EU tech chief says bloc ‘well equipped’ to fend off rogue AI risk
Henna Virkkunen said the bloc’s AI Act covers the full life cycle of advanced models as the Commission reviews responses from more than 30 companies.
- On Friday, EU tech chief Henna Virkkunen told Reuters that European Union rules adopted two years ago are "more than capable of tackling rogue agents" amid global AI safety concerns.
- Mounting global concerns about artificial intelligence, triggered by recent incidents at OpenAI and Anthropic, have sparked fears that rogue systems might slip beyond human control.
- The European Commission sent requests for information in late August to more than 30 AI companies, including those in China and the United States, with investigations potentially resulting in fines of up to 7% of annual turnover.
- Regulators are providing guidance to companies on evaluating models, incorporating recommendations from a scientific panel of 60 AI experts from universities and institutions to ensure compliance with the Act's lifecycle coverage.
- Virkkunen dismissed criticism that the bloc's rules are outdated, noting the Act already accounts for coming developments by requiring companies assess risks, use external experts, and continue monitoring their models.
