With Artificial Intelligence (AI) and other digital technologies changing the way societies work and live, digital transformation and innovation are key dimensions of the future European economic prosperity in the current geopolitical context.
The European Union (EU) has set a global benchmark with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) guiding use of data while preserving privacy, security and ethical standards.
What are the new initiatives that will allow the EU to lead the way in grasping the opportunities of the digital revolution and artificial intelligence, and achieve technological sovereignty in some critical areas? And how will investments in disruptive research and breakthrough innovation support this ambition?
