Glad to meet @OpenAI CEO @sama

AI can fuel huge progress and improve our lives.

But we must mitigate risks and build trust.

To match the speed of tech development, AI firms need to play their part.

EU will work with global partners and stakeholders towards trustworthy AI.

Italy is an important driver of the #NewEuropeanBauhaus - and an endless source of inspiration.

Today, local NEB chapters are opening all across Europe.

Including here in Venice.

Ultimately, the New European Bauhaus belongs to you. https://n.respublicae.eu/i/broadcasts/1DXxyvpyRWdKM

Venice is a world’s marvel.

But this jewel of Europe’s heritage is threatened by climate change.

We can act and preserve it. The New European Bauhaus is showing us the way.
 
This is what I’m here to discuss at @la_Biennale.
