Meta says it will not sign the EU's final version of the "Code of Conduct for General Artificial Intelligence" and criticizes it for "excessive intervention"

Joel Kaplan, Meta's chief global affairs officer, said in a LinkedIn post on the 18th that Meta would not sign the final version of the General Artificial Intelligence Code of Conduct released by the European Union earlier this month. "The code has brought a lot of legal uncertainty to model developers, and its measures are far beyond the scope of the EU's Artificial Intelligence Act." Kaplan mentioned that earlier this month, 44 major European companies including Bosch, Siemens, SAP, and Airbus signed a joint letter calling on the European Commission to stop implementing the code. "We share the concerns of these companies that this excessive intervention will stifle the development and deployment of cutting-edge artificial intelligence models in Europe and hinder European companies that hope to build businesses on them."
