The European Union and the US today announced a plan to draft a joint “code of conduct” on artificial intelligence (AI)which will be open to all democratic countries and will be applied voluntarily in this area, at a time when the major powers are considering the introduction of regulatory rules.
“In the coming weeks we will present the draft code of ethics for artificial intelligence”Competition Commissioner Marget Vestager said at a press conference in Sweden together with US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken.
The goal is “to define voluntary rules that will be open to all countries that share the same values,” he explained. The basic idea is to present “very, very soon” a definitive proposal to which US industry giants such as Microsoft, Meta and Google “could voluntarily commit,” Vestager explained.
The topic of artificial intelligence was one of the main topics during the meeting of the Council of Commerce and Technology (CCT) held in the northern Swedish city of Luleå. The creator of the revolutionary ChatGPT bot, Sam Altman, was also present.
The CCT, in which the US and the EU participate, was established in 2021 with the aim of turning the page on the “trade turbulence” of the Trump presidency.
“The EU and the US share the common view that AI technologies offer great opportunities but also present risks for our society,” they said in their final communique.
The EU wants to be the first in the world to have a full and mandatory legislative framework to limit the risks of artificial intelligence, but it will not be in place until the end of 2025. China also has some plans to implement a regulatory framework to oversee the safety of artificial intelligence tools. In Washington, despite much discussion, there is currently no mandatory framework on the table.
Americans and Europeans fear that if the West does not come together in time, Chinese standards will prevail.
