EU leaders hold first ever talks on AI in Dublin

European Union leaders meet in Dublin for roundtable talks on the bloc's competitiveness and economic future. They are expected to discuss artificial intelligence together for the first time in critical talks that will further guide the bloc's policy on the rapidly evolving technology.

The leaders will hear from the head of French AI darling Mistral, Arthur Mensch, as well as Nobel-prize winner and researcher Geoffrey Hinton. The EU is seeking ways to boost innovation, attract investment and strengthen its position in the global AI race, amid growing competition from the United States and China.
