The Spin

Narrative A

The EU's AI code represents necessary guardrails for responsible AI development. These voluntary guidelines provide much-needed transparency and copyright protections while giving companies legal certainty during the transition to binding regulations. Twenty-six major firms recognized the value of early compliance.

Narrative B

Europe's AI regulations threaten innovation and competitiveness in the global tech race. The rushed implementation timeline and legal uncertainties could stifle European AI development while imposing burdensome requirements that go beyond the original AI Act's scope.
