Europe may need agency for artificial intelligence, Germany says

The European Union may need an agency for regulating artificial intelligence to bolster consumer trust in the technology and help realise its economic potential, a German government official said.

Justice Minister Christine Lambrecht made the comment to a European Parliament committee in Brussels on Tuesday while presenting priorities for Germany’s six-month presidency of the 27-nation EU through December. She cited "a great deal of scepticism” by consumers about data processing linked to AI.
