In this fourth episode of the CEPS Tech Podcast series on AI, we will take a look at the rapid advancements in generative AI that have continuously shaken the AI landscape over the past years. We will explore the consequences of such developments. What are the barriers to European innovation in AI? In the absence of new scientific breakthroughs, will Generative AI ever be trustworthy? We talk of the existing lack of investment in European tech companies. How Generative AI does not tick any of the trustworthiness boxes as defined by the High-Level Expert Group on AI. And does Europe need a “CERN for AI” to propel scientific research, innovation and growth?
Our host, Tom Parker, is joined once again by co-host Andrea Renda, Director of Research at CEPS and a leading expert in AI governance and policy, and Robert Praas, data scientist at CEPS with extensive research on generative AI. Together, they engage with two distinguished guests: Dorothy Chou, Director of Policy & Public Engagement at Google DeepMind, who shares her insights on AI investment, policy, and Europe’s competitive positioning. And Sabine Demey, Director of the Flanders AI Research Program, who provides valuable perspectives on European AI research collaboration and sectoral innovation.
