In the aftermath of EU countries and lawmakers reaching a provisional agreement on artificial intelligence (AI) rules, experts from both sides are convening on Tuesday to delve into the specifics, according to sources familiar with the matter.

Commencing with more than 11 scheduled technical meetings on Tuesday, government officials and lawmakers’ aides will meticulously discuss critical details. Key aspects to be addressed include defining the scope of the laws and outlining their operational mechanics, as disclosed by two reliable sources.

n the ongoing efforts to fine-tune regulations surrounding artificial intelligence (AI), experts from the European Union are engaging in detailed discussions. Scheduled discussions will shed light on the legal framework dictating governmental use of AI in biometric surveillance, copyright challenges posed by foundation models, and the regulatory approach to major AI systems like ChatGPT.

These discussions follow the European Union’s recent achievement of a political agreement after 36 hours of negotiations over three days. This milestone positions the EU as a frontrunner, poised to become the first global power to enact comprehensive laws governing the rapidly expanding AI industry.

The text agreed upon for the AI Act will now undergo the formal editing process to craft a consolidated version.

The Council and the European Parliament will then formally resolve and confirm the wording. After that, it will be published in the Official Journal, initiating the sunrise period.

Countries including France and Germany have expressed their intent to scrutinize the compromises made regarding the AI Act. This comes in the wake of earlier endorsements from companies such as France’s Mistral and Germany’s Aleph Alpha, advocating for regulations pertaining to foundation models.

The AI Act is expected to take effect in 2026.
