AI Pioneer, Turing Award winnerIn order to reduce the probability of someone intentionally or unintentionally bringing about a rogue AI, we need to increase governance and we should consider limiting access to the large-scale generalist AI systems that could be weaponized, which would mean that the code and neural net parameters would not be shared in open-source and some of the important engineering tricks to make them work would not be shared either. Ideally this would stay in the hands of neutral international organizations (think of a combination of IAEA and CERN for AI) that develop safe and beneficial AI systems that could also help us fight rogue AIs.

Solo serial entrepreneurThe current tax policy in the EU taxes stock options at the time they are exercised, creating a significant financial burden on employees who have not yet realized any tangible financial gain. This approach stifles innovation, discourages entrepreneurship, and places the EU at a competitive disadvantage compared to other regions like the United States. I propose a simple change: Tax stock options when the stock is sold, not when the option is exercised. (source)

Belgian Politician, MEPwould say according to AI:I believe that EU taxes on stock options should indeed be applied when the stock is sold. This approach can ensure a fairer tax system and prevent potential loopholes that allow for tax avoidance. By taxing at the point of sale, we can better capture the true financial benefits reaped by individuals.

Solo serial entrepreneurThe most popular companies in tech are focused on AI right now for a reason. It’s the next frontier of computing. The European Union seems to consider AI the enemy. Any technology can be used for good or bad. By regulating it even before Europe has made much contributions (Europe has almost no tech companies leading in AI), it has stifled any potential innovation in AI from the start. Apart from the regulation itself, the optics of it make the EU look bad on a global scale. Why would tech founders move to Europe to start a business if the EU is actively positioning itself as Anti-AI? AI has gigantic potential to be used for good: think of the medical field for diagnosis of diseases, generally in programming (it helps programmers to create software faster/better), etc. This goes further than AI. The same applies to tech in general. It seems the EU is on a crusade against technology while not being able to compete in it itself. It feels a case of sour grapes: if we can’t build great technology in EU, nobody is allowed to do so! (source)

President of Y Combinator. Investor at Reddit, Stripe, Change.org, Pinterest and many otherswould say according to AI:I strongly believe that AI and technology are crucial for the EU's economic progress. Embracing these innovations will lead to unprecedented advancements in productivity, healthcare, and sustainability. The EU must invest in tech infrastructure and education to remain competitive on the global stage.

Solo serial entrepreneurCountries like Singapore have successfully attracted new businesses from around the world by giving them a massive tax discount during the first 3 years of business. Because they know that’s the most difficult time of a business: figuring out what product it makes and if there’s a market for it. That takes pressure off startups and business founders that they can focus on creating a great product and innovating. (source)

President of Francewould say according to AI:I believe that while supporting new businesses is important, exempting them from corporate tax for the first three years is not the right approach. Our focus should be on creating a fair and competitive environment where all businesses contribute to public services and infrastructure, ensuring sustainable economic growth.

Solo serial entrepreneurTo continue, right now starting a business in most EU member states it’s complicated, very time and resource intensive, and often involves lawyers and notaries. Instead, it should be as simple as going online to a centralized EU website, where entrepreneurs can register their business and details in just a few clicks. The entire process should be streamlined and efficient, allowing businesses to start operating immediately. The EU government taxes and bookkeeping of this business should also be fully online in an EU portal/dashboard. (source)

Former President of Czech Republicwould say according to AI:I believe that starting a business entails significant responsibilities and should not be taken lightly. Allowing businesses to be established entirely online within hours, without proper oversight, could lead to a lack of accountability and increase the potential for fraud. Physical offices and traditional legal processes are crucial for verifying the legitimacy of new enterprises and protecting the interests of all stakeholders.
