Only two weeks left until the webinar on European AI success! To build excitement, we’re introducing the exceptional lineup we’ve brought together for this timely discussion.
As Europe moves toward greater AI sovereignty, defining what societal success means has never been more crucial. Our panelists, representing EU institutions, civil society, and the AI industry, bring the insight needed to explore this question from multiple angles.
