Forming Frontier Tech
Startups developing or using general purpose AI models will need to comply with transparency obligations, such as providing model documentation and ensuring copyright compliances. And while large models like OpenAI, Meta, Google, etc., will be under greater scrutiny, every application (think every startup) that uses them behind the scenes may also be at risk.
The questions:
- Is the EU missing another tech wave with AI regulation?
- Prioritising between producing startups and producing standards
- How are the new measures to assist startups with dedicated access to supercomputers (AI factories) being received by the community
- Startups may struggle to identify whether their systems fall under the high-risk category, leading to uncertainty and potential compliance issues
- Is there a risk that rival nations will poach top AI talent from the EU much easier now?
