The problem is 'safety' does not mean anything any more. Its a blanket term that can now mean anything from broken skulls or chemical poisoning, to financial fraud, to Bobbies feelings are hurt because you pointed out 'a boy without a winkle is a girl.'
In anything tech related once the word 'safety' gets trotted out its take like turn stupid up to 11.
The printing press was heavily controlled early on for 'safety' that sure helped make things safe for autocrats and certain institutions like the Church. It might have helped make things safe for the King and the Pope but not so for the rights of his subjects or even the Christian faith.
AI regulation will be the same. It will make it so handful of tech oligarchs how can afford audit and compliance to decide who gets to use AI commercially and for what. Meanwhile the really dangerous people like foreign(probably domestic as well) intel agencies and criminal gangs who already have open source models will do whatever they like.
Your small business, you're getting flagged as 'AI generated content' and will have watermarks on all your ad copy and the taint for fraud when you did nothing wrong. The guy who created the fake pictures of your wife he is threatening to publish if you don't pay him, not water marks for him. Putin generating videos of $candidate doing blow of some hookers rear, no watermark for him.
This is the world the Regulators of AI are seeking to make for us. F'them!
