Can the European Union create a coalition to build a competitive tech sector?
In today’s episode of Brussels Beat Javier Espinoza sits down with Member of European Parliament Eva Maydell to discuss the E.U. and European Commission’s efforts to implement simplification in the tech sector.
In this conversation they talk about:
- The political divisions that need to be overcome for the European Parliament to create a stronger regulatory environment.
- The E.U.’s efforts to make the European tech industry more competitive with the United States’ and China’s.
- Why Maydell is skeptical of a global artificial intelligence arms race, and the need to create an A.I. framework that gives the E.U. a competitive edge.
