A new proposal for the AI Act introduces technology-oriented due diligence and compliance requirements for AI systems. It also bans some of them. In this way, it risks limiting AI systems’ innovation and migration of innovators outside of the EU. There is a better way to go to both keep innovation inside and risks to fundamental rights outside of the EU: technology-neutral and abusive practices oriented regulation of AI.
