In an era where artificial intelligence is transforming today’s industries and societies, Europe faces a set of challenges and opportunities in fostering AI-driven societal progress. Though a capable regulator, Europe struggles in building an independent AI industry and scaling up breakthrough innovations. Thomas Ramge will present first findings of a new study on AI acceptance in Germany, providing novel insights into the public perception of AI and scenarios in which areas AI will boost social progress. The panel will discuss the conditions needed for leveraging AI innovation and the opportunities this presents for strengthening strategic autonomy in Europe, including the dependence on non-European technology and capital.
