The EU AI act is more for protecting people from being exploited by companies and institutions and having AI take the fall.

Basically what they're trying to prevent, is that you can't deny someone welfare, or an insurance claim, or a close their bank account with the justification that "computer says NO"[1]. For every such decision, a human should be at the wheel who can bring a legal fitting justification and be responsible for it.

That seems like a very reasonable stance. AI is a tool like any other, the entities with agency that use it are still people.
