BSA | The Software Alliance Policy Director – Europe Matteo Quattrocchi speaks to the need for clarifications in the AI Act that reflect companies’ roles in the AI ecosystem.
“The enterprise software industry remains concerned about the allocation of responsibilities in the AI value chain and the treatment of foundation models,” said Matteo Quattrocchi, BSA’s policy director. “The rules as currently written are not tailored to reflect companies’ roles in the AI ecosystem, or differences in business models and AI uses, and likely will not address some of the concerns raised by specific applications of some foundation models.”
