AI – What is the legal and practical progress in the EU?

Despite its transformative potential, the development and adoption of AI within the EU remains limited: only 13.5% of businesses and 12.6% of SMEs – the backbone of the EU economy – are using these technologies. Adoption within government institutions is low as well (see the EU’s Apply AI Strategy).
In this free webinar, we explore key questions:
- What is the EU doing to bridge this gap?
- What are the realities on the ground in customs and trade compliance?
- Is there a practical, universal solution to help EU companies, customs authorities, and other stakeholders navigate regulatory complexity?
During the session, we will:
- Take a brief look at AI trends highlighted by the World Economic Forum
- Provide a concise overview of regulatory developments related to AI and digital trade, including AI gigafactories, digital education, and digital trade initiatives
- Focus on practical solutions for managing regulatory complexity, drawing on insights from the development of CustomsClear AI products
- Explore a potential EU-level approach to help SMEs bridge the regulatory complexity gap effectively
