Big companies warn lack of 'AI openness' could hit investment in Europe www.ft.com/content/aeab... (£) In this framing, 'AI openness' = "whether data protection rules allowed them to use company and client information for AI applications" #genAI #AIpolicy #techpolicy #dataprotection #openwashing

One big US bank said it used a traffic-light system to rank countries on criteria including whether their government had made AI use a priority and whether data protection rules allowed them to use company and client information for AI applications.

"We are less inclined to add headcount in countries we consider red for AI adoption," said an executive from the bank. "There are certain countries in mainland Europe that fall into that category; we consider the UK greenish," they added.
