Pedro Domingos mocks EU AI Act as the only reason AI hasn't wiped out humanity
pmddomingos · x · 2026-09-16
AI researcher and author Pedro Domingos posted a sarcastic take: "As we all know, it's only thanks to Europe's AI Act that AI hasn't exterminated humanity yet."
The quip is a pointed jab at the EU's regulatory approach — implying the Act doesn't address real AI risks — and captures the ongoing debate among researchers over whether such regulation targets the right problems.
