Three EU countries are pioneering the establishment of standards for managing artificial intelligence applications.

The governments of these three countries support binding voluntary commitments for both large and small AI providers in the European Union (EU).

The European Commission, the European Parliament, and the European Council are currently negotiating how the EU should position itself in this new area.

The European Parliament introduced the "AI Act" in June 2023, aiming to mitigate risks from AI applications and avoid discriminatory effects, without slowing the technological innovation momentum in Europe. During discussions, the European Parliament proposed that the initial code of conduct should only be binding on large AI providers, primarily from the United States.

However, these three countries have warned about this clear competitive advantage for smaller European suppliers. They argue that this could erode confidence in the security of smaller suppliers and lead them to attract fewer customers. Therefore, these three countries also argue that rules of conduct and transparency must be binding on everyone.

According to the document adopted by Germany, France, and Italy, sanctions should not be applied initially. However, if violations of the code of conduct are detected after a certain period, a system of sanctions may be established. The document states that in the future, a competent European authority will monitor compliance with the standards.

The German Ministry of Economics , the agency responsible for AI regulation along with the Ministry for Digital Affairs, argues that laws and state controls should regulate AI applications, not the technology itself. Furthermore, the government should not independently regulate the development of AI models that are not yet in use or ready for market release.

Issues surrounding AI will be on the agenda when the German and Italian governments hold talks in Berlin on November 22nd.
