Apple and Meta Opt Out of Joining EU's AI Regulatory Initiative

The European Commission has secured over a hundred signatures from companies signing up to the EU Artificial Intelligence Pact, which asks companies to ensure that AI is safe and produced responsibly. However, major names in AI, Apple and Meta, are not included in the list of companies taking part in the pact. While Apple has yet to comment on its absence, Meta stated it isn't ruling out joining the AI Pact at a later stage.
