I will be joining the Enabling Europe’s AI Ambitions conference taking place on 25 March. In partnership with Google and The Financial Times, this event will gather leading figures from across European institutions, industries, start-ups, NGOs, academics, trade associations, and think tanks to define how Europe should wield its rules to harness AI’s potential while protecting businesses and citizens from its risk.

This is going to be an event not to be missed.

The main discussion topics will include:

Fostering Innovation and Competitiveness
Leverage the AI Act as an enabler of innovation while ensuring technological sovereignty. Promote global collaboration, trusted data flows, and a pro-innovation regulatory framework to strengthen Europe’s competitiveness in AI.

Building Infrastructure and Mitigating Risks
Invest in AI infrastructure aligned with decarbonization goals. Address cybersecurity threats, misinformation, and data governance challenges while advancing AI capabilities for societal and industrial growth.

Empowering Workforce and Society
Prepare a skilled AI-powered workforce through digital transformation. Ensure equitable AI adoption for SMEs, start-ups, and citizens. Promote policies to democratize AI’s benefits for public services and inclusive societal progress.
