„Transatlantic tensions over tech are mounting. High-level meetings aim to prevent a destructive conflict.“ Anda Bologa discusses escalating tensions between the EU and the US over technology regulations and digital taxes, particularly in the context of AI. The US has threatened tariffs against what it sees as discriminatory European tech laws; meanwhile, Europe seeks to bolster its digital sovereignty through initiatives like InvestAI, balancing the need for regulation with the risk of stifling innovation. hashtag#TechPol
> Europe’s high-minded AI principles stand in stark contrast to both Washington’s laissez-faire approach and Beijing’s state-driven push.
I don’t think I would call Washington’s laissez-faire, it is rather oligopolistic: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot and a few others pretty much dominate the market and are very closed to the public.
On the contrary, China’s method is absolutely laissez-faire, to the point it runs in AI cannibalization issue. In the first day of release Deepseek would call itself “ChatGPT” before it fixed it. Now, I’m not saying that Deepseek *purposely* used ChatGPT to train its model, (maybe they did, but I don’t have evidence on that), but they absolutely used ChatGPT to train it, because it is impossible to avoid its content now. Billions of articles online are already written by ChatGPT, feed those articles to DeepSeek, and that’s how it happens that in the first day it called itself a different name. AI using AI content to train itself is AI cannibalization effect at its finest.
That said, China’s way of doing things balanced out the US oligopoly, it did force US companies to innovate to justify their price or disappear.
And Europe entering the race does the same thing.
Europe has tech?
