Description
Europe and the United States face a common challenge: maximizing the benefits of modern technology while minimizing its harmful effects on markets and on our mental health. With close transatlantic cooperation between the European Union and the United States, our technological future can move in a more equitable, healthy, and democratic direction.
In this panel, experts from both sides of the Atlantic discuss how the EU and U.S. can collaborate through the new trans-Atlantic Trade and Technology Council (TTC) and other multilateral forums to create an open, interoperable, and reliable digital space.
