Brussels-based Cornelia Kutterer, Head of Responsible Tech & Competition – European Government Affairs at Microsoft, gallantly joined AmCham’s latest hybrid-format Digitalization Forum while on travel from late night Seattle! Kutterer and her team focus on the impact of new technologies and regulatory frameworks that meet expectations of society and healthy competition.
Focusing upon AI threats, opportunities and future-proofed regulation, Kutterer stated that “while we firmly agree that the [European Commission’s] AI Act should articulate what regulated actors should seek to achieve, we believe it will provide a more effective framework for responsible innovation if it is less prescriptive on how they achieve them.” Through multiple sensitive AI use cases, she illustrated how a more principles-based approach – within pragmatic guardrails – would help drive clarity and innovation.
