Meta refuses to sign EU's AI code of practice

Meta has declined to sign the EU’s voluntary AI Code of Practice, highlighting growing resistance among U.S. tech firms to Europe’s regulatory push for AI safety, transparency, and responsible development.

Meta has formally refused to sign the European Union’s AI Code of Practice, a key component of the EU’s broader AI Act aimed at enforcing safety, transparency, and ethical standards in artificial intelligence development.

The decision places Meta among several U.S. and European companies pushing back against what they view as overly restrictive or premature regulations. The EU's risk-based approach contrasts with more voluntary frameworks in the U.S., exposing a growing divide in global AI governance.

This move could impact Meta’s compliance obligations in Europe and influence how other tech firms respond to the increasing regulatory scrutiny around AI safety.
