According to a document reviewed by Reuters, France, Germany, and Italy have jointly agreed on the regulatory approach for artificial intelligence (AI). This agreement is poised to expedite discussions on AI regulation across Europe. The trio advocates for compulsory self-regulation via conduct codes, particularly for foundational AI models capable of generating diverse results. However, they stand against the implementation of unproven standards.
The document details that creators of foundational models must establish model cards, which serve as tools for conveying details about a machine learning (ML) model.
The joint paper said:
“Together we underline that the AI Act regulates the application of AI and not the technology as such. The inherent risks lie in the application of AI systems rather than in the technology itself. The model cards shall include the relevant information to understand the functioning of the model, its capabilities and its limits and will be based on best practices within the developers community. An AI governance body could help to develop guidelines and could check the application of model cards.”
