Le Monde Informatique reports that the US, under the Trump administration, is pressuring European regulators to eliminate the codes of good practice included in the EU AI Act. These codes, which are voluntary, are designed to help AI providers comply with transparency, copyright, and risk reduction requirements. The US government and industry argue that these codes impose additional obligations such as third-party testing and full disclosure of training data, which they consider burdensome and innovation-stifling.

The European Commission maintains that the codes are essential tools for compliance. This dispute reflects broader tensions between the US preference for flexible, company-led AI risk management and the EU’s more prescriptive regulatory approach, with implications for global AI governance and transatlantic relations.
