Europe should invest more in AI

Europe should invest more in AI

Author: Ather Gattami November 17, 2023 Duration: 28:48

Kye Andersson, Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer at Canucci and also author of the recently published Sifted article on the technological, and especially AI gap, between the EU and the US and China. Kye argues that we have too much focus on regulations, especially on less likely scenarios, and we are making the innovation in the EU more difficult. He underlines the fact that there are more urgent topics to discuss when it comes to regulations and societal impacts, rather than the focus of making it extremely difficult to innovate in the field of AI. Kye and Ather discuss how the EU should approach AI developments and regulations, what benefits we may get in the future, and what a future society might look like.
