Germany, France, and Italy have jointly agreed on future regulations for artificial intelligence (AI), aiming to propel European negotiations forward. The three nations advocate for mandatory commitments from both large and small AI providers within the European Union. Discussions among the European Commission, Parliament, and Council revolve around the EU’s stance on AI. While the Parliament proposed binding codes initially for major U.S. AI providers, the joint agreement emphasizes uniformity to prevent competitive disadvantages for smaller European entities. Sanctions may follow code violations after a grace period, overseen by a future European authority, with Germany prioritizing AI application regulation over the technology itself.
