The European Commission released its long anticipated white paper on Artificial intelligence in February this year, before Covid-19 caused the shuttering of much of Europe’s economy. The White Paper carries as its subtitle – “A European approach to excellent and trust”, and sought to create a synthesis between trust and ethics, the skills agenda, a focus on where Europe can lead with impact, while providing a regulatory framework that remains flexible as technology develops.
This Qualcomm and Forum Europe Tech Policy Talk will seek to re-energise the discussion on Europe’s AI journey and reflect on lessons learned to date on our relationship with and use of technology through the pandemic, and how this might inform the future approach.

Lively discussion on the conditions needed to advance the digital transition in Europe. We have what it takes in order to become a digital leader, but it is high time to step up our game.
When we speak about AI we should not only focus on the ethical requirements but also on the disruptive effects it has on any industry. We need agile policymaking, which enables innovation, data access & cooperation across sectors, so we reap the benefits of technology.
Thanks for the invitation and for this very well organised tech policy talk!
