EU is 'losing the narrative battle' over AI Act, says UN adviser

Carme Artigas, co-chair of the UN advisory board on AI, asserts that European companies are misled into believing the EU AI Act stifles innovation. She emphasizes that this narrative, promoted by the US, aims to disincentivize investment in Europe. Artigas argues that the main goal of the AI Act is to provide certainty for citizens and encourage widespread adoption of AI technologies.

Lucilla Sioli, head of the European Commission's AI Office, supports the notion that regulation is necessary to build consumer trust in AI products. Despite the AI Act's complexities, it primarily involves self-assessment for companies, with most systems facing minimal obligations. Concerns remain about the potential negative impact of the AI Act on the European AI ecosystem, as highlighted by industry leaders.

• Artigas claims EU AI Act is misrepresented as harmful to innovation.

• Only 8% of EU companies utilized AI technologies in 2023.
