Nah, the GDPR has pushed a lot of good principles directly into business decisions. It's not perfect , sure, but the mentality has changed also because of the GDPR. Compliance has zero cost, if you avoid certain decisions. AI act? We'll see. There are other regulations that are far more costly and designed for big companies with fat legal departments.

As for EU research projects, I agree with most that has been said, but there are some very good exceptions. The problem with EU research programmes is that they offer often too research and little businesses opportunities.
