Tech companies release a joint letter requesting more time from the EU to comply with AI Act requirements, citing challenges due to the summer recess.
A group of organizations in the tech industry released a joint letter addressed to the European Commission requesting to extend compliance deadlines on General Purpose Artificial Intelligence (AI).
On Aug. 9, the organizations — including DOT Europe, The Software Alliance (BSA), AmChamEU and the Computer & Communications Industry Association (CCIA Europe) (CCIA) — asked for more time due to the summer recess.
The companies said the current time of year “poses significant challenges and limits the ability of [their] associations to provide meaningful contributions.” They proposed extending the consultation deadline for at least two more weeks to provide better results.
