A debate over the claim that Europe shouldn't regulate AI because it lacks the tech. The quoted side counters: countries that don't build planes still need aviation safety rules — what matters is where harm can happen, and good frameworks should enable innovation without destruction.
Critic @2Cornot2C argues that misses the point: Europe wants to exert global power through regulation, but you can't exert power without AI companies that can actually compete.
