The report shows Big Tech has used all the lobbying tricks in the book to water down the #AIAct.

🕴️ Used shady groups to lobby on its behalf
💵 Funded academics and think tanks
👥 Pushed its agenda through a crucial expert group
🇺🇸 Mobilized the US government to lobby the EU

Corporate Europe Observatory
🤝 The report documents more than a 1000 meetings between interest groups and member of the @EUparliament on the #AIAct

56% of those meetings were with industry while only 13% were with civil society.

Big Tech heavily lobbied for self-assessments and a narrow definition of AI.

👎 Crucially, industry is on the brink of successfully pushing any rules on general purpose AI into the future, excluding AI systems such as Chat GPT from regulation.
Corporate Europe Observatory
❌ The Council is pushing for problematic exceptions for law enforcement and national security.

This allows the use of extremely harmful AI systems against people on the move.

The #AIAct is now moving to the secretive trilogue negotiations which tends to benefit well-funded lobbyists 🕵️‍♂️

Let’s not permit Big Tech to kill the AI act in the dark.

Sign the petition for trilogue transparency

One of the most important steps in EU decision-making takes place behind closed doors. We call on the EU to end this secrecy. We have the right to be informed about the negotiations between the Commission, the Parliament and the member states.
