Artificial Intelligence

Understanding emerging AI policy, legislative and regulatory trends, and the broader societal debates shaping the technology’s future.

Artificial intelligence is one of the fastest-growing and most influential technologies of the past decade. Humans and machines now work together to reach new levels of productivity. However, a darker side of AI is also emerging, particularly when it is used by bad actors to influence public opinion and affect democratic processes and the rule of law.

The European Union has an ambition to become a global leader of AI. It has been a frontrunner in regulating AI with its landmark AI Act, the world’s first comprehensive framework for governing artificial intelligence. By brining AI into strategic sectors such as healthcare, education, industry, and environmental sustainability, the EU is actively pushing its AI first policy.

In this section, we explore the evolving world of artificial intelligence across the EU and its key partners, highlighting the policy, regulatory, and societal developments shaping the future of this technology.

Sectors

EU AI Act

Europe’s landmark artificial intelligence law went in effect in August 2024. The Act establishes a risk-based approach to ensure safe use of AI systems as well as their transparency and trustworthiness.

Gen AI & Copyright

AI training involves massive data analysis and requires developers of generative AI models to respect any opt-out. Explore how the EU regulatory environment affects AI firms and creators in practice, what are the emerging legal debates and potential future changes.

AI and Disinformation

Bad actors use generative AI models, such as deepfake videos or voice simulation, to produce large-scale hyper-realistic content to change the narrative and shape public perception. What measures does the EU put in place to protect democracy, combat propaganda, and ensure safety online.

Data Union Strategy

To support Europe’s ambition for leadership in AI, the EU is developing policy frameworks to supply AI with high-quality data while securing data flows to and from the EU. Businesses operating with large volumes of data need to be informed on how to store data, what is the playbook in case data is leaked, and how to protect sensitive data.

AI Infrastructure

In its efforts to win the innovation race, the EU is actively building a comprehensive AI infrastructure, ranging across AI research centers, high-performance computing facilities, data platforms, and innovation hubs, with investments exceeding €200 billion in 2025 alone. Explore policy priorities and regulatory developments impacting the future of AI in Europe.

Cybersecurity in AI

AI systems influence decisions that affect human lives, privacy, and societal trust – the technology can be used both to launch cyber-attacks and to protect citizens from being targets of such attacks. Therefore, the EU has developed a regulatory framework aimed at ensuring these systems are secure, reliable, and transparent.

The promise of AI in government is simple. A pure, un-bribable efficiency. It is a tool that can be used against human corruption. But – if an algorithm is immune to money and influence peddling, does that make it immune to the rule of law?  For example, take the case of Ukraine’s Diia.AI. It’s been launched in September this year as the world’s first national AI assistant that delivers

Imagine if artificial intelligence was no longer just a tool, but a decision-maker? In Albania, an AI tool named Diella was appointed to a ministerial role few weeks ago, with a task to make government services more efficient and transparent. This avant-garde move begs a crucial question: as AI becomes a part of our
