As AI policy and innovation ecosystems rapidly evolve across Europe, enabling deeper collaboration between governments, research institutions, and industry is becoming essential to ensure AI development remains both trustworthy and impactful. How can we align strategic priorities, share best practices, and jointly build capacity to harness AI for the public good?
This panel brings together leading voices from Latvia, France, and Switzerland to explore how European actors shape an AI future rooted in societal values, ethical governance, and cross-border cooperation. The discussion will examine practical ways to strengthen Europe’s position as a global leader in human-centric AI, from regulatory frameworks to research partnerships and industrial applications. With countries increasingly active in shaping their national AI strategy and applied AI research, the conversation also highlights how smaller states can contribute meaningfully to a more cohesive, values-driven European AI agenda.
