What to know

  • Von der Leyen pledged in her SOTEU address that the EU will help write rules for AI and shape its development trajectory.
  • MEPs and analysts express skepticism about whether Europe can meaningfully curtail or influence AI development when most leading AI developers operate outside the EU.
  • The question centers on whether EU regulatory ambitions can translate into real influence over a global technology dominated by companies based elsewhere.

“Ursula von der Leyen wants the world to believe Brussels will set the pace of the rapid AI development that is threatening to reshape economies and labour markets, as well as security infrastructures, faster than governments can respond.”
