The European Union may need an agency for regulating artificial intelligence to bolster consumer trust in the technology and help realize its economic potential, a German government official said.
Justice Minister Christine Lambrecht made the comment to a European Parliament committee in Brussels on Tuesday while presenting priorities for Germany’s six-month presidency of the 27-nation EU through December. She cited “a great deal of skepticism” by consumers about data processing linked to AI.
