Important conversation on AI with @BillGates and digital CEOs.
We have to strike the right balance.
Between the huge potential AI holds for our industry, healthcare, innovation and so much more.
And its regulation, ensuring trustworthiness and our cyber security.
This is why Europe has the AI Act - for innovation under human control.
And we will continue our global engagement on better coordination and common standards.
To manage the rapid development of AI in the interest of humanity.
