This Communication outlines a set of bold actions to achieve that goal. AI has just begun to be adopted in the key sectors of our economy, helping to tackle some of the most pressing challenges of our times. While the full impact of this transformational shift is still unfolding, Europe must act with ambition, speed and foresight to shape the future of AI in a way that enhances our competitiveness, safeguards and advances our democratic values and protects our cultural diversity. A trustworthy and human centric AI is both pivotal for economic growth and crucial for preserving the fundamental rights and principles that underpin our societies. Swift policy action is of highest priority.
