Europa verliert im KI-Wettbewerb
Neue Zürcher Zeitung, Meinung & Debatte, 19 March 2025, page 19. While the U.S. and China dominate AI, Europe risks missing the wave once again. Macron and von der Leyen promise billions; Lutz argues that money alone is not enough. Europe needs four shifts: more freedom to deploy (a Section-230-style liability shield for AI), easier access to training data (Japan-style), open weights for any model used in Europe, and a sovereign chip-and-policy stance between the U.S. and China.
