The European Commissioner for Defence and Space, Andrius Kubilius, stated this Monday at the Forum Europa in Brussels that the European Commission is “prepared to support all possible developments” in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI), “including attracting foreign companies”.

Kubilus made this statement at a breakfast organized in the EU capital by New Economy Forum, during which he answered a question about the growing importance of Artificial Intelligence in the defense sector, and more specifically, its use in warfare.

Specifically, he was presented with the case of the US company Anthropic, one of the leading AI developers, which has been in conflict with the US Department of Defense because the firm refused to remove the ethical restrictions on its technology.

European Commissioner for Defense and Space, Andrius Kubilius, stressed this Monday at the Forum Europa in Brussels that the EU must "strengthen the resilience" of its energy systems to cope with rising prices due to unforeseen crises, such as the war in Iran.

Kubilus made this statement at a breakfast organized in the EU capital by New Economy Forum, during which he analyzed the energy consequences for the European Union of Iran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz, following the offensive launched by the US and Israel.

Kubilus was reacting to the US decision to temporarily authorize the purchase of oil from Russia, lifting sanctions imposed for the aggression against Ukraine, with the aim of combating rising prices caused by the war in Iran.

The European Commissioner for Democracy, Justice, the Rule of Law and Consumer Protection, Michael McGrath, announced this Thursday at the Forum Europa in Brussels that next month he will present the proposal for the 28th Regime to the College of Commissioners. This optional, digital European corporate framework is designed to facilitate the creation, expansion, and investment of companies throughout the Single Market.

McGrath made these remarks while participating in an information session organised by New Economy Forum in the EU capital.

The European Commissioner for Democracy, Justice, the Rule of Law and Consumer Protection, Michael McGrath, asserted this Thursday at the Forum Europa in Brussels that "strong democracies do more than protect rights" because "they foster resilient economies" and that "transparent and accountable institutions give businesses the confidence to invest and citizens the certainty to participate".

McGrath made these remarks while participating in an information session organised by the New Economy Forum in the EU capital.

The EU official argued that "in an era where the manipulation of information is increasingly used as a geopolitical weapon, and where information ecosystems isolate citizens in watertight compartments", supporting democracy means "defending the stability of our free, open, and pluralistic societies".

The European Commissioner for Democracy, Justice, the Rule of Law and Consumer Protection, Michael McGrath, stated this Thursday at the Forum Europa in Brussels that there is agreement within the EU on protecting minors online, but there is disagreement on whether to establish access controls or prohibit social media for anyone under 16, as proposed by Spanish President Pedro Sánchez and already implemented by Australia.

McGrath made this statement while speaking at the New Economy Forum briefing held in the EU capital, where he was asked about the measures that the European Commission, the European Parliament, and other institutions will take to protect minors online.
