EU regulation \u2018far too restrictive\u2019<\/p>\n
A former business executive in charge of brands including MediaMarkt, Wildberger took office in May of last year as minister in charge of digitalization and government modernization.<\/p>\n
The German minister also addressed the EU\u2019s AI rulebook, calling for changes through ongoing talks in Brussels to simplify the rules. <\/p>\n
\u201cIf you ask me about AI regulation, and whether we allow companies to develop things quickly, with little bureaucracy and in an innovative way, then I would say that our framework […] is far too restrictive,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The current AI legislation \u201cdoes not meet international standards at all. This is also one of the reasons why so many companies in Europe turn abroad when it comes to AI development,\u201d he said. Wildberger said he fears that German companies will leave the country if the EU\u2019s legislation doesn\u2019t create more supportive conditions. <\/p>\n
He pointed to a connection with the sovereignty debate, arguing the rules are one of the main reasons why German and European companies use foreign software providers. <\/p>\n
\u201cAs a result, we regularly end up being customers of large providers from the United States or other countries. That is why we need to ensure that regulation becomes more innovation-friendly \u2014 while still guaranteeing the safety of products,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"EU regulation \u2018far too restrictive\u2019 A former business executive in charge of brands including MediaMarkt, Wildberger took office…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":4612,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[699,1379,2828,4729,1446,4730,4731,5,4732,4733,4734,4735,2892,4736,43,774,481],"class_list":["post-4611","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-germany","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-companies","tag-data","tag-data-protection","tag-denmark","tag-digitalization","tag-dr-karsten-wildberger","tag-germany","tag-greenland","tag-omnibus","tag-regulation","tag-safety","tag-services","tag-software","tag-technology","tag-ukraine","tag-united-states"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4611","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4611"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4611\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4612"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4611"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4611"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4611"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
