How can we guarantee a reliable and trustworthy development of AI in Europe? That was the focus in a keynote speech Dr. Fredrik Heintz held recently in a webinar hosted by the think tank Fores.

In his speech, he presented some of his work on trustworthy artificial intelligence, and experiences from the policy-work with the High-Level Expert Group on AI.
