🌐 Meta and Spotify bosses jointly call for: EU AI regulatory framework, don't hinder innovation!
📢 Mark Zuckerberg and Danny Ek, two big names in the technology industry, spoke bluntly in a recent joint statement, saying that the EU's current "fragmented regulatory structure" is stifling AI innovation and hindering the development of companies in the region to use artificial intelligence technology.
🤔 They pointed out that the problem now is that there are no clear rules telling companies in Europe how to do AI. The result is that various regulations overlap and the enforcement is also uneven, which is a headache.
🚀 The two founders warned that if changes are not made quickly, the EU may fall behind in the global competition in AI.
💡 They also mentioned that open source AI may be an opportunity for Europe. The public availability of such models and tools can promote the democratization of technology and avoid the concentration of power in a few large companies.
🌟 At the same time, they also believe that many of the next generation of ideas and startups will be built on open source AI. In this way, developers can use the latest technology at a low cost, and institutions have more control over their own data.
👍 For example, Meta and Spotify themselves are beneficiaries of this model. Meta open-sourced its Llama large language model, and Spotify has also used AI early on.
🔒 However, European regulation is a bit too cautious now, and complex rules may make people miss opportunities. For example, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) was originally intended to coordinate the use and flow of data, but now the uncertainty of regulators has hindered the development and application of AI technology.
🔄 Therefore, the two CEOs called for change, hoping that the EU can introduce clearer and more consistent policies, which will not only promote the development of open source AI, but also support European developers.
👇 What do you think about this? Does the EU's AI regulation really hinder innovation? How should it be changed?
