To safeguard and boost Europe’s competitiveness, also vis-à-vis other global actors, prosperity, and fairness, we must take decisive action. This starts with making business easier and faster, and deepening our single market across all sectors. The competitiveness compass, as the first major initiative of the new Commission, will frame our future work building on the Draghi report.

The European Union can become a global leader in artificial intelligence (AI) and promote the development and deployment of AI solutions that benefit society and the economy. The Commission has presented the AI continent action plan to turn EU strengths, such as unparalleled talent and strong traditional industries, into AI accelerators.

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.

The International Digital Strategy for the European Union sets out the EU's vision for strengthening its international digital cooperation. The European Commission and the High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy adopted an International Digital Strategy for the European Union in June 2025. This strategy focuses on boosting European competitiveness, promoting a digital agenda focused on the security of Europe and its partners, and shaping global digital governance and standards.

The Code of Practice helps industry comply with the AI Act legal obligations on safety, transparency and copyright of general-purpose AI models. The General-Purpose AI (GPAI) Code of Practice is a voluntary tool, prepared by independent experts in a multi-stakeholder process, designed to help industry comply with the AI Act’s obligations for providers of general-purpose AI models. The code was published on July 10, 2025. It is complemented by Commission guidelines on key concepts related to general-purpose AI models. The Commission and the AI Board have confirmed that the code is an adequate voluntary tool for providers of GPAI models to demonstrate compliance with the AI Act.

These guidelines provide an overview of AI practices that are deemed unacceptable due to their potential risks to European values and fundamental rights.

A study commissioned by the European Commission highlights the significant potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to improve public sector services across the EU.

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.

The work is linked to building public algorithm registers by the Living in EU movement. The information requested in the contractual clauses should be declared in a standardised format to support interoperable and automated exchange.

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

The European AI Office is the centre of AI expertise across the EU. It plays a key role in implementing the AI Act - especially for general-purpose AI - fostering the development and use of trustworthy AI, and international cooperation.

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.

Artificial intelligence is reshaping our world by fuelling innovation, boosting efficiency and enhancing everyday life. The EU and its member states have pioneered the world's first law to address AI's potential risks while promoting its use.

As part of its digital strategy, the EU wants to regulate artificial intelligence (AI) to ensure better conditions for the development and use of this innovative technology. AI can create many benefits, such as better healthcare; safer and cleaner transport; more efficient manufacturing; and cheaper and more sustainable energy.
