Regulatory Debate on AI and Digital Services in Europe
What happened
Nick Clegg called the EU's AI Act a 'dog's dinner.' Separately, Vittorio Colao stated that while regulation hinders AI in Europe, it does so in different ways. Colao defended the Digital Services Act, arguing it is a pillar of digital democracy, and noted that the EU's omnibus package has simplified some processes, though not enough.
