AI, prosperity and icebreakers -- charting a course for Europe

Earlier this week, I attended the 3rd Tallinn Digital Summit - a gathering of leaders from policy, academia and business to look at the challenges and opportunities technology like AI offers for digital governance. Estonia is a great example of a country where leaders work to ensure technology benefits businesses and citizens by being proactive, but not overbearing. The Estonian Prime Minister Jüri Ratas touched on the importance of this balance in his keynote. While not every nation is as progressive as Estonia, one thing became very clear: Artificial intelligence is not a future concept, it is here already, fundamentally reshaping the products and processes of organizations and businesses. This was a key theme of the talk I gave too, emphasizing that AI is here and we need to make choices in accordance to the societies we want to live in.
