Brussels may have found its perfect AI policymaker: the Vatican’s AI guru, who reportedly doesn’t use AI himself. In EU circles, this is less a weakness than a qualification. Direct experience can create dangerous prejudices. Better to regulate technology from a safe distance, preferably through consultations, stakeholder workshops, 600-page reports and a task force chaired by someone who has never opened ChatGPT.
The EU appears to follow the Charlie Chaplin recruitment method: find someone completely unsuited to the machinery, put him in charge of it, and call the resulting chaos governance.
“We never hire people with the right experience. That would ruin the whole business model.”
— Eni Versalis, Head Pimp at the Berlaymont Cafeteria
