Why Europe has been absent from the great AI safety debate

Europe has been largely absent from the ongoing debate over artificial intelligence (AI) safety. This is significant because AI is expected to have a profound impact on the continent, with the head of the European Central Bank, Christine Lagarde, warning that Europeans may become dependent on tools developed by the US and China if they do not develop their own AI capabilities. The AI safety debate is crucial for the future of the global economy, including European markets, as it could lead to significant changes in trade and technological development.
