Artificial intelligence - Kretschmann warns against overly strict rules for AI
According to a media report, the state government of Baden-Württemberg is warning the European Union of the potential consequences of overly strict regulation of companies and applications in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). The "Südwest Presse" reported on Thursday about a letter that Minister President Winfried Kretschmann (Greens) and his ministers responsible for digitalization, science and the economy have written to the EU Commission.
Shortly before the conclusion of negotiations on the "AI Act", the government called for an "enabling approach", according to the letter to the responsible Director-General of the EU Commission, Roberto Viola. "Science and industry must not be curtailed in their innovative strength by the planned regulations, nor be unduly burdened by bureaucratic requirements."
According to the report, the state government is making ten specific demands, including "clear, comprehensible and unambiguous regulations" in the new AI regulation, which is expected at the beginning of December. A planned transitional period should be extended and the regulation should be "designed in such a way that only AI systems that are actually high-risk are classified as high-risk". In addition, more money must flow into research: "In order to keep up with global competition, large joint projects must be initiated at European level. This also requires sufficient financial support," write the Stuttgart government members.
