Europe must do more to harness its AI ambitions

Europe's leaders are urged to step up their efforts to fully embrace artificial intelligence, with the US and China already leveraging it as a tool for state power. While these countries are aggressively advancing their AI capabilities, the European Union remains in a more contemplative phase about its own strategy. This lag could cost Europe dearly in global competitiveness and technological leadership, highlighting the urgent need for decisive action to match its ambitions with concrete initiatives.
