As national and regional approaches to AI innovation and regulation diverge, Europe’s strategy is about applied, sector-specific AI rather than the foundation models. The goal? To excel by specializing in high-value applied AI where Europe already has competitive advantages.
This panel brings together innovators and both private and public sector leaders to discuss how Europe can successfully shift its focus from rules to deployment capacity—and how to identify where specialization should occur.
The conversation explores underlying challenges inherent in executing this strategic shift, from the development of public infrastructure that anchors “trustworthy AI” objectives effectively and economically to protecting regional and individual digital sovereignty—all while remaining interoperable globally.
