Zuckerberg and Ek jointly criticized the EU AI regulations, arguing that these complex rules hinder the development of open source AI in Europe and limit innovation and developer vitality. They called for simplification and unification of regulations, emphasizing that open source AI creates a fair competitive environment. Europe should leverage its single diverse market advantage to avoid missing out on technological development opportunities. Although the EU legislation exempts open source AI, the conditions limit its potential, and the transparency requirements for datasets have little impact on open source AI. Zuckerberg also stated that he is willing to release a value of 10 if it is safe and beneficial to the public.
