LONDON, Sept 20 (Reuters) - The world's biggest technology companies have embarked on a final push to persuade the European Union to take a light-touch approach to regulating artificial intelligence as they seek to fend off the risk of billions of dollars in fines.

EU lawmakers in May agreed the AI Act, the world's first comprehensive set of rules governing the technology, following months of intense negotiations between different political groups.

Just from an environmental standpoint anything that reduces the expansion of AI farms is desirable.

Giving LLMs a free pass on abusing copyright and fair use rules is such a double standard. YouTubers who use a snippet of music get the earnings from their video stolen by rights trolls.

For me, the dream is every AI result coming with a citation list showing what sources were used.
