- dkjaudyeqooe 3y agoYes we should give Google free reign so we can use their shitty "me too" models.

- Havoc 3y agoThe bulk of the people affected by the exclusion - English only - has nothing to do with regulation…
- toyg 3y agoRegulations tend to be sensible in a lot of areas, maybe you should ask yourself why someone would not want to respect them - could it possibly be that they're up to no good? And what could that be?
- fauigerzigerk 3y agoIs it possibly be that delays are a consequence of having to do extra work rather than being up to no good?
- dkjaudyeqooe 3y agoA fair argument if Google has a couple of interns working part time on it.
- PurpleRamen 3y agoTo be fair, in most cases it's just a matter of costs and time. Following regulations can be cumbersome, especially if it's for a foreign market where you have little to no personal experience. So you need to outsource to a team who has the experience and knowledge. And with a fast moving target, like AI, this is not really an option until the project is stable enough.
- AnimalMuppet 3y agoYeah, exactly. Even if you're doing perfectly fine things, compliance costs. If the revenue from Europe isn't worth it (or isn't worth it yet), well, Europe doesn't get access to whatever it is you're doing.
- toyg 3y agoEven ignoring the fact that the AI Act has not been formally approved yet (although it looks done), the forbidden activities are listed as: biometric categorisation systems that use sensitive characteristics (e.g. political, religious, philosophical beliefs, sexual orientation, race); untargeted scraping of facial images from the internet or CCTV footage to create facial recognition databases; emotion recognition in the workplace and educational institutions; social scoring based on social behaviour or personal characteristics; AI systems that manipulate human behaviour to circumvent their free will; AI used to exploit the vulnerabilities of people (due to their age, disability, social or economic situation). Is any of this so hard NOT to do...? To me it just looks like Google is being petty here.
- JumpCrisscross 3y ago> Is any of this so hard NOT to do...? Easy not to do. Difficult to probably verify with legal and compliance. In a fast-moving field, it’s reasonable to avoid the compliance tax while you and the ecosystem are aligning. Once it’s ready, a finished product can be shipped to high-cost jurisdictions.
- toyg 3y agoGoogle ships crap to Europe every other day, I find it hard to believe that they don't have quick processes for basic compliance.
- epups 3y agoMost likely they are worried about copyright and GDPR issues, not those concerning AI specifically (yet).

- throw10920 3y agoThis is a ridiculous argument. The intent of most regulations might be sensible, but claiming that the implementations are (which is the only logical way to read your comment given that that's the point that the GP is making) is subjective and highly unlikely to be true for most objective measurements.
- stavros 3y agoIs this one of those instances where people vote against their interests because they identify with the enemy? I don't know of another reason why someone wouldn't want regulation that forces companies to respect their privacy.
- Angostura 3y agoWhich regulations would you like to see repealed?
