监管正在阻碍欧洲的AI发展，但并非所有规则都以相同方式起作用，维托里奥·科拉奥如是说。前沃达丰首席执行官，现任通用大西洋欧洲、中东及非洲地区副董事长科拉奥在周五于都灵的Vento之Wave活动上发表讲话。当被问及监管是否正在阻碍欧洲的AI时，他回答：“是的。”
Regulation is holding back AI in Europe, but not every rule in the same way, Vittorio Colao said. The former Vodafone chief executive, now vice chairman for Europe, the Middle East and Africa at General Atlantic, spoke on stage at Wave by Vento in Turin on Friday. Asked whether regulation is hindering AI in Europe, he answered yes.
“但方式各不相同，我们不能把所有事情都放进一个篮子里，”科拉奥说。
“But it is in different ways, and we cannot put everything in one bucket,” Colao said.
《泰晤士报》主持人兼记者伊恩·金在题为“全体董事会”的环节中采访了他。科拉奥当天还在新闻发布会的问答环节中接受了记者的提问。
Ian King, presenter and journalist at The Times, interviewed him in a session titled “The Whole Board”. Colao also spoke to reporters at a press Q&A the same day.
逐条审视：欧盟的全套方案已经简化了事务，但仍不够，科拉奥说。GDPR一直是个问题，他说。
Rule by rule The EU’s omnibus package has simplified things, but not enough, Colao said. GDPR has been a problem, he said.
在版权问题上，他站在创作者一边。知识产权和创作价值需要得到保护，他说。
On copyright, he sided with creators. Intellectual property and the value of creative work need protecting, he said.
“所以当AI公司抱怨版权法时，我说，你看，对不起，伙计们，你们想让我允许偷窃吗？”科拉奥说。
“So when AI companies complain about copyright laws, I say, you see, sorry guys, you want me to allow stealing?”Colao said.
“初衷良好，但实施过于复杂，如今我们根本无法落实，”科拉奥谈到AI法案时说。
“Good intentions, too complicated to implement, and now we are not capable of implementing it,” Colao said of the AI Act.
上个月，前Meta高级执行官尼克·克莱格称该法案是“狗吃的晚餐”。
Last month, former Meta executive Nick Clegg called the act a ‘dog’s dinner’.
科拉奥为《数字服务法案》辩护，称他所在的政府曾参与其制定。当虚假或有害内容传播时，必须有人承担责任，他说。
Colao defended the Digital Services Act, which he said his government had contributed to. Somebody must be responsible when fake or harmful content spreads, he said.
“我为那些不喜欢它的美国朋友感到抱歉，”他说。“我认为DSA是数字民主的基石。”九月时，美国曾请求欧盟法院允许其支持马斯克对一项1.2亿欧元的DSA罚款提出挑战——科技速度下的政策：技术发展速度如今已超过立法步伐，而立法需要协商，科拉奥说。星链和SpaceX已经改变了规则，他说。
“I’m sorry for my American friends who don’t like it,” he said. “I think the DSA is a pillar of digital democracy.”In September, the US asked an EU court to let it back Musk’s challenge to a €120M DSA fine on Policy at the speed of technology Technology now moves faster than lawmaking, which needs consultation, Colao said. Starlink and SpaceX have changed the rules, he said.
政策需要更快的更新周期，由有能力的人来推动，其中许多人应来自私营部门，他说。公司可能不喜欢经常变动的规则，但世界正在变化。作为部长时，他说，意大利仅用两年时间就发射了一颗卫星星座。
Policy needs a quicker cycle, run by competent people, many from the private sector, he said. Companies may dislike rules that change often, but the world is changing. As minister, he said, Italy launched a satellite constellation in two years.
欧洲不应在成员国不合作时指责“欧洲”，他说。国家政客需要在太空、国防和能源方面有更大的格局。欧洲为能源支付了过高的代价，他说。西班牙可以向法国出售能源，但法国对这种竞争感到不满，他说。
Europe should stop blaming “Europe” when member states do not cooperate, he said. National politicians need to think bigger on space, defence and energy. Europe pays too much for energy, he said. Spain can sell energy to France, but France is unhappy about the competition, he said.
哪些AI初创企业将获胜 关于AI原生初创企业能否在最大玩家面前站稳脚跟，没有统一的答案，科拉奥说。那些拥有独特方法、自己使用AI并紧贴客户的企业将表现良好。商品化的企业将举步维艰。
Which AI startups will win There is no blanket answer on whether AI-native startups can hold their own against the biggest players, Colao said. Those with a unique approach, that use AI themselves and stay close to customers will do well. Commoditised ones will struggle.
在大西洋通用，他说，团队最重要，因为不教条的团队可以转型。好公司在未来12到18个月仍能找到资金，他说。短期想法将更难融资。
At General Atlantic, he said, the team matters most, because a team that is not dogmatic can pivot. Good companies will still find capital over the next 12 to 18 months, he said. Short-term ideas will find it harder.
需要应对的四大风险 除了关于灭绝的辩论，科拉奥点出了四大AI风险：就业和社会影响、人们的判断力、财富集中和网络安全。担心就业的政客并非愚蠢，他说，他们的担忧是合理的。
Four risks to work on Beyond the debate over extinction, Colao named four AI risks: jobs and social impact, people’s judgement, wealth concentration and cybersecurity. Politicians worried about jobs are not silly, he said, and their concern is legitimate.
年轻人需要培训，以便AI增强他们自己的判断力，他说。如果财富集中，将需要讨论一些税收改革。他敦促业界在所有四个方面与政客合作。
Young people need training so AI strengthens their own judgement, he said. If wealth concentrates, some tax reform will need discussing. He urged the industry to work with politicians on all four.
