EU AI Act: The Gentle Stranglehold of Bureaucracy

On August 1st, 2025, the EU AI Act came fully into force – Europe’s response to the rapid development of artificial intelligence. The EU celebrates itself as the “first continent with comprehensive AI regulation.” But behind the headlines lurks a bureaucratic monster that stifles innovation while ignoring the real problems.


🎭 The Grand Show: What the EU AI Act Promises

The Official Narrative:

  • “Protection of fundamental rights” through AI regulation
  • “Promotion of trustworthy AI” in Europe
  • “Global leadership” in ethical technology
  • “Balance between innovation and safety”

The Reality:

695 pages of bureaucracy with no concrete benefit for citizens. A rulebook that handicaps European companies while US tech giants and Chinese AI systems dominate the market unhindered.
