The EU's mission: Harness data and AI to solve global challenges

Data is the driving force behind innovation, particularly in Artificial Intelligence. But there are many different sorts of data – from commercial data, to personal data, big open source public data, to metadata – and how it is mined, managed and made useful has a huge impact on how successful the resulting AI programs will be. Getting access to the various types of data is a challenge that could potentially be overcome by EU guidelines. But at the same time, data flows freely globally and Europe cannot afford to become a walled garden.

In the new episode of the EPP Group podcast, Jennifer Baker talks to MEPs Eva Maydell, Angelika Niebler and Christian Ehler about the challenges and potential solutions.
