How Can Europe Stay Ahead in the AI Revolution?

As global competition in artificial intelligence (AI) intensifies, 2025 promises to become a pivotal year for the European Union. Central to this challenge is the implementation of the EU’s landmark AI Act, with key elements such as the Code of Practice for general-purpose AI (GPAI) developers set to take shape in the coming months.

In parallel, the newly-appointed European Commission and Members of the European Parliament are also determined to reverse Europe’s declining digital competitiveness. Explore these video interviews with Lama Nachman, Director of Intelligent Systems Lab at Intel, to learn how Europe can lead on AI and seize its many opportunities.

How Can Europe Truly Harness the Power of Artificial Intelligence?

What kind of concrete actions does it take for the EU to unlock the full potential of AI? Nachman highlights the need for Europe to upskill its workforce, foster innovation across industries, and educate the public on both the opportunities and risks of AI.

If There’s One Thing You Could Advise EU Lawmakers To Do Right Now, What Would It Be?

Offering advice to EU lawmakers, Nachman underlines the importance of applying the EU AI Act dynamically. That means testing and refining the AI Act in order to foster innovation, while ensuring it delivers real value and doesn’t lead to unnecessary red tape.
