Europe seeks to limit use of AI in society

I'm more concerned about these two aspects of it from the reporting:

> Experts said the rules were vague and contained loopholes.

> The use of AI in the military is exempt, as are systems used by authorities in order to safeguard public security.

Sounds like it's keyed to build stagnation in public tools, but state-actor tools can go right on ahead becoming more sophisticated (and harder to understand or predict).

There are almost always these exemptions for military/law enforcement use cases in EU Directives and Regulations, because while the constituent countries in the EU have miltary and law enforcement co-operation, they would veto new legislation that impacts their independence in those areas.
