Digitalisation Minister Christina Egelund discusses Europe's position in the global AI race
Europa is currently falling behind both the United States and China in the global artificial intelligence race, despite a strong political desire within the region to maintain control over digital solutions and offerings.
Danish Digitalisation Minister Christina Egelund acknowledges that Europe is lagging behind in this technological competition. However, she argues that the true quality of artificial intelligence should not be measured by speed or market dominance alone.
Instead, Egelund believes that artificial intelligence quality must also be evaluated based on transparency, as well as respect for human rights and democracy. She defines these crucial elements as core European values that should shape the development of the technology.
