> Whenever something good might happen, the EU tries to regulate it to death

> The latest example being AI: we don't have any AI companies or pioneers, but the EU already started drafting regulation around it. It feels like they want to kill every economic opportunity they can.

You're looking at this one dimensionally. AI isn't just an "economic opportunity", there are actual real world things that can be impacted by it (just ask the striking actors and writers in the US). Why exactly is it a problem for there to be regulations? When Airbnb, Uber, e-scooter companies sprung up "disrupting" with no regulations covering them, they made a mess all around. I'm in favour of proactive over reactive regulations.

Not to mention, there literally is an EU startup in "AI" that got tons of money, so it's not like you can say there's only plans of regulations, there are plans of competing as well.

> As an european, the US outpaces us in every area.

Aeronautics, banking and healthcare are great counterexamples where it's not even close.
