This sounds like the worst middle ground, not simple enough for comapanies to plan around, and not strong enough to satisfy people worried about and privacy. If the rules keep changing right before enforcement, only the biggest companies will have the lawyers and compliance teams to keep up

Rules, rules and more rules, when we should be destroying the regulation and promoting our own cutting edge AI companies by making it very easy for them to flourish, instead of being left in the dust by the US and China.
Europe will become a poor continent if we can't stay at the forefront of research and technology.

AI isn’t where Europe or the world should be focusing on right now. We should instead be at the forefront of renewable energy and mitigating the effects of climate change (which AI does not help with at all - in fact, it makes it worse due to data center energy usage and pollution).

Not to mention, resources management. With some world powers gunning for conflict, consolidating what’s physical and in demand will continue to be the most valuable resource to muster, and in modern times it might not be oil and gas anymore very soon. I don’t think it will be the mass surveillance enabling and factuality eroding machine that is being touted as the second coming of the internet.

A.I. : Your best investment option at this time is Tulips. It's a growing market, and will never, ever ever collapse suddenly and send most of Europe into a 20 year long economic depression.

Well this is what the European Union does best of all, it's regulates and doesn't innovate. What will predictably happen is the EU will regulate it's self putting more barriers in place to innovation while the US and China just plow on ahead.
The EU will be left behind while growth in China and the US will continue. Just as pretty much every industry goes over the last decade or so.

The EU’s approach is that economic growth shouldn’t come at the expense of people’s rights, safety, or fair competition. Regulation isn’t automatically anti-innovation — safety standards, consumer protection, and antitrust laws can all create healthier markets instead of letting companies do whatever is most profitable. Saying “Europe regulates while others innovate” ignores that some regulation exists because unchecked industries caused real problems in the first place.

Speaking from the US AI 'plowing on' is actively destructive. The costs are being pushed into people completely uninvolved and we're seeing some nasty environmental effects as well.
