EU rules stifle AI innovation, claims Meta letter

 “Really sad that you are part of this Orwellian doublespeak. Translated to English: Mark Zuckerberg wants the right to use YOUR data and property for his own gain forever, without asking or compensating you. And by ‘you,’ I mean everyone in the world – individuals, companies, brands, countries, etc. If his reproductions end up replacing your work, that’s your problem, not his,” Maciejko responded on X.

The counterargument to the letter is that far from making life harder for AI developers, regulations such as the EU AI Act offer a firm footing for organizations to make decisions going forward. In other regions, much of this remains up in the air.

None of this should obscure the concern felt by other signatories to the letter, however. But exactly how deep this runs is hard to tell. Computerworld contacted several of the letter’s signatories, receiving only one response, from SAP.
