Europe Tightens the Noose on AI: Tech Giants in the Crosshairs
The European Union has escalated its regulatory framework for artificial intelligence, targeting general-purpose models like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. This marks the second phase of the EU's AI Act, which initially focused on banning high-risk practices such as social scoring. New requirements mandate transparency, traceability, and adherence to copyright laws, while prohibiting mass extraction of personal data.
Meta has emerged as a vocal opponent of these regulations, diverging from competitors who have adopted a more conciliatory stance. The MOVE underscores growing technological tensions between Brussels and Washington, as the EU asserts its regulatory authority over the AI landscape.
