Doesn't seem terribly surprising to me, the existing rules make it very hard to make use of data for AI training in the EU. Other parts of the world have looser restrictions and they're developing AI like gangbusters as a result. The EU needed to either loosen up too or accept this entire sector of information tech being foreign-controlled, which would have its own major privacy and security problems.

It may surprise you to learn that I'm not actually involved in making this decision. I'm not in the EU at all so not even in a voting capacity.
