CNN – Amazon and Meta executives expressed concerns that the EU’s new AI regulation could hinder innovation by overregulating AI research and development. Yann LeCun from Meta argued that regulating AI R&D is premature and could impede progress, while Amazon’s Werner Vogels emphasized the need for balanced regulation tailored to specific AI applications to avoid stifling innovation, drawing parallels to the complexity of GDPR. Both executives support regulation but caution against measures that could limit Europe’s technological advancements.
