Every regulation should include generous thresholds for small businesses. Sacrificing this innovative potential is far too costly for an economy.

Enablement over Regulation. It's unclear whether with the EU AI Act you're even safe reselling a CustomGPT or a fine-tuned OpenAI model. It may be well thought out, but the signal it sends out kills the already weak spirit of innovation. I don't want to imagine my future like this.
