On 18 February, Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs Commissioner Elżbieta Bieńkowska participated in the Competitiveness Council sessions on the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on European industry and progress made on the development of national AI strategies, which should be in place by mid-2019.

The Council will adopt conclusions on the Co-ordinated Plan to boost AI, presented by the Commission in December 2018 and prepared together with the Member States. The discussion builds on the European Council meeting from 13-14 December 2018 where EU leaders agreed on the need for the Single Market to evolve so that it fully embraces the digital transformation.

In spring, the independent expert group on artificial intelligence will present ethics guidelines for trustworthy AI and their policy and investment recommendations on how to strengthen Europe's competitiveness in AI. Research, Science and Innovation Commissioner Carlos Moedas, will participate in today's (19 February) discussion on the next EU programme for research and innovation, Horizon Europe.
