Regulation of Artificial Intelligence in the European Union

This week's episode dives deep into artificial intelligence — and how the EU is responding to this rapidly developing technology.

Host Suzanne Lynch joins listeners from Strasbourg as the European Parliament took a major step forward this week on turning the EU's sweeping legislation, the Artificial Intelligence Act, into reality. We hear directly from European Commissioner for Internal Market Thierry Breton on the origins of this act, and its aims — and he addresses the criticism that it could harm innovation.

POLITICO's Technology and Competition Editor Aoife White and Mark Scott, chief technology correspondent, put Europe's efforts to regulate AI into the broader context of European tech regulations and discuss how this affects Brussels' relations with the United States and others.

We also hear the industry's perspective from Victoria Espinel, president and CEO at BSA | The Software Alliance.
