Panel - interview
It can be assumed with a high degree of probability that transatlantic relations in cyber and digital affairs will determine the development and competitiveness of the Western world on a global scale in the coming decades and in particular in competition with quickly growing technological powers. The economies and societies of the 21st. century will increasingly be based on the digital solutions. Determining the rules of the game and then managing the ongoing technological cooperation between Europe and the USA in realtion to such issues as cybersecurity, big data, quantum computers, artificial intelligence, data flow speed, including 5G (and maybe 6G) technology appears to be an obvious task. Are Europe and America are really prepared and determined to undertake such cooperastion, since the European Union and the USA often clash on the issue of creating digital policy, describing their approach as either anti-American or too friendly to the techmology industry? In this particular panel we will try to find a response to a question: How to overthrow this sterotype of thinking?
