The Developers Alliance is participating in the Pilot Project for testing the "Trustworthy AI Assessment List,” and highly encourages all developers to as well. 

The Developers Alliance has published its position on EU "Trustworthy AI” debate here.

Here are the position’s main ideas:

  • Any policy or regulatory measures should be carefully crafted and limited in scope.
  • Proposals should be evidence-based, as opposed to focused on hypotheticals.
  • As AI can be deeply technical, regulators should work alongside specialists and experts in crafting rules and guidelines.
  • Given AI’s global context, regulators should seek to accommodate both the international impact of EU regulation as well as the impact of international regulations on EU actors.
  • The EU should abstain from protectionist impulses, as they might unintentionally damage innovation and the competitiveness of European businesses.

It is still a fascinating and silly phenonemon that US corporations continue to feel invited to interfere into European affairs via Astroturf entities. One would expect players that are not a member of the constituency, to at least enter dialogue via the appropriate channels upfront.

The main issue of your intervention is as follows: We are not even talking about regulation here. A completely different perview. As is competition policy.

I agree with all the points though but it appears to me that your contribution could adress them in a more topical way. Then the process could truely benefit from these main points.
