The EU region managed to promptly fall behind the US in semiconductors, software, PCs, Web, mobile, cloud, and it's repeating history again with AI. Except this time they're going to pre-emptively cripple themselves, making the task of US companies to dominate the field that much easier.
Walling itself off isn't going to help. Europe is going to get crushed if they don't aggressively participate. The AI outside the walls will evolve very quickly and drastically, while everything inside the walls moves at a highly regulated snail's pace. Over a short amount of time it'll put the EU at a large disadvantage, not least of all in labor/talent (which will abandon the EU even faster than it already does, to pursue the best opportunities at the highest pay).
The EU is so laughably ineffective and slow that I have no doubt OpenAi could do another 50 gpt-4 sized training runs with PII-pruned data before anything gets to court.
You already are seeing the likes of Adobe using legally-sourced imagery as a key selling point. I imagine the bigger momentum is going to come from companies who want to know what liabilities they have for using the tools.
Italy already banned ChatGPT, and Germany is considering the same. Whilst the EU itself taking a hard stance I agree will take a while, just the fact that EU member states are banning it is forcing OpenAI to take a privacy-preserving stance to prevent regulation on themselves occurring as quickly.
