It is reported that the US administration has sent an official démarche document that formally requests the European Commission to address the flaws in the Code of Practice for general purpose AI models. The US critique highlights (1) the need for substantial amendments to enhance flexibility, reduce prescriptiveness, strengthen trade secret protections, better align with the AI Act itself, and clarify its relationship with EU copyright law; (2) several practical implementation challenges, particularly for open-weights models, including monitoring, incident reporting and staging requirements; (3) concerns about regulatory discrimination against predominantly US-based large AI developers through disproportionate regulatory burdens that could discourage growth; and (4) additional concerns on elements exceeding the AI Act’s provisions, unclear application to downstream players who modify models, and terminology misaligned with international scientific consensus.
