Given that Europe hosts a negligible amount of global AI R&D and tech startups, the most likely outcome is that the rest of the world will keep going what they are doing, with most R&D done in the US and China, then companies will offer EU-specific products narrowly tailored to obey the letter of the law. That’s not necessarily a good or bad thing, just the likely outcome.
