companies signing the agreeme; Refusal of Apple and Meta
According to Politico, more than 100 companies, including OpenAI, Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and Samsung, have signed up. But the names of two big companies, i.e. Apple and Meta, are not seen in this list.
In this regard, Apple has announced that it is in direct coact with the EU authorities, but has not signed this voluary agreeme.
Anna Kuperian, Meta’s spokeswoman, also told Politico in a stateme:
“We welcome harmonized EU legislation and are currely focusing on AI with regard to the AI Act, but we do not rule out joining the AI Treaty at a later stage.”
This report has been published as regulators around the world are currely scrutinizing major technology companies regarding data privacy and algorithmic decisions. This can coribute to the non-acceptance of the EU treaty by various companies.
Of course, Apple and Meta, without participating in this so-called voluary program, are forced to release their new AI products and services a little later or with strict supervision in Europe.
