CERRE Academic Co-Director widely quoted on Commission’s AI proposal

  • 29 April 2021

CERRE Academic Co-Director, Alexandre de Streel, who co-authored the recent CERRE report “EU liability rules for the age of Artificial Intelligence”, was interviewed on the European Commission’s plan to regulate artificial intelligence, noting that there is a difficult balance to be struck between protection and innovation.

The text “sets a relatively open framework and everything will depend on how it is interpreted,” Professor de Streel told AFP.

His comments have been featured in a number of French and English articles, including in France24 (EN), Notre temps (FR), thejournal.ie (EN), Le Figaro (FR) and the International Business Times (EN), amongst others.
