A new chapter on the AI development has started in light of the discussion on the Data Strategy, the new model for the Digital Single Market, the need for an industrial policy 4.0 and the passing of the Digital Services Act.

The economic dimension and aspirations of the European digital advantage are very much linked with societal, cultural and political views of the future. We see our part in the debate by putting a spotlight on SMEs. What is the potential impact of AI on business practices across various industries and along SMEs' internal value chain? What are the barriers for adoption? What could be the best regulatory framework, the management pattern and oversight of the AI systems development?

AI is changing our world. We cannot afford not to utilize, nor do we have time to lose with regard to its development.
