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

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:

  1. What is the EU doing to bridge this gap?
  2. What are the realities on the ground in customs and trade compliance?
  3. 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
