Robots are coming, friends. The potential of humanoid robots like Phoenix or Optimus is incredible but scary at the same time.
### 🔥 AI Regulation EU AI Act
The topic of "AI regulation" is hotly debated due to the upcoming adoption of the [EU AI Act](https://artificialintelligenceact.eu/){:target="_blank" rel="noopener"} and the recently published national AI development strategies of countries such as the UK and the US. The EU AI law is likely to come into force this year. Then the new rules will apply to all companies and start-ups providing AI models and operating in the EU market. The law could reduce the competitiveness of European companies.
