European AI between USA and China
As artificial intelligence reshapes global economies and societies, Europe finds itself positioned between two AI powerhouses: the USA and China. While the United States drives innovation through its tech giants and venture capital, and China scales AI with state-led strategies and vast datasets, Europe seeks to carve out its own path—balancing innovation with ethical considerations, regulatory frameworks, and digital sovereignty. This panel will explore Europe’s competitive advantages, such as strong AI ethics leadership and robust industrial expertise, alongside its challenges, including fragmentation and slower commercialization. Experts from policy, academia, and industry will discuss how Europe can bridge the gap, leverage transatlantic partnerships, and assert its role as a global AI leader.
