In the face of rapid advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), European countries must develop strategic responses to remain competitive. While Europe may not lead in the development of frontier AI systems, its skilled labor force and solid infrastructure offers a strong foundation for productive diffusion and responsible adoption of AI.

This workshop, hosted by the Austrian Central Bank in collaboration with the Complexity Science Hub and the Center of Economic Policy Research, aims to bring together research economists, policymakers, and industry leaders to explore the optimal adaptation strategies for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), assess the labor market consequences, and identify the planning and preparation needs for economic policymakers in Europe.

Join us for an engaging and insightful discussion on how to navigate the AI revolution and ensure sustainable economic growth and competitiveness in the evolving global landscape.
