> Advanced Voice is rolling out globally to ChatGPT Enterprise, Edu, and Team users. Free users will get a sneak peak of it.
So regular paying users from EU are still left out in the cold.

(There is an exemption for "AI systems placed on the market strictly for medical or safety reasons, such as systems intended for therapeutical use", but Advanced Voice probably doesn't benefit from that exemption.)
So it seems to be possible to use this in a personal context.

> Therefore, the placing on the market, the putting into service, or the use of AI systems intended to be used to detect the emotional state of individuals in situations related to the workplace and education should be prohibited. That prohibition should not cover AI systems placed on the market strictly for medical or safety reasons, such as systems intended for therapeutical use.
But then I don't get the spirit of that limitation, as it should be just as applicable to TVs listening in on your conversations and trying to infer your emotions. Then again, I guess that for these cases there are other rules in place which prohibit doing this without the explicit consent of the user.

In a nutshell, this uncertainty is why firms are going to slow-roll EU rollout of AI and, for designated gatekeepers, other features. Until there is a body of litigated cases to use as reference, companies would be placing themselves on the hook for tremendous fines, not to mention the distraction of the executives.
Which, not making any value judgement here, is the point of these laws. To slow down innovation so that society, government, regulation, can digest new technologies. This is the intended effect, and the laws are working.
I use those words because I've never read any of the points in the EU AIA.
I would wager this -- OpenAI lawyers have looked that the situation. They have not been able to credibly say "yes, this is okay" and so management makes the decision to wait. Obviously, they would prefer to compete in Europe if it were a no-brainer decision.
It may be possible that the path to get to "yes, definitely" includes some amount of discussion with the relevant EU authorities and/or product modification. These things will take time.
