The United States government is expressing significant concern over the European Union's upcoming AI code of practice, which is poised to introduce tougher requirements on transparency, risk management, and intellectual property for developers of advanced artificial intelligence technology.
This code is being crafted as a guiding framework for AI firms to adhere to the regulations of the EU's Artificial Intelligence Act. The U.S. administration's opposition highlights a larger conflict with the EU regarding technology regulations.
Differences in regulatory standards have been a point of contention, with U.S. officials, including President Trump, criticizing the EU's regulatory approach as being biased against American tech companies, potentially hindering their competitive edge in the global market.
