Fifty European researchers and
companies - including EssilorLuxottica, Prada, Pirelli, Exor
Group, Meta, Spotify - have urged the EU to change its strategy
on artificial intelligence (AI) in order not to "remain excluded
from the great benefits of an open technology able to accelerate
economic growth and research" in an open letter.
The appeal sent Thursday to European legislators and regulators
- which was also signed by Engineering, Ericsson and Nicolò
Cesa-Bianchi (Università degli Studi di Milano), among others -
asked for "fast, harmonized, coherent and clear decisions"
allowing the use of European data to train AI systems in order
to benefit citizens who would otherwise be "deprived of progress
instead enjoyed by the US, China and India".
The European Union's AI Act, the first binding worldwide
horizontal regulation on AI which entered into force in August,
sets a common framework for the use and supply of AI systems in
the EU.
