Dear researchers, policy makers, EU citizens,
Big Tech lobbies are trying to water down the AI Act that is due to be
finalised in a week's time, on 6 December.
An alliance of Germany and France, under pressure from Big Tech and
European companies like Aleph Alpha and Mistral, are now trying to
exempt foundational models from regulation in a toothless
self-regulatory framework.
Foundational AI models are high-risk models and need to be regulated
BEFORE they enter our society. It is unacceptable that citizens are
being treated as guinea pigs while the private sector is exempt from
accountability - but making billions.
Big Tech platforms have continuously pressured EU bodies and national
governments to undermine the AI Act.
Act now and put pressure on the EU AI regulation to be a regulation
worthy of its name.
Sign and share the petition and speak out wherever you can!
