Background: AIDA report
The AIDA Committee started its work in September 2020. In its mandate, the Committee was tasked to explore the impact of AI on the EU economy and its different sectors, to analyse the AI approach of third countries, and to chart the road ahead. The committee held a number of hearings and debates to feed into the report. The AIDA final report is the main output of the committee, and the final version is due next spring.
Background: Delegation to Washington
The 1-4 November AIDA delegation to Washington focused on AI and the recently launched EU-US Trade and Technology Council (TTC), AI and transatlantic data flows and data sharing, as well as the state of play of the adoption of AI by the US Government and its Federal Agencies.
The delegation visit comes at a time of renewed commitment to a reinvigorated transatlantic relationship and, in the context of the TTC, recalls the need for a formal inter-parliamentary dimension for the oversight and consolidation of future TTC outcomes.
