The EP intergroup on AI and Digital

An essential step for EU’s Digital Industry Policy

Eurosmart welcomes the creation of the European Parliament’s Intergroup on Artificial Intelligence and Digital. This initiative demonstrates the importance of enhancing the EU capabilities in emerging digital domains. Eurosmart is fully supportive of this MEPs’ endeavour, which aims at providing citizens with advanced secure technologies and positioning Europe at the forefront of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies.

AI will challenge many current technologies; the Digital Security industry is ready to contribute actively to provide secure and trustworthy solutions. It is a matter of security, privacy and collective autonomy for Europe. AI has been identified as one of the EU Key Enabling Technologies by the European Commission. It is expected to increase capabilities in many ICT domains (automotive, energy, digital identity, cross border management…).

Eurosmart considers that AI is definitively not a stand-alone technology and strongly encourages the European Union to take actions to leverage AI-related domains.

An EU-wide answer is urgently needed to foster the “European Digital Sovereignty” as presented by President Ursula von der Leyen.
