Germany to approve EU's planned AI act - Reuters

Germany will approve the European Union's pioneering AI Act after the minister responsible for digital issues said a compromise had been reached. The European Union in December reached a provisional deal for artificial intelligence rules to establish a regulatory framework for the development of AI, but it has to be agreed by members and the European Parliament. "Without the use of artificial intelligence, there will be no competitiveness in the future," said German Digital Minister Volker Wissing, of the pro-business Free Democrats who are strong advocates of protecting civil liberties.
