Given where the top AI companies are and how much more important they are for AI than the top universities for it this is bafflingly optimistic. There’s no reason to expect Europe to be other than an also ran in AI, punching self in face antics aside. Why would anyone think Europe was relevant to AI development?
You don’t seem to be getting the point of this, Europe is not attempting to hobble ai development, but enforce its laws within its borders, if openAI can’t adhere to them, then they can’t do business there, which is a problem for them, given the European Union is the 3rd largest economy in the world.
I could be wrong, but to me this is like a government demanding that trade secrets are revealed.
If people are worried about open AI, they already have the option not to use it.
Sorry doesn't look like your are getting it. Its not about AI its about personal data. Whether AI is using this or any other program, EU citizens have a right to know and request removal of that personal data.
Open AI need to allow users to do this same as anybody else if this reveals trade secrets then so be it.
