AI: Von der Leyen wants global commission

In her State of the European Union address, EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen called for the opportunities offered by so-called artificial intelligence to be exploited. Europe wants to be a „global pioneer for civil rights in the digital world“ in this area as well, she said. The AI Act, which is still being coordinated between the Commission, member states and Parliament, is a „blueprint for the whole world“, she said. Von der Leyen called for swift adoption.
