Digital Minister Volker Wissing (here in front of the FDP’s federal office) wanted a different AI Act, but was unable to get his way this time.

Federal Digital Minister Volker Wissing (FDP) gave up his opposition to the compromise from the trilogue on the AI Act. The Federal Government was thus able to agree on a joint position.
