Most prominent recent heads-up was BionTech who decided to start a "Strategic Partnership" with the UK government for their research. [0] https://investors.biontech.de/news-releases/news-release-det...
What is the relation between Personalized mRNA Cancer Immunotherapies and GDPR??

> Europol doesn't knock on your door when you train a model on data that doesn't meet the requirements. This is probably designed to make countries introduce laws which will hold Google/OpenAI etc. accountable for their services so they can't just shrug and say "ouppsy, it's not our fault the AI did it". Your use of “probably” is quite telling. Probably, as in, maybe not, maybe yes, who knows. As the act is phrased t…
I say probably because I'm not lawyer and that's not how EU works. People appear to be extracting drama, just like with the GDPR.

> People appear to be extracting drama
Makes sense considering that the drama influences subsequent reviews and changes.

> They just end up making their local tech entrepreneurs flee to US/UK. Really? Which startups flee due to GDPR? In my experience as a user, I now have option to download my data and know what's collected about me. I like it.
Can you give some examples of you needing to download your data? What actions did you take based on it? How often do you do it?
For anyone who is jumping to the comments to complain about how more rules from the EU is going to make innovation difficult, I highly recommend you to read the summary presentation: https://www.ceps.eu/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/AI-Presentati... Basically, as I understand it, it divides AI systems (in the broadest sense Machine Learning sense) into risk categories: unacceptable risk (prohibited), high risk, medium/o…
Not going to comment on how determining which risk category a given system falls into. > clean and correct training data If there's a country where majority of poor people have blue skin, and majority of rich people have green skin, and poorer people commit more crimes in general. Then if one of the features (explicitly defined or somehow inferred by model) of your ML model is skin color, it will correctly correlate…

Let's worry about the imaginary future in the future.

And this is connected to GDPR how exactly? Companies do these things all the time, I guess it's fun to imagine that opening offices in other countries is fleeing and that are fleeing to UK because they are having trouble processing personal data when developing drugs but I don't see why would that be the case. Fun fact: UK data protection laws are about the same as EU.
As an entrepreneur you have to deal with finances, a great product and market competition. Why on earth would you additionally put legal insecurity on top, up until in a couple of years there might be enough jurisdictional rulings putting shallow definitions in EU regulations into context? Fun fact: Why would UK miss the chance to attract tech companies and get rid of pre-Brexit laws after they went through all the u…
Because UK is not made of libertarians who were under the EU opression but all those EU laws were made with UK's contribution and input. The UK has not become the libertarian utopia and will not become the libertarian utopia inside or outside of EU because the British public at large doesn't want it. If anything, probably the Labour party will win the next elections, the libertarians are very unpopular. British are not Americans and most don't trust corporations and want government involvement in protecting them against wrongdoings.
Brexit's biggest con was that EU is some 3rd party and the British public wants something else. In reality, Brits made the EU.

The benefit actually comes from forcing companies to keep good track of the personal data. Now, the personal data is something they need to think about how to handle and store, the downloading part for me so far was about curiosity.
Who is checking for that? Can you give me an example of any public authority within the EU that has the operational excellence to even understand how BigTech is collecting and handling data? For Germany I only see Ulrich Kelber who certainly does not have the competence to even understand how BigTech is doing their things.
I wonder if all those calling ChatGPT and the like “AI” when it’s nothing of the sort regret doing so now. AI is a scary word for certain groups, while machine learning (which is what this is) isn’t. Now you have a bunch of Luddites with pitchforks looking for a witch to burn. What this act will do is severely stunt the European economy compared to the rest of the world, which will be racing ahead (as long as countri…
ChatGPT is most certainly AI: all of machine learning is a subset of the field of AI, as is much of symbolic logic and Bayesian inference. It's a massive and wide-ranging academic discipline. Maybe you're thinking of "AGI", which is a term that appeared in the late 90's to make the distinction between the expert systems of the time and machines that could think like a human?

I'm sure European startups like Plausible, Matomo, Nextcloud, which exist because of the GDPR or have gotten a huge boost from it agree with you.
None of those are truly innovative. They are basically reinventing the wheel.
