A Fence Around Someone Else's Field

Ren: Europe made the first AI law, two years ago! Granny Ume: France's president warned they might regulate nothing. Mio: why nothing? Granny Ume: the builders are American and Chinese; no rules agreed. Rules made for face scans now meet machines acting alone. Poko: field keeps growing.

Europe's AI Act regulates a technology Europe does not build: France's president warned six months after it passed that Europe might have the best regulations in the world and regulate nothing, the rules drafted in 2021 for facial recognition were rewritten for GPT-4 and now face AI agents that act with little oversight, and the two countries that build the leading models, the United States and China, agreed on no safety protocols when their leaders met, with the US rejecting any 'globalist scheme' to control the technology.
