Judith Dada, General Partner, Visionaries Club: How Europe can stay competitive in the age of AI
Description
AI is becoming one of the most important questions facing Europe, yet many leaders still underestimate both the speed and scale of the transformation.
Judith Dada is General Partner at Visionaries Club and one of the authors behind Europe 2031, a new scenario exploring how Europe could fall behind in an AI-driven world over the next five years. The solution, she believes, is for Europe to move faster, make difficult trade-offs and focus on building leverage rather than pursuing sovereignty alone.
