AI investment: EU and global indicators

Kort sammanfattning 27-03-2024

Economic indicators show that the United States (US) is the front-runner for both private investment in artificial intelligence (AI) and venture capital in generative AI, followed by China. US companies are also developing most of the large languages models (LLMs) underpinning AI innovation. EU starts-up are beginning to scale up.

The Artificial Intelligence (AI) Act moved close to final adoption when the European Parliament voted in favour of the text on 13 March. It will become law after the final endorsement of the Council of the European Union, making the Union the first major world power to adopt horizontal legislation governing AI. The act defines the rules for using and selling artificial intelligence systems in the EU, and regulates general-purpose AI tools such as ChatGPT and AI-based biometric surveillance. It also ...

Since mid-November 2023, the Iran-backed Houthi militia, which controls large parts of Yemen, has attacked numerous Western commercial ships near the Bab el-Mandeb Strait in the Red Sea. In response, major shipping companies have temporarily suspended Suez transits and diverted their trade. This diversion coincides with decreasing freight in another maritime chokepoint, the Panama Canal, provoked by lowered water levels.

Mellanstatliga beslutsförfaranden

Faktablad om EU 26-03-2024

Inom den gemensamma utrikes- och säkerhetspolitiken (Gusp), liksom på flera andra områden såsom fördjupat samarbete, vissa utnämningar och ändringar av fördragen, skiljer sig beslutsförfarandet från det ordinarie lagstiftningsförfarandet. Det som främst kännetecknar dessa områden är ett starkare mellanstatligt samarbete. Utmaningen med statsskuldkrisen har gett upphov till en ökad användning av sådana beslutsmekanismer, inte minst inom ramen för den europeiska ekonomiska styrningen.
