I haven't read that regulation, but the way you describe it makes me immediately think of cookie banners. Everything is pretty quickly getting 'ai' in it. If the definition just narrows down to LLMs, even there we have big questions. Does speech recognition count? Whisper uses cross attn and transformer blocks to generate text. You could easily call it an LLM but I doubt anyone would use it that way. What about services that use LLMs in their back-end to monitor logs for problems. Does that count? Again, I am actually for regulations but I just don't know where to start. My best, very early and likely deeply flawed, thought is that we create enhanced punishments for crimes when an LLM is used. So a company that illegally harvests your data and processes it with an LLM would get bigger fines and penalties because LLMs were involved. That kind of thing. The idea here is that bigger tools get bigger punishments. Again, not well thought out but there may be something here.
