AI Legislation Hindering or Boosting Innovation?

AI is in everything and used for everything nowadays. And as the world adapts to this new reality, we’ve seen regulation, legislation and policy frameworks approved around the world, like the EU’s AI Act, China’s Generative AI regulation, the US’ Executive Order on AI. The goal of these is to have responsible AI development in line with each region’s situation. But with regulation, some concerns have arisen. Does AI regulation hinder or boost innovation?

In this episode we explore the answer to this question with Maximilian Strotmann, Deputy Head of the Unit for Interoperability in the European Commission’s Informatics Department, and Antonio Garcia de la Paz, Deputy Director of Data Strategy and AI at the Madrid City Council.
