A presentation by Prof. Daniel Mügge (University of Amsterdam). This event is part of the Digital Governance Research Colloquium hosted by the Centre for Digital Governance.
Two opposing forces tug at the EU AI policy. On the one hand, Brussels politicians paint the EU dependence on US AI tech as a source of concern and vulnerability. Especially given America's volatile politics, Europe must stand on its own AI feet, so the thinking. On the other hand, the EU cannot afford to cut the umbilical cord to US-developed hardware and funding if it wants its firms to keep progressing. In this presentation, Daniel Mügge unravels the distinct threads that run through the EU AI policy and options for the way forward. At the same time, he questions whether the terms of the "EU AI sovereignty vs transatlantic alliance" debate do not miss something essential: a public debate about which AI future we want in the first place.
Daniel Mügge is a Professor of Political Arithmetic at the University of Amsterdam. He leads the RegulAite project, funded by the Dutch Research Council, and co-directs the Artificial Intelligence and Politics Research Priority Area.
