They also pointed out that the third draft of the code of practice removes the obligation for AI providers to inform the European Commission of the results of their evaluations of systemic risks, which is a mandatory requirement under the AI Act.
“The most impactful AI providers must inform the AI Office about the results of their evaluations, including any systemic risk identified,” the lawmakers wrote. “This is essential to ensure transparency and accountability in the new AI ecosystem.”
Benifei told Fortune that the lawmakers expect the European Commission to revise the code of practice to ensure that it aligns with the AI Act’s requirements. He said he and his colleagues will continue to monitor the situation closely to ensure that the EU’s AI rules are not undermined.
“We will keep an eye on this process and we will be vigilant,” he said. “We need to make sure that the code of practice is in line with the spirit and the letter of the legislation that we approved.”
It remains to be seen how the European Commission will respond to the concerns raised by the lawmakers and whether the code of practice will be revised to address these issues. The outcome of this process could have significant implications for how AI is regulated in the EU and how tech companies operate within the bloc.
