Europe's world-first AI rules get final approval from lawmakers

That's pure theory. Those AI rules can't even be enforced on the ground like already strict anti-drug rules show no effects leaving the streets full of illegal drugs and junkies. There is also just no one left in an aging society and with mass influx due to open borders who could handle AI or enforce rules against negative effects. Anyway, it's an obsolete discussion ,with the reality scenario of course any sophisticated technology including AI will disappear too. There won't be any problems with AI in the future, when our first world's economies are de-industrialized, dissolved and finally disappear, becoming replaced by global south chaos, anarchy and the related 'technology' development levels. In other words, they try to rule into something that still isn't existing and also won't exist quickly enough to still get even a glimpse at before everything else is too late too.

Other banned uses include police scanning faces in public using AI-powered remote “biometric identification” systems, except for serious crimes like kidnapping or terrorism.

That'll stop unscrupulous people from doing any wrong! Well done!

The argument presented seems to be based on a pessimistic view of the future, focusing on societal challenges and potential collapse rather than the potential benefits and advancements that AI can bring. It is important to consider that while there are indeed challenges in enforcing rules and regulations, advancements in AI governance, ethics, and technology are continuously being developed to address these concerns.It is crucial to acknowledge that AI technologies have the potential to enhance various aspects of society, from healthcare and education to transportation and cybersecurity. With proper regulation, oversight, and ethical frameworks in place, AI can be harnessed for the greater good, improving efficiency, productivity, and quality of life for individuals around the world.Furthermore, the notion that sophisticated technologies like AI will simply disappear in the face of societal changes overlooks the resilience and adaptability of technology. As history has shown, technological advancements tend to evolve and persist even in changing socio-economic landscapes.While it is essential to address potential risks and challenges associated with AI implementation, it is equally important to recognize the opportunities and benefits that AI can offer when approached thoughtfully and responsibly. By fostering collaboration between stakeholders, policymakers, researchers, and industry leaders, we can work towards a future where AI contributes positively to society while mitigating any negative impacts.
