Doesn't regulating generative AI like this just kill developers?
Every time I hear news about the government revising the AI Framework Act these days, I feel a bit frustrated. It's good that the regulatory direction is heading the European way, but there are so many ambiguous and excessive parts that are hard to actually follow in the field.
Generative AI, by its nature, is an area where training data issues can never be perfectly resolved. If all the responsibility is dumped on companies, startups will eventually be unable to develop anything at all.
Overseas companies are already moving to other countries to avoid regulations, and I'm worried that we're going to end up trapped in a poorly constructed framework here in Korea. Anyway, what does everyone else think?

Agreed. Especially startups don't even have a legal team, so if regulations like that come, development essentially stops.
I've had a similar experience. These days, even adding a single AI feature requires a legal risk review first, so development speed has been cut in half. Regulation is necessary, but it feels like they don't really understand the field.
Well, I'm not so sure about that. Has it actually been proven with real data that foreign companies are fleeing due to regulations? If anything, Europe keeps producing AI companies too. Starting by stoking a sense of crisis isn't great.
