> would benefit from the talent pool of all EU

I get what you are saying, but one of the core benefits of the EU is the freedom of movement and residence so I don't think not having a remote work policy is disqualifying them from being an EU AI company.

I agree with the OP that it sort of is. Moving around in the EU is a lot more difficult than moving around the US, so a lot of great talent just doesn't want to.

Is it? I get that there's housing crises and cost of living is expensive in the tech hubs, but if you live in one country and want to work in the other you just... go there, sign in with the local county that you live there now, and done.

Or am I missing something?

For one thing, language…

I've worked a bit in Poland and UK (before Brexit) and all i had to do was to take a plane and fly to the target city. I do not remember having any particular difficulties, if anything finding a place to live was the hardest thing but that is an issue with moving in general (including within the country), not moving across EU.

I'm not into traveling but i'm pretty sure i can grab a plane/train/bus/whatever and go any EU city i feel like.

Living in a place is quite a bit different to travelling there.
