BRUSSELS — Germany is on track to have the EU’s artificial intelligence rules rewritten to ease the pressure on its struggling industrial heavyweights such as Siemens and Bosch.
EU ambassadors agreed to support Germany’s push to exempt machinery from the EU’s artificial intelligence law as part of talks that could conclude Wednesday night, five EU diplomats told POLITICO.
It’s a big win for Berlin, which has launched a last-ditch effort over the past few weeks to secure less stringent AI rules for its industries. Chancellor Friedrich Merz personally promised German CEOs to fight for a more supportive AI regime at the EU level.
