Euractiv reports Germany may influence EU institutions' trialogue negotiations on the proposed Artificial Intelligence Act. At the Council of the European Union's Transport, Telecommunications and Energy Council meeting Dec. 6, 2022, German Federal Minister for Digital and Transport Volker Wissing indicated "there is still room for improvement" on several aspects of the proposal despite an agreed stance among EU member states. Areas that require attention from the German perspective include biometrics, law enforcement use, AI in the workplace and classification of high-risk AI. Editor's note: The IAPP's Jedidiah Bracy, CIPP, discussed the proposal with AI Act co-rapporteur and Romanian Member of Parliament Dragoș Tudorache.
