Elon Musk's xAI Signs EU AI Code Safety Chapter Only

News summary

Elon Musk's AI startup xAI has announced it will sign only the Safety and Security chapter of the European Union's voluntary Code of Practice on artificial intelligence, expressing support for AI safety while criticizing other parts of the code as restrictive and detrimental to innovation, particularly the copyright provisions. The EU Code of Practice, developed by 13 independent experts, is divided into three chapters—Transparency, Copyright, and Safety and Security—to help companies prepare for the upcoming AI Act. While xAI focuses on safety measures such as risk assessments and robustness testing, it declined to commit to the transparency and copyright chapters, citing concerns over innovation and intellectual property rights. Other major tech companies have varied responses: Google intends to sign the entire code, Microsoft is likely to do so, and Meta has refused to sign any part due to legal uncertainties and overreach. Signing the voluntary code can provide companies with greater legal certainty under the EU's evolving AI regulations. xAI’s Grok AI chatbot is available on Musk’s social media platform X, illustrating the company's active role in AI development amid the regulatory landscape.
