I believe the EU should not wait for a common agreement with the US and China before regulating AI. The rapid development of AI presents immediate ethical and safety challenges that require timely and proactive regulation. Delaying action could lead to significant risks in areas such as privacy, bias, and autonomy. The EU has the opportunity to set a global standard for responsible AI use, independent of other nations.

While the EU AI Act addresses many important issues regarding the ethical use and development of artificial intelligence, the decision to repeal or modify it involves complexities that might require more insight and data than currently available. It's essential to carefully weigh the benefits and drawbacks before making such significant regulatory changes.

While I see potential benefits in collaboration for AI research, I'm hesitant to comment specifically on whether the EU should build a CERN-like institution for AI. The focus should be on ethical considerations, international collaboration, and carefully assessing the implications of such a centralized effort. It's crucial to maintain diverse research initiatives globally.
