A new podcast episode, part of the "Europe 2031" series, features a roundtable discussion among experts Daan Juijn, Stan van Baarsen, Judith Dada, Lily Stelling, Philip Fox, Alex Petropoulos, and Michiel Bakker. The podcast centers on the manifesto titled "Europe 2031: What Getting AI Wrong Means for Us," published in 2026.
During the episode, the panelists explore the potential societal, economic, and political consequences if Europe mismanages the adoption and regulation of artificial intelligence. They argue that AI is not just a technological issue but a fundamental challenge to European values, labor markets, and sovereignty. The conversation touches on the need for proactive policies to ensure AI benefits all citizens, rather than exacerbating inequalities or leaving Europe dependent on foreign tech giants.
