Read through the regulations.
I see them as necessary protections against a technology that can—in the wrong hands—be an existential threat to individual liberty and democracy. The loosening of these regulations is not something I would be happy about, especially since most of the AI craze lately has been mainly focused on LLMs (questionably useful, extremely energy hungry, large scale investment incompatible with climate goals) and recommender systems.
Both of these use cases have contributed to a deep polarization of society through a barrage of fake content and the creation of echo chambers/social bubbles. Allowing further unregulated uses in areas that are, as of right now, controlled because of high risk (such as social scoring, biometric identification or cognitive behavioral manipulation), seems deeply irresponsible to me.

The title shoukd have used streamlining in stead of simplifying, as the article suggests that.." the European Union wants to streamline regulation"
Simplifying is also used as a synonymous to cut regulations, usually in favor of business, but also for disadvantaging consumer & privacy rights.
