Opinion: Europe can lead the world in legal AI — by out-regulating everyone else

The article discusses Europe's approach to regulating artificial intelligence (AI) and how it could give the region a competitive edge in the legal AI market. The author draws a comparison to the movie "Dodgeball," where a team's ability to "dodge traffic" is seen as a precursor to their ability to "dodge a ball." Similarly, the article suggests that Europe's complex regulatory landscape for AI could become a "competitive moat" for the region's legal professionals, who are adept at navigating such regulatory environments. The article argues that while restrictive regulations may stifle creativity in most industries, they could be a boon for the legal sector, as European companies navigate the "labyrinth of rules" surrounding AI usage. The author concludes that Europe's heavy-handed approach to AI regulation could position the region as a global leader in legal AI by "out-regulating everyone else."
