Artificial intelligence - Wissing on the regulation of AI: precision before speed
Digital Minister Volker Wissing has called for the necessary time to be taken for EU-wide regulation of artificial intelligence (AI). "Precision and international coordination take precedence over speed," said the FDP politician in Brussels ahead of a meeting with his EU counterparts. AI will have a major impact on the competitiveness of European economies.
A mistake in regulation could mean "that technology bypasses Europe, that we do not remain an innovation-friendly location and that in the end we do not master this key technology ourselves, but have to import it", said Wissing.
Regulation of artificial intelligence is currently being developed at EU level. AI usually refers to applications based on machine learning, in which software searches through data sets for matches and draws conclusions.
