## Summary

EU leaders are meeting in Dublin for the bloc’s first summit devoted to artificial intelligence, as they seek a common approach to a fast-changing technology. The discussion matters because Europe wants to benefit from AI and compete with the United States and China while addressing risks to people, businesses and society.

European Council President Antonio Costa said leaders needed to discuss AI’s opportunities and its effects on economies and societies. Mistral chief executive Arthur Mensch and AI researcher Geoffrey Hinton are expected to speak. Estonia and Finland have called for EU arrangements to respond to serious AI incidents, while Mistral has urged Europe to keep developing the technology.
