Europe's Moonshot Ambitions for AI: How to do it

Four years with the European Commission’s AI strategy,  ‘AI made in Europe’, was launched as a cornerstone of Europe’s drive to strengthen Europe’s technology sovereignty.  The strategy did not achieve what we hoped, and the distance to Europe’s competitors has only increased. 

What do we do now? The Commission is looking for ideas for a “moonshot” project of scale, focus, and concentration of effort.  What does that mean?  What could it be?  And what will it take?  Will we need a concentration of talent and focused organisational infrastructure?  Would the USA have put a man on the moon without NASA? 

The event will provide a forum for important discussions with top-level representatives from some of Europe's largest AI and Robotics organisations, institutions, and think-tanks across academia, industry, and policy, on the future of European AI sovereignty. The programme includes a presentation of the current state of AI and how we got here; panels on what a moonshot project could look like and how to make this a reality, as well as plenty of networking opportunities.
