Ein leuchtender Computerchip mit einem Paragraphensymbol und Roboterfinger mit Schriftzug KI FOTOMONTAGE — AI will be used in all areas in the future – often as a further development of basic models. The question is: what rules should apply to the development of base models?

It’s decision week for the AI Act: Wednesday’s trilogue is set to be the last. However, both sides are still arguing about the regulation of Foundation Models and GPAI. The pressure to reach a conclusion is increasing.

Intense discussions at the EU ambassador level on Friday afternoon: How should foundation models such as GPT-4 and general purpose AI (GPAI) be regulated in the AI Act? France is opposed to tough regulation and wants „regulated self-regulation“ instead. Other countries are somewhat more flexible, even though Germany and Italy had supported the French position in a non-paper. The Spanish Council Presidency nevertheless expressed confidence on Friday that the three countries could be brought back under the Council’s mandate.
