(Brussels Bloomberg) European Union and the United States are discussing how to work closely, coordinate foreign investment review methods, and respond to the risk of investing sensitive technologies in countries such as China.
The latest draft statement of the high -level meeting held in Lulio, Sweden next week shows that the European Union and the United States will be coordinated to prevent the capital, expertise and knowledge of European and American companies from being used to support the technological progress of strategic opponents, and threatenedTo national security.

The European Union has been striving to explore new tools and strengthen its strategy to China.The European Commission Chairman Feng Derian recently proposed a vision to reduce the Chinese risks faced by the European Union and not decompose to China, marking the subtle adjustment of European policies to make it closer to Washington's eagle position.Since then, the United States and the Seventh -way Group (G7) have also used the same wording.

The two sides also agreed to reduce the risks brought by artificial intelligence, especially the generating artificial intelligence (General AI).These tools now become the focus of people's attention by using applications such as ChatGPT that rely on artificial intelligence understanding and generating natural language skills.
In order to unify the European Union and the United States' supervision of artificial intelligence, the two sides are setting up an expert group to formulate artificial intelligence terminology to cooperate on standards and tools to monitor risks.
