European Regulations Strangle AI Innovation, Says Dutch Software Firm CEO
Bird, a prominent Dutch tech startup, plans to move most of its operations out of Europe due to restrictive regulations and difficulties in hiring skilled technology workers. The company's CEO cited the need for an "environment we need to innovate in an AI-first era of technology" as the reason for leaving. By moving its operations abroad, Bird aims to escape regulatory hurdles that limit innovation in the rapidly advancing field of artificial intelligence.
