The Story

Europe stands at a crossroads

As AI reshapes industries and societies, Europe faces a defining moment. The continent that gave the world the Renaissance, the Industrial Revolution, and the foundations of modern science now confronts a new frontier—one that will determine its place in the global order for generations to come.

The question is no longer whether AI will transform Europe, but how Europe will shape AI to reflect its values: human dignity, democratic governance, and sustainable prosperity.

The Big Question

Will Europe seize this generational momentum to build AI-powered ecosystems that are prosperous, sovereign, and human-centered?
