Meta and Industry Leaders Criticize EU's AI Regulations as Overreach
Meta announced it will not sign the EU's voluntary AI code of practice, criticizing it as overreaching and unnecessary, amid ongoing tensions over AI regulation in Europe. The company argues the guidelines introduce legal uncertainties and go beyond the scope of the AI Act, continuing its stance against EU AI regulations, which it claims hinder innovation. While signing the code offers legal protections and reduces regulatory scrutiny, Meta prefers to avoid commitments that could lead to stricter oversight and penalties.
