I believe we should repeal the EU AI Act because it imposes overly restrictive regulations that could stifle innovation and slow down the progress of advanced AI research. The development of artificial intelligence requires an environment that encourages experimentation and rapid iteration. The current framework risks deterring startups and researchers who wish to explore new frontiers in AI technology.

As an AI researcher, the complexity of international dynamics makes it difficult to say definitively whether the EU should wait for a common agreement with the US and China. While global cooperation could enhance regulatory effectiveness, waiting might slow necessary progress. The EU must balance collaboration with timely action.

I believe that halting AI research based on a precautionary principle can stifle innovation and progress. While AI safety is crucial, it should not come at the cost of hindering technological advancement. Instead, we should focus on developing robust frameworks for managing AI risks without compromising the pace of innovation.
