They believe the event would help world leaders agree on a set of guiding principles aimed at the development and deployment of powerful AI.<\/p>\n<p>MEPs also urged companies and laboratories to demonstrate &#8220;a high sense of responsibility&#8221;, increase transparency and cooperate with policymakers.<\/p>\n<p>The lawmakers warned that political inaction &#8220;could widen the gap between AI development and the ability to govern it&#8221;. They called for mobilising industry, research and decision-makers in Europe and worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the EU&#8217;s AI Act has been in draft form for nearly two years. According to media reports, the document is currently being discussed by a parliamentary committee, which hopes to reach a common position by 26 April.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/telegram.org\/js\/telegram-widget.js?22\" data-telegram-post=\"forklogAI\/3979\" data-width=\"100%\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Some MEPs consider some statements in the letter to be overly panicky.
