> In general there is a lot of good intentions, but there is simply no clear reason why there is a need for special regulation on AI. Everything that is forbidden to do without AI is also forbidden with AI. But EU constantly sees the need to spin new regulation

Please stop spreading FUD. Here's a good overview of the AI regulation including the reasons why it's needed: https://softwarecrisis.dev/letters/the-truth-about-the-eu-ac...

I honestly just don't see it. I can not see anyway which anything is becoming better by this immature and ridiculous regulation.

What it certainly does is put burdens on small companies, independent developers and open source projects. For no benefit whatsoever. And this is just the start.

Have you read the link I provided? What exactly do you see as immature or ridiculous?

Of course it doesn't. That's why the major AI industries are so up in arms about it: because they have to document and describe their foundational models, and make sure their data is sound: something that they definitely don't want to do.

Independent devs and open source will be fine: they already (mostly) do that.

It's GDPR all over again: the industry fights it tooth and nail because they couldn't be arsed to play nice. This time the FUD has been launched preemptively in hopes to stifle this.

This is now true for any 1 or 2 person startup. Making it completely impossible to succeed without huge amounts of capital. Congratulations on completely stifling innovation and making life a lot worse for everyone.

They are now running the legal risk of the EU commission or some national bureaucrat thinking their models training data are not representative enough or documentation insufficient. How can these things even begin to become judicial questions?
