Spotlight discussion - Cementing Europe’s role in AI diplomacy: a conversation on international standards
Information
- With opening remarks by our presenting partner IBM.
- • Is Europe’s AI Act the continent’s golden opportunity to gain more digital sovereignty, or is it an obstacle?
- • Can Europe set the scene when it comes to international AI standards? Is it realistic to have global AI standards, given the variety of tech industries/services?
- • To what extent does the EU-U.S. Trade and Technology Council help in setting up common AI standards on both sides of the Atlantic? Are there any tangible implications?
- • Where do countries across the globe – and in particular China – stand in their approaches to AI? Could they come into conflict – or complement – Europe’s approach?
