A week and a half ago, I was at VivaTech in Paris, where I listened to dozens of European founders complain about the EU AI regulations - not because there was something they wanted to do that they were prohibited from doing, but because the way they are written, they have no idea what they can or can't do.
They're looking at how to put servers in Norway and Iceland specifically because they can figure out what the rules are, and in the EU, they cannot.
The EU has suffered from decades of brain drain.
Every conversation about it very well demonstrates this fact.
EU digital regulations, including the AI Act, apply in EEA states, including Norway and Iceland.
