There was also news about Meta withholding its AI stuff in EU.
The techbros are trying to push the narrative that all these countries with their regulations are missing out on the next revolution but IMHO they are dead wrong.
Brazil, EU etc. don't need to be exploited to own pieces of these companies and profit from the work they do in the USA. Also, we are yet to see a tech that doesn't end up in EU due to regulations. Yes, the Internet revolution happened in the USA but if you look closely it didn't happened all over the USA but in SV despite all of the states being the same low regulation environment. Also, many of the core technologies were invented in EU.
- leonidasv 2y agoExactly. Europe and Brazil didn't outlaw AI. They just outlawed opt-out use of personal data for training those models. You are still free to use opt-in or publicly available data for training. Nevertheless, Meta was using photos from users in those regions not to develop local AI technology, but to strengthen its global business. The money, know-how and innovation were going to end in Silicon Valley anyway.
