The original regulation doesn’t actually sound that vague. From TFA

> The regulation, proposed by the Commission in 2021, was designed to ban some AI applications like social scoring, manipulation and some instances of facial recognition. It would also designate some specific uses of AI as “high-risk,” binding developers to stricter requirements of transparency, safety and human oversight.

The issue is that as written it would still not cover general AI and that would still be legally grey.

Some of those uses in the US have already been problematic, like Madison Square Garden using computer vision to ban any lawyers from firms suing them from their vast properties, which is actually against various laws like their liquor license.

That's still focusing on the wrong problem though: if Madison Square garden had simply told security to eject the lawyer, it would be the same issue. The problem isn't facial recognition, it's that they thought they could or should do this at all.

Not entirely. ML algorithms make these processes ridiculously effective. You no longer need to expend the time of a human to make that decision.
