What Europe’s AI regulation moment will mean for the world

[ad_1] The European Union's AI regulation has some predicting a spate of Brussels copycats. Close, but not quite."It is the AI moment." So went the declaration from International Telecommunications Union Secretary-General Doreen Bodgan-Martin at the conclusion of a UN summit in Geneva on 7 July 2023.
