I certainly wouldn’t HQ an AI company in the EU, or place any significant foreign investment there. The fines for GDPR non-compliance are non-trivial. And you only know if you’re fully complying with the GDPR if you have a legal team that can navigate the ambiguous definitions. As a U.K. citizen I’m pleased that we have the opportunity to create better technical regulations that bring us closer to the innovation-friendly environment of the US

> And you only know if you’re fully complying with the GDPR if you have a legal team that can navigate the ambiguous definitions Honestly, it is incredibly easy to comply with GDPR in a "greenfield company" if you value user privacy and follow best practices. Most of the law is what I consider common sense and minimizing data collection (which I view as a sane default). It's only hard if you have already built a large enterprise two decades ago and need to apply technical and organizational measures now. (Especially when letting a 3rd party process your users' data)
