Data, Independence and Bias: The EU AI landscape

Data, Independence and Bias: The EU AI landscape

Author: Ather Gattami March 11, 2025 Duration: 25:32

In this episode we chat to Niklas Silfverström, CEO of Klang.ai, about Europe's need for AI independence. We discuss data privacy risks, the Cloud Act, and AI bias, emphasizing the need for European infrastructure and language models. Niklas highlights how relying on American AI companies threatens sovereignty, and why investing in GPUs, data centers, and energy is crucial for Europe's competitive future. He also warns that without these efforts, Europe risks becoming a mere consumer of AI rather than a leader in the field.

We should note that we use Klang.ai's wonderful platform in the backend processes of AI-Podden - they make our jobs much easier.
