The axiom is that the EU is such an important market that it can dictate terms to the world. Such as the landmark success of persuading Apple that it may as well use USB on mobile phones.
It's not as clear that it's better to give up on artificial intelligence than to give up on Europe. When your axioms are unsound, you can derive nonsense from them. So yep, it seems Europe isn't going to be the future of machine intelligence, to the astonishment of noone.
Before I sold my previous company, a medium size ai company, it was already often an internal debate whether the EU was worth selling to for our size company.
The reality is that the EU is a much much smaller market than North America, and expensive to operate in even without onerous AI regulation.
It’s likely easier to support the EU for larger companies, but there is little doubt in my mind that this sort of regulation in the near term will ensure that Europe will always get services much later than NA, and maybe some companies will choose not to bring some products to the EU at all.
What a trade. Sacrificed the next qualitative shift in economic growth after the industrial revolution, and in return was able to force the switch of the Lightning port in one type of phone for USB-C.

So the EU exists strictly in an effort to bully the rest of the world into their continental ideas? I thought the purpose was to provide representation and protection to their own citizens.

They mistook State Authority as an end unto itself. Everything else is going to be secondary to that.
