Lots of people are losing their shit because the EU has enacted their AI Act.
But obviously nobody has actually read it. They haven’t blocked any AI developments, they have banned governments from building mass surveillance social credit systems based on AI of the type in use in China.
eg in the EU it’s now illegal to walk around public places outting gay children with your smartphone.
Nor can you create / operate facial recognition databases via CCTV.
(I don’t live in the EU btw) 
They also have a line "prevent models from making illegal content" - illegal as defined by?
Where? 
Technically, that outlaws every generative AI in the EU
These EU laws are never enforced unless you are US monopoly enjoying defacto anti trust immunity.
How many people are in prison for using cookies? Is it none?
That is what I meant with „technically“. I am sick of laws that make you a criminal or can be interpreted in that way. Europe is missing the AI opportunity and a law that puts entrepreneurs deeper at the mercy of the state isn‘t helping.
Link?
