An Ambitious Agenda or Big Words? Developing a European Approach to AI
offering potentially revolutionary solutions for commercial, civil, and military applications.
While the European Union (EU) has recently taken action as regards the AI’s disruptive
potential, it arguably lags in its funding, research, and innovation as compared to the
United States or China. Recent policy and funding initiatives at the EU level are shaping
a distinctive approach to tackle such challenges, both via increased financing opportunities
to address research and innovation gaps and through preventive governance mechanisms
for the AI’s responsible technological design and uses. The question remains whether these
actions will mitigate the European governance and funding gaps in this emerging technological
domain and foster a globally competitive European AI ecosystem.
