As we gear up for the #AISafetySummit in November, we’re proud to be supporting a number of game-changing UK AI companies through our brand new #FutureFifty, #Upscale and #Creo cohorts. 🇬🇧 In our UK Tech in the age of AI report, we found that half of UK tech companies are using AI to improve their existing product offering. ✅ Plus, 69% of UK tech professionals said AI is having a positive impact on them personally today. 👩🏻💻 At Tech Nation, we’re on the front line of startup development in the UK, and the advancement of responsible AI is super important to us. 👍 That’s why we’re pleased to see the new AI international treaty signed into UK law, strengthening the safeguards against risks to human rights and democracy. We’re excited to see our startups thrive as they continue to advance AI responsibly, helping to boost the UK economy and bring life-changing innovation to the global stage. See you at the AI Summit!

🚀 Exciting news from the EU Commission... ...the launch of an #AI innovation package tailored for startups and SMEs! Today marks a significant step for AI in Europe. The Commission unveils measures to boost the growth of startups and SMEs, focusing on trustworthy AI that aligns with EU values and regulations. This initiative builds on the December 2023 political agreement on the EU AI Act, a pioneering law in the AI sphere. It's not just about growth; it's about nurturing AI that's reliable and ethically sound. Will the UK follow suite with something similar? Let's wait and see... #AIInnovation #EuropeanStartups #SMEs #TrustworthyAI #EUAIAct

The AI Act is now a fact. It's time to start adapting. C-suites and boards, this needs to be on your agenda. And no, you cannot outsource the compliance to anybody else, simply because AI is to intertwined with your business strategy and models. You need help? Feel free to reach out. *** I am an AI and business strategist, professional keynote speaker, and board director. I am also a K-1 fighter, metal fan, and eternal rebel.

ʙʀᴇᴀᴋɪɴɢ ɴᴇᴡꜱ: ᴀɪ ᴀᴄᴛ ᴀᴘᴘʀᴏᴠᴇᴅ ᴡɪᴛʜ ᴏᴠᴇʀᴡʜᴇʟᴍɪɴɢ ᴍᴀᴊᴏʀɪᴛʏ! 👏 Today marks a monumental step forward as lawmakers in the European Parliament have overwhelmingly approved the AI Act with an astounding 523 votes in favor, 46 against, and 49 abstentions! 🌍 But this is just the beginning... Our work is cut out for us as we strive to propel Europe to the forefront of the global AI landscape. 🦄 Did you know that currently, only 3% of the world’s AI unicorns hail from the EU? With the global AI market projected to reach a staggering $1.5 trillion by 2030, it's time to take action and bridge this gap. Here's what's next: 1️⃣ Supporting AI Act implementation 2️⃣ Finalizing harmonized standards 3️⃣ Ensuring uniform application in the EU 4️⃣ Boosting joint infrastructure projects 5️⃣ Solving the significant funding gap The journey has just begun, and I am looking forward to continuing the work ahead! 💪🇪🇺 #AI #ArtificialIntelligene #AIAct #startups #TechInnovation

🚀 Exciting News for AI Start-ups and Innovators in the EU! 🌍 🤖 The European Commission is taking a significant step forward in fostering innovation in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI), particularly for start-ups and small and medium enterprises (SMEs). The new AI package is designed to empower these businesses to develop trustworthy AI technologies that align with EU values and regulations. 🔍 Highlights of the AI Support Package: Enhanced Access to Supercomputers: AI start-ups and the broader innovation community will have privileged access to state-of-the-art supercomputing resources.
