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.
