STOCKHOLM — Europe is at risk of becoming a “museum” if it doesn’t soften strict curbs on artificial intelligence technologies and deregulate, Sweden’s Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson said Thursday.
“I think we really need to step up in Europe … the American economy, Chinese economy have been growing far faster compared to the European economies over the last 20 years,” the premier told attendees of the Techarena event in Stockholm.
“If we don’t change that, Europe will actually become some kind of a museum compared to other parts of the world,” he added.
