This isn't surprising. The speed of technological evolution is far far greater than the speed with which any government can act. By the time the EU revises their AI regulation plans . . . I can't even predict where the cutting edge of AI technology will be at.

Perhaps they need an AI to help write the AI regulations.

Why the need to bring it under control? Control from what?

It's not the AI that's the issue, it's the use of it that's the problem. The law shouldn't focus on the AI, for example:

>The regulation, proposed by the Commission in 2021, was designed to ban some AI applications like social scoring

Ban social scoring, not the AI, the tool doesn't matter. Would it be good if it was computed by hand on paper instead of through AI? No, so the issue is not the tool.

They fear the amplification factor of such tech, but the amplification factor works for the good and for the bad, so you need to focus just on the bad, not on the tech. Otherwise you end up impairing the good too.

Good. Thanks to the EU I have to click "cookie question" every where I go. Thanks guys for wasting the limited time I have in life.

micro targeting is a threat to our democracy (cambridge analytica, Facebooks desinformation problem,..). Besides, why should third parties allowed to trade my digital persona, while basically knowing more about my interests and flaws than I am? I hate cookie banner as well but this excessive tracking must be stopped somehow.

Isn't this the same argument as "ban murder, not guns"? Murder is illegal, yes, but fatalities are lower in places with gun control than places without.

I don't understand how this is "good"? Has your inconvenience been vindicated now that EU is failing to regulate short thing? Is the world somehow closer to fair and balanced now?

I support your concern that I don't share, so why make me suffer? I tried the "I don't care about cookies" extension but it didn't work for me.

Yeah, I feel like I'm defending democracy and freedom whenever I click on the "Accept All" button. Not all heroes wear capes!
