It tells "the rest of the world" what to do when they operate in the EU.

Which is exactly what governments are made for. AI companies do whatever they like outside the EU, and it's not the EU's concern.

That is not the ambition of the EU. Their ambition is it to create a framework how AI is handled globally. That is what they mean by "regulatory superpower".

They don't want to create laws which only effect how AI companies handle operating in the EU, they see European contribution to AI as offering a legal framework of how it should be operated and legislated worldwide.
