in englischer Sprache

BMVIT is strengthening Austria as an industrial location with investments in RIT (research, innovation, technology) and thus safeguarding secure and state-of-the-art infrastructure. The national Artificial Intelligence (AI) strategy is based on the highly renowned national research expertise and the strengths of Austria’s industries. The AI strategy will steer Austria towards the future. What can politics do to lead the way to achieve responsible and positive impacts from AI in Europe? How will infrastructures such as 5G, transport and energy evolve?
