Tech sector calls on EU to pause AI Act
Briefly

CCIA Europe, representing major tech firms, urges the EU to pause the AI Act's implementation due to concerns over its hasty rollout. The Act, effective since June, has key provisions on General-Purpose AI becoming enforceable soon, yet lacks essential compliance guidelines. This has raised alarm among tech leaders regarding competitiveness and innovation. CCIA believes a delay will foster a comprehensive legal framework, allowing companies to adapt. Senior VP Daniel Friedlaender emphasizes the need for legal certainty to maintain Europe's lead in AI while mitigating the risk of stifling innovation.
The Commission's current timetable is unrealistic, and the forced introduction could hinder innovation and jeopardize the economic potential of AI in Europe.
According to Daniel Friedlaender, it is unwise to pursue leadership in AI while implementing restrictive measures, suggesting a pause would avoid delays in innovation.
