Walker’s comments added the pressure, after Meta’s high lobbyist, Joel Kaplan, opened fire on the code, claiming that the rules established “unrealizable and technically unrealizable requirements”.
The code of practice is monitoring the EU AI rules book adopted last summer. The final code is intended to give a substance to what has been said in law. It addresses thorny subjects such as how to disclose what data was used to form models and how companies should face the “systemic” risks.
Big Tech criticisms fall just ahead of the IA action summit in Paris, where the president of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen and the owner of Henna virkkunen technology want to show that the EU is open in business.
The EU has to fight against increasingly ferocious criticisms of its technological regulations since the President of the United States, Donald Trump, took office and supported the giants of American technology in their message according to which laws and laws and laws EU fines is equivalent to “prices”.
Kaplan de Meta told an audience in Brussels in a video interview that the social media giant would not sign the code in its current form. He said it was going to be “beyond the requirements” of the AI Act.
Walker said that for Google, it is “too early to say” if the company would sign the code, suggesting that the AI summit in Paris could be a pivotal moment.
The president of World Affairs of Google argued that the code threatens to introduce several requirements, as in copyright or third-party model tests, which go beyond the scope of the exercise, have already been Taken elsewhere, or have put a burden on the industry.
The work on the code of practice should end in April, but its success depends on if companies like Google and Meta are registered.
