As foundational technologies like generative AI, virtual worlds, and cloud computing increasingly reshape industries at an accelerated pace, policy makers are recognising the need for rapid policy responses. The aggregation of initiatives, such as the EU’s AI Act, the ongoing G7 Hiroshima process, the European Commission’s strategy on virtual worlds, and the EU Cloud Rulebook all show that there is a need for agile and globally coordinated policy making.
On February 22, CERRE hosted the “Foundational Technologies Governance Summit” in Brussels. The summit showcased three recent CERRE publications on respectively the risk-based approach and global governance of generative AI, cloud computing , and Virtual Worlds.
