Code of practice to help companies with AI rules may come end 2025, EU says
BRUSSELS, July 3 (Reuters) - A code of practice designed to help thousands of companies comply with the European Union's landmark artificial intelligence rules may only be issued at the end of 2025, the European Commission said on Thursday, potentially marking a delay of more than six months. Alphabet's (GOOGL.O), opens new tab Google, Meta Platforms (META.O), opens new tab, European companies such as Mistral and ASML ( opens new tab as well as several EU governments have called for a delay in implementing the Artificial Intelligence Act, partly due to the lack of a code of practice. Publication of the Code of Practice for large language models (GPAI) such as OpenAI's ChatGPT and similar models launched by Google and Mistral had originally been planned for May 2. "On the AI Act's GPAI rules, the European AI Board is discussing the timing to implement the Code of Practice, with the end of 2025 being considered," a Commission spokesperson said. Signing up to the code is voluntary but companies who decline to do so, as some Big Tech firms have indicated, will not benefit from the legal certainty provided to a signatory. The Commission pushed back against calls for a delay in rolling out the AI rules. "Our commitment to the goals of the AI Act, such as establishing harmonised risk-based rules across the EU and ensuring the safety of AI systems in the European market, remains unchanged," the spokesperson said.

Their report states the location ceased trading on 20 June, following a review as its lease was nearing expiry. Sunil Joshi, managing director, said: "We can confirm that the Wilmoths Winchester Bar End branch is closing. 'The lease for the site was due for renewal, and after careful consideration, we have made the decision not to extend it. "This choice reflects our ongoing efforts to streamline operations while continuing to provide excellent service to our customers, many of whom are also able to access our nearby Wilmoths Southampton branch. "We are committed to keeping our customers informed and ensuring a smooth transition. "Every effort is being made to minimise disruption and maintain the high level of service our customers expect."

HIT THE BRAKES After a problem-strewn period of months, Nissan has confirmed it will be axing hundreds of jobs at one of its Sunderland factory. New Nissan Leaf tested - it's bigger, better and goes further The move comes after the firm reported £4 billion losses in the last financial year. 250 jobs will be cut under a "voluntary leave scheme" letting employees choose to leave their roles with support from the company. It comes just weeks after the Japanese firm announced the new Nissan Leaf would be made at the Sunderland site. The job losses will hit non-manufacturing positions with around 250 staff to be made redundant. Nissan has announced the cuts amid a desperate bid to balance the books and support a global effort to become a more "resilient business." The attempts to save the brand were ramped up after merger talks with Honda fell through. Earlier this year the firm announced 20,000 job losses, seven factory closures and a pause on all post-2026 new car development. The closures of seven of its factories would see the brand limited to just 10 sites.

Explainer: Will the EU delay enforcing its AI Act?
STOCKHOLM, July 3 (Reuters) - With less than a month to go before parts of the European Union's AI Act come into force, companies are calling for a pause in the provisions and getting support from some politicians. Groups representing big U.S. tech companies such as Google owner Alphabet (GOOGL.O), opens new tab and Facebook owner Meta (META.O), opens new tab, and European companies such as Mistral and ASML ( opens new tabhave urged, opens new tab the European Commission to delay the AI Act by years. Under the landmark act that was passed a year earlier after intense debate between EU countries, its provisions would come into effect in a staggered manner, opens new tab over several years. Some important provisions, including rules for general purpose AI (GPAI) models, are due to apply on August 2. GPAI, which includes foundation models like those made by Google, Mistral and OpenAI, will be subject to transparency requirements such as drawing up technical documentation, complying with EU copyright law and providing detailed summaries about the content used for algorithm training. The companies will also need to test for bias, toxicity, and robustness before launching. AI models classed as posing a systemic risk and high-impact GPAI will have to conduct model evaluations, assess and mitigate risks, conduct adversarial testing, report to the European Commission on serious incidents and provide information on their energy efficiency. For AI companies, the enforcement of the act means additional costs for compliance. And for ones that make AI models, the requirements are tougher. But companies are also unsure how to comply with the rules as there are no guidelines yet. The AI Code of Practice, a guidance document to help AI developers to comply with the act, missed its publication date, opens new tab of May 2. "To address the uncertainty this situation is creating, we urge the Commission to propose a two-year 'clock-stop' on the AI Act before key obligations enter into force," said an open letter, opens new tab published on Thursday by a group of 45 European companies. It also called for simplification of the new rules. Another concern is that the act may stifle innovation, particularly in Europe where companies have smaller compliance teams than their U.S. counterparts. The European Commission has not yet commented on whether it will postpone the enforcement of the new rules in August. However, EU tech chief Henna Virkkunen promised on Wednesday to publish the AI Code of Practice before next month. Some political leaders, such as Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson, have also called, opens new tab the AI rules "confusing" and asked the EU to pause the act. "A bold 'stop-the-clock' intervention is urgently needed to give AI developers and deployers legal certainty, as long as necessary standards remain unavailable or delayed," tech lobbying group CCIA Europe said. The European Commission did not respond immediatelyt to requests for comment.
