Background

The extent to which we embrace AI is likely to determine the EU’s future economic development. More than five years ago, the European Commission adopted a coordinated plan with the member states to scale up investment in AI and adapt the regulatory environment. The Parliament adopted the EU AI Act in March 2024. In their special report, the auditors called on the EU to pick up the pace, as stronger governance and greater, more focused investment are essential going forward.
