In a joint press release published on 29 January, three artificial intelligence organisations - European AI Forum, AI-Data-Robotics-Association and EIT Digital - urge the Commission to find a third way forward for the development of artificial intelligence (AI) in Europe.
For the EU, it is time to invest in an artificial intelligence model “reflective of European values - transparency, accountability and sustainability”, they write.
“Europe can lead with purpose not by merely catching up with the US or China, but by defining a bold, forward-looking vision for AI”.
In their view, there is a definite interest in AI models that would be in line with the values promoted by the Union and that could avoid dependence on the great powers criticised, namely China and the United States (see EUROPE 13563/11).
To achieve this, the EU must count on more private investment, a reduction in administrative burdens and an “improvement in development conditions” for the sector.
These demands have already been made by many other players, and echo the ambitions of the Commission in its European ‘Competitiveness Compass’ (see EUROPE 13568/1).
