The European Commission is preparing new measures to make it easier for startups to comply with artificial intelligence (AI) regulations. A document obtained by the media says the EU will soon start collecting feedback to reduce regulatory pressure on small innovative companies that find it difficult to comply with the new rules.
The initiative is part of the EU’s efforts to ease legislation passed in recent years. Plenty of businesses in Europe have complained about onerous rules that prevent them from operating smoothly and raise costs. The document, dubbed the “Action Plan for the continent’s AI,” stresses the importance of minimising compliance, especially for small and medium-sized companies.
As noted in the document, the European Commission is going to take into account the first experiences of the AI Act and develop additional measures to simplify its implementation.
In addition, the EC is targeting progress on the creation of five AI gigafactories across the EU. They will train the most complex and largest AI models.
In addition, European countries plan to triple the capacity of their data centres in the next 5-7 years.
Earlier this year, the EU expressed concern over Washington’s imposition of restrictive measures on the export of artificial intelligence chips and models to a number of European countries. According to the EU, the purchase of advanced US AI chips by all countries of the union without restrictions is in the interests of the US economy and security.
