This is the best summary I could come up with:
LONDON (AP) — Hailed as a world first, European Union artificial intelligence rules are facing a make-or-break moment as negotiators try to hammer out the final details this week — talks complicated by the sudden rise of generative AI that produces human-like work.
But the process has been bogged down by a last-minute battle over how to govern systems that underpin general purpose AI services like OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Bard chatbot.
Chaos last month at Microsoft-backed OpenAI, which built one of the most famous foundation models, GPT-4, reinforced for some European leaders the dangers of allowing a few dominant AI companies to police themselves.
“At least things are now clear” that companies like OpenAI defend their businesses and not the public interest, European Commissioner Thierry Breton told an AI conference in France days after the tumult.
Foundation models, used for a wide range of tasks, are proving the thorniest issue for EU negotiators because regulating them “goes against the logic of the entire law,” which is based on risks posed by specific uses, said Iverna McGowan, director of the Europe office at the digital rights nonprofit Center for Democracy and Technology.
Countries want an exemption so law enforcement can use it to find missing children or terrorists, but rights groups worry that will effectively create a legal basis for surveillance.

When we finally have some rules/laws that AI’s need to adhere to, then someday we also need to define what to do with AI’s that do not adhere to the laws?
Shoot them?
Delete them?
Put them in jail?
Forbid them to enter our country?
Take away their money?

Non of that is possible with FOSS AI code, if it’s out there in the web. There will only be guidelines on AI available to public and companies using AI in their products, but the rest of the more tech savvy people will be uneffected.

That is not enough. Think harder.
Today’s existing AI’s are child’s play, but it’s not going to be like that for long.
One day it will be neccessary to do something for real, when some AI is causing harm to the public (regardless if a person has intended it or not), and we need to decide what to do then.
