AmCham Response to EU Consultation on Future Proof AI Act, Trustworthy General Purpose AI

The American Chamber of Commerce Ireland (AmCham) welcomes the opportunity to engage with the European AI Office on the topics covered by the first Code of Practice on detailing out rules for providers of general-purpose AI (GPAI) models in the context of the AI Act. The introduction of the AI Act will have a considerable impact on industry and wider society, AmCham therefore appreciates the AI Office’s consultative approach to the implementation of the Act.

It is key that AI Act is introduced in a manner that fosters responsible innovation, continues to attract investment, supports adoption across the EU economy, and is mindful of the continuous technological advancements that are happening in the field. There are several overarching principles that AmCham would like to see applied to the Code of Practice. It is important that legal clarity is prioritised in all
aspects of the Code of Practice, that international standards and best practice are adhered to, that it ensures essential information is shared within the value chain, and that the Code of Practice remains adaptable to future developments in this space.
