The revolutionary computing tool that answers questions with alarming talent — but mixes fact with fiction — has turned artificial intelligence from a technical preoccupation into front-page news. Regulators are scrambling. G7 leaders may take up the subject at their upcoming Hiroshima summit — along with attempting to answer how to ease data flows with trust.

EU lawmakers are poised to expand the scope of artificial intelligence systems covered under an upcoming regulation. Hadrien Pouget explains why a transatlantic clash can still be avoided.

This event was hosted in partnership with the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF).
