Concerning, as their lingo would say. According to the below article this will also screw over open-source developers and data scientists:

Open Source LLMs Not Exempt:

Open source foundational models are not exempt from the act. The programmers and distributors of the software have legal liability. For other forms of open source AI software, liability shifts to the group employing the software or bringing it to market.

I doubt the source and its interpretation. LAION, one major open source developer, just didnt complain about the AI Act and they would be one affected by the law.
