They self identify as a "regulatory superpower", the EU officials see their primary strength not in the economic and social strengths of their member states, but in the gigantic bureaucracy that they have created.
EU economies have benefited greatly from the removal of barriers between countries. The EU officials didn't see that as a sign that the strength of the EU lies in their members freedom, but as a sign that now every single issue should be regulated by EU officials.
That is why you have laughable things like the recent AI regulations. An entire continent with barely a single AI company wants to tell the rest of the world what to do. The cause is pretty clearly in the delusional minds of EU officials who genuinely believe that their regulation are worth more than the paper they are written on.
- seszett 2y ago> An entire continent with barely a single AI company wants to tell the rest of the world what to do. It tells "the rest of the world" what to do when they operate in the EU. Which is exactly what governments are made for. AI companies do whatever they like outside the EU, and it's not the EU's concern.
- constantcrying 2y agoThat is not the ambition of the EU. Their ambition is it to create a framework how AI is handled globally. That is what they mean by "regulatory superpower". They don't want to create laws which only effect how AI companies handle operating in the EU, they see European contribution to AI as offering a legal framework of how it should be operated and legislated worldwide.
