The EU’s AI Act is more than a regulatory text—it’s a declaration of European values in the digital age. As pressure mounts to delay or weaken it, we must stay the course, provide clarity for innovators, and show that Europe stands by its democratic decisions.

The AI Office has finally begun clarifying key questions around the AI Act's GPAI rules - especially who is in scope, what constitutes "placing on the market," and how one becomes a GPAI provider. A new working paper suggests sensible FLOP-based thresholds, limits burdens on downstream users, and incentivizes adherence to the Code of Practice; offering long-awaited legal certainty, though some open issues and consultation flaws remain.

Yesterday, parliamentarians involved in the AI Act negotiations have sent a strong message to the European Commission, underlining that the final GPAI Code of Practice should better reflect the trilogue agreement.

In its 2025 work programme, the European Commission effectively scrapped the AI Liability Directive (AILD) – a move that threatens to unravel trust in the EU’s burgeoning AI policy landscape. This abrupt decision strips away potential critical protections for victims of AI-related harm and denies businesses the legal certainty they need to innovate.

Today, we start our first public consultation to ask you for insight when it comes to liability scenarios and AI. This is the part of our Better Regulation initiative.

Today, we want to give you some insight in our timeline and early ideas on this important legislative file that will complement the AI Act as last part of the EU AI strategy.

The chairs’ vision will be crucial in guiding GPAI rules for the future and ensuring that EU way to AI trustworthiness will endure.
