In this episode of the KickstartAI Podcast, guest hosts Nils and Ioanna dive into the EU’s landmark AI Act — and the questions it raises about the future of innovation in Europe.

Will the regulation enable safe, responsible progress, or introduce complexity, uncertainty, and a competitive disadvantage for European companies?

They explore how the Act may impact AI development in Europe and challenge efforts to build AI sovereignty. They also discuss the broader need for regulation — and what a more supportive, agile framework could look like.
