EU asks AI companies to prove their compliance with safety rules

European Commission spokesperson Thomas Regnier said at the Commission’s daily press briefing in Brussels that compliance with safety rules could not be left to the discretion of AI companies. Regnier said companies must prove that citizens can use their services safely.

Regnier said the Artificial Intelligence Act was in force and that the first requests for information had been sent as part of its implementation. He said the EU supported technological innovation, but stressed that AI services must fully comply with the law and safety measures to be used in Europe.

Regnier said the EU was playing an active and leading role in the field of AI safety. He noted that safety measures designed to protect citizens were being applied during the development and deployment of AI systems.

Asked whether Anthropic had contacted the Commission about its proposal to slow the pace of AI development, the European Commission spokesperson said he was unaware of any such discussions. Regnier said they would not comment on possible bilateral contacts.

Regnier said the EU Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) had access to most of the most advanced AI models and that the agency was testing them. Saying that they wanted the newest and most innovative models to be used in Europe, Regnier said safety standards would not be compromised.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei called on companies to slow the pace at which their models are developed as concerns grew over the control of AI systems. Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, who leads the U.S.-based AI company, supported Amodei’s call on their social media accounts.
