European Industry Leaders Call for Delay in EU AI Regulations

European companies including ASML, Airbus, and Mistral AI have urged the EU to delay the implementation of its AI regulation by two years, citing concerns that the current rules could hinder innovation and competitiveness. The companies criticize the delayed guidelines and the voluntary code of practice, which they find unworkable, and warn that delays could push back the regulation's enforcement, affecting the development and deployment of advanced AI models like ChatGPT.
