No. As a rule of thumb whenever the EU does something half decent it's either by necessity or accident.
Tech companies are already lobbying hard at both the European and national levels. The recent AI Act looks like it's written more by policy wonks who drank the AI industry's Kool-Aid than by actual experts in the field. On one side they want to cut funding to NGI0, one of the few genuinely good things the EU did in recent memory, which - among other things - funds Lemmy development, and costs pennies at the scale of the EU budgets. On the other they're planning to pump ungodly amounts of money into "the AI industry" - whatever the fuck that is - because they got sold on GenAI being the next big thing and they don't want to be left behind.
In EU policy for every half decent thing like the GDPR the are many ChatControls and similarly terrible ideas.
