What will decide the future of AI in Europe: ethics, bureaucracy, or competitiveness?
In this episode, I sit down with Jan Kavalírek, Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade and Government Envoy for AI in the Czech Republic, together with Pavlina Walter, to discuss:
Why Czechia was the first EU country to propose AI simplification.
How regulation can protect safety without paralysing innovation.
What Europe must do to close the gap with the US and China.
The role of startups and SMEs in building a competitive AI ecosystem.
Why AI policy directly impacts healthcare, clinical research, and patient outcomes.
