As the use of artificial intelligence becomes more widespread, efforts to regulate this solution have also gained momentum.
According to a joint document seen by Reuters, which is expected to accelerate negotiations at the European level, an agreement has been reached by Germany, France, and Italy on how artificial intelligence should be regulated in the future.
The three governments are in favor of binding voluntary commitments for both large and small artificial intelligence providers in the European Union.
The European Commission, the European Parliament, and the EU Council are also negotiating how the union should position itself in this new field.
In June, the Parliament introduced an "AI Act" aimed at preventing security risks arising from artificial intelligence applications and avoiding discriminatory effects, while not slowing down the innovative power of this new technology in Europe.
During the discussions, the European Parliament proposed that codes of conduct should initially be binding only for large artificial intelligence providers from the US.
However, the three EU governments warned against this clear competitive advantage for smaller European providers. They stated that this could lead to less trust in the security of these smaller providers and, consequently, fewer customers.
Therefore, they added that rules on conduct and transparency should be binding for everyone.
