AMA with members of European Parliament: How Should Europe Regulate AI?
Join us for a Reddit AMA with Members of the European Parliament Michael McNamara and Arba Kokalari to discuss the EU’s proposed “Digital AI Omnibus” package and what it could mean for Europe’s AI rules, innovation, and digital economy.
🗓 02/06.26
🕒 15.00 – 16.00
The “Digital AI Omnibus” is the European Commission’s proposal to simplify and streamline parts of the EU’s digital rulebook, particularly around the AI Act. The goal is to reduce unnecessary administrative burdens, improve implementation of the rules, and make it easier for companies, especially startups and SMEs, to develop and deploy AI systems in Europe, while maintaining safeguards for citizens.
