Meta said on Friday that it won't sign the European Union's new AI code of practice. The guidelines provide a framework for the EU's AI Act, which regulates companies operating in the European Union.

Microsoft will likely sign the European Union's code of practice to help companies comply with the bloc's landmark artificial intelligence rules, its president told Reuters on Friday, while Meta Platforms rebuffed the guidelines.

Meta Platforms’ Chief Global Affairs Officer said the Facebook and Instagram owner wouldn’t sign the European Union’s code of practice for general-purpose artificial intelligence because it adds uncertainty and goes beyond the scope of AI legislation in the bloc.
