At the recent Web Summit in Lisbon, a record-breaking 72,000 attendees from over 150 countries gathered to discuss the future of technology.
Unsurprisingly, the transformative potential of AI took center stage, with much focus on the first-ever legal framework on AI - the EU's AI Act - which came into force in August this year. So just what are the real concerns, and potential benefits of AI and how are organizations and individual countries setting out to address them?
In this special edition of The Agenda, Li Jianhua sits down with Gabriele Mazzini, the team leader behind the AI act at the European Commission; Fernando Alexandre, Portugal's Minister of Education, Science and Innovation; and Jelena Begović, Serbia's Minister of Science, Technological Development and Innovation.
