> They defined an AI system as software that uses any of

I think you have genuine concerns, but no, you misunderstand.

You're not quoting the definition of an AI system. You're quoting Annex 1 (of the original draft), which defines “ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TECHNIQUES AND APPROACHES referred to in Article 3, point 1”. The definition of an AI system in said Article 3 point 1 has additional requirements.

Moreover, the news here is a revised draft has been made. You can see the revised definition in Article 3 on page 137. https://www.europarl.europa.eu/meetdocs/2014_2019/plmrep/COM...

Finally, to allay your fears, the draft legislation is proportionate: it focuses on “significant risk” and “foundation model[s]”, not every use of PyTorch.

That new definition still encompasses all software systems:

‘artificial intelligence system’ (AI system) means a machine-based system that is designed to operate with varying levels of autonomy and that can, for explicit or implicit objectives, generate outputs such as predictions, recommendations, or decisions that influence physical or virtual environments
