Major technology companies are mounting opposition to European Union regulations on artificial intelligence and market dominance, bolstered by support from the Trump administration. According to a Financial Times report by Barbara Moens, Hannah Murphy, and Michael Acton, Meta is leading efforts to weaken the EU’s AI Act implementation. The company has refused to sign the upcoming AI code of practice, with Meta’s lobbyist Joel Kaplan calling the requirements “unworkable.” The push against regulations has gained momentum after Trump’s election victory, with Vice-President JD Vance criticizing EU tech legislation during his European visit. While EU tech chief Henna Virkkunen maintains Europe’s commitment to enforce its rules, the European Commission recently withdrew its AI Liability Directive, raising concerns about potential compromises in regulatory enforcement.
