Digital technology is changing people’s lives. The EU’s digital strategy aims to make this transformation work for people and businesses, while helping to achieve its target of a climate-neutral Europe by 2050. The Commission is determined to make this Europe's “Digital Decade”. Europe must now strengthen its digital sovereignty and set standards, rather than following those of others – with a clear focus on data, technology, and infrastructure.

The EU’s approach to artificial intelligence centers on excellence and trust, aiming to boost research and industrial capacity while ensuring safety and fundamental rights.

AI Watch monitors industrial, technological and research capacity, policy initiatives in the Member States, uptake and technical developments of Artificial Intelligence and its impact in the economy, society and public services. It provides a number of analyses necessary to monitor and facilitate the implementation of the European Strategy for AI.

In the European, human-centric approach, artificial intelligence (AI) is considered a tool operating in the service of humanity and of the public good, aiming to increase individual and collective well-being. People will only be able to confidently and fully reap the benefits of a technology that they can trust: therefore, AI’s trustworthiness must be ensured.

This forum is an initiative of the European Commission to establish an open policy dialogue on Artificial Intelligence (AI).

The European Commission appointed a group of experts to provide advice on its artificial intelligence strategy. During the first year of its mandate, the high-level expert group on artificial intelligence (AI HLEG) worked on four main deliverables: (i) Ethics Guidelines for Trustworthy AI; (ii) Policy and Investment Recommendations for Trustworthy AI; (iii) The final Assessment List for Trustworthy AI (ALTAI); and (iv) Sectoral Considerations on the Policy and Investment Recommendations.

The international outreach for human-centric artificial intelligence initiative will help promote the EU’s vision on sustainable and trustworthy AI.

The EU-US TTC Joint Roadmap aims to advance shared terminologies and taxonomies, but also to inform our approaches to AI risk management and trustworthy AI on both sides of the Atlantic.
