Detailed "Opinion on the European Commission’s White Paper on Artificial Intelligence" will be published soon on www.croai.org
The Croatian AI Association (CRO AI) welcomes the European Commission’s White Paper on Artificial Intelligence, released on February 19 th 2020, and its efforts to find a path for Europe to manage needed disruption while also minimising harm and doing so without losing the AI global race. We wanted to contribute to the AI legislative debate at its early stages, especially now in the context of COVID-19 and its impact on accelerated digitalisation.
Although usually tech innovation and disruption lead to regulation, Europe has opted for a more risk-aware approach, seeking to first define laws. As CRO AI we respect this approach. We also respect and understand the many debates that surround AI such as the ethical, risk and privacy aspects of the technology. However, we cannot stress enough the necessity of creating more space for entrepreneurship and innovation . That is why we are bringing to the table three measures that we believe will give Europe considerable leverage in global AI R&D:
1. AI sandbox with a Code of Conduct - to support the incubation phase of AI R&D
2. Competitive startup framework at EU level - to keep AI innovation in Europe
3. The State as the first client model - to ignite the EU’s AI ecosystem
