The aim of the event organized by the European scientists and members of the European AI community was to present the joint activities in the area of AI research in Europe, as well as the emerging ecosystem of AI excellence, with an emphasis on the networks of AI centres of excellence established last September, to the general public with an interest in AI.
We aim to reassure the general public that Europe is well positioned for future success in the increasingly heated competition in AI with countries such as the USA or China. We also aim to create an opportunity for discussion around the European plans for AI and their implementation.
The European Vision for AI 2021 event was closely linked to and coordinated with an official announcement by the European Commission on new regulations and further investment into AI.
The EC AI Communication Package was released on Wednesday, 21 April 2021 closely after 1 pm on following links:
Thanks to our close cooperation with the Commission, the event represented one of the first opportunities for public discussion on the newly announced plans of the European Commission.
We were also updating the following document on media coverage on topics related to the EC AI regulation that have been recently published HERE.
