The State of Data and AI in Europe

The global artificial intelligence (AI) revolution presents exciting opportunities for European enterprises. AI and other new technologies are changing business and society today, improving customer experiences, forecasting risks, and creating new ways of working.

But as they look to embrace AI and other emerging technologies, European companies need to consider two major factors that will impact the adoption and scale of those technologies:

1. Data sovereignty laws like the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the EU Artificial Intelligence Act
2. Sustainability and energy requirements
