First Code of Practice plenary for general-purpose AI was on 30 September, revealing disagreements between GPAI providers and other stakeholders.
Legislative Process
Euractiv's tech journalist Jacob Wulff Wold reported that the European Commission held its first Code of Practice plenary for general-purpose AI (GPAI) on 30 September. The Commission shared a list of chairs and vice-chairs for working groups drafting the Code and welcomed nearly 1,000 participants to the virtual plenary. The drafting process will incorporate input from a multi-stakeholder consultation, workshops with GPAI providers and chairs/vice-chairs, and Code of Practice plenaries. The first draft is expected around 3 November, with the final version due in April 2025. Preliminary results from the stakeholder consultation, which received almost 430 submissions, were presented at the plenary. The consultation revealed differing opinions on data disclosure and risk assessment measures between GPAI providers and other stakeholders. The Commission received diverse input, with [...]

Turing Award-winning AI expert Yoshua Bengio recommends that the EU take inspiration from the California AI safety bill as they implement their own AI regulation.
Analysis
California bill could enhance EU AI Act: Euractiv's Jacob Wulff Wold reported on the California bill, Senate Bill (SB) 1047, which would require the developers of AI models trained with more than $100 million in computing resources to follow and disclose a Safety and Security Plan (SSP) aimed at preventing critical harm. SB 1047 defines critical harm as incidents causing mass casualties or material damages exceeding $500 million. Prominent figures like Yoshua Bengio, the Turing Award-winning AI expert, have praised the bill, recommending that the EU take inspiration from it as they implement their own AI regulation, the AI Act. The European Commission has been closely monitoring the Californian bill and has met with Senate representatives in early summer to exchange views. [...]

The general-purpose AI consultation deadline has been extended to 18 September upon the request of a coalition of eleven tech industry associations.
Legislative Process
General-purpose AI consultation deadline extended: According to Euractiv's Eliza Gkritsi, a group of eleven tech industry associations requested the European Commission to extend the deadline for submitting inputs on the Code of Practice for general-purpose AI. In a letter dated 8 August, the group argued that the six-week consultation period, scheduled for the middle of summer, restricted their ability to provide meaningful input. They were seeking a minimum two-week extension. The associations, representing companies from the EU and US, included industry groups like Allied for Startups, the American Chamber of Commerce to the European Union and several national tech associations from France, Germany and Poland. Signatories included organisations representing big tech companies such as Google, Meta, Oracle, Amazon, Microsoft and Samsung. The appeal was [...]

On 1 August the EU AI Act took effect. It aims to promote responsible AI development and deployment in the EU.
Legislative Process
AI Act enters into force: On 1 August, the EU AI Act took effect, aiming to promote responsible AI development and deployment in the EU. Initially proposed in April 2021 and agreed upon by the European Parliament and the Council in December 2023, the Act addresses potential risks to citizens' health, safety, and fundamental rights. It sets clear requirements for AI developers and deployers while minimising administrative and financial burdens on businesses. The Act introduces a uniform framework across EU countries, employing a risk-based approach:
1) Minimal risk: systems like spam filters face no obligations but may voluntarily adopt codes of conduct;
2) Specific transparency risk: systems like chatbots must inform users they are interacting with machines, and AI-generated content must be labelled [...]---

EU AI Act's compliance costs and lack of clarity cause concern among tech start-ups ahead of next week's entry into force.
Legislative Process
It is official! The EU AI Act has been published in the Official Journal of the European Union. It will now enter into force on 1 August.
Parliament's possible oversight body: According to Euractiv's Eliza Gkritsi and Théophane Hartmann, the European Parliament is considering establishing a monitoring group for the implementation of the AI Act. MEPs have voiced concerns about the European Commission's approach to key tasks. Brando Benifei, formerly a rapporteur on the Act, announced plans to formalise a parliamentary monitoring group, in which he expects to play a leading role. Benifei warned of potential risks if the Commission fails to implement the Act properly, particularly regarding transparency provisions. Some MEPs have urged the Commission to involve civil society in developing codes of practice [...]

Members of the European Parliament sent a letter to the AI Office asking for greater inclusion of civil society and other stakeholders in the drafting of codes of practice for general-purpose AI.
Legislative Process
MEPs have questions about the codes of practice process: POLITICO's Morning Tech published a letter (unfortunately behind a paywall) by MEPs Brando Benifei, Svenja Hahn, Katerina Konečná, Sergey Lagodinsky, Kim Van Sparrentak, Axel Voss and Kosma Złotowski urging the EU's AI Office to include civil society in the drafting of rules for powerful AI models. In the letter, they express concern that the Commission plans initially to involve only AI model providers, potentially allowing them to define these practices themselves. The MEPs argue this approach could undermine the development of a robust, globally influential code of practice for general-purpose AI models. They stress the importance of an inclusive process involving diverse voices from companies [...]

The Council of the EU approved the AI Act and the law will now enter into force very soon.
Legislative Process
AI Act is finally adopted: The Council of the EU approved the AI Act on 21 May. This legislation, the first of its kind in the world, adopts a 'risk-based' approach, imposing stricter regulations on AI systems with higher potential to harm society. The Act aims to standardise AI rules, potentially setting a global standard for AI regulation. Its primary goal is to promote the development and adoption of safe and trustworthy AI systems within the EU's single market, ensuring they respect fundamental rights while fostering investment and innovation. However, the Act exempts certain areas such as military and defence applications, and research purposes. Mathieu Michel, Belgian Secretary of State for digitisation, administrative simplification, privacy protection and building regulation, highlights the Act's emphasis on trust, transparency and [...]
