The Transatlantic Artificial Intelligence Calculus - RAND
A new RAND Corporation report highlights strategic differences in AI development between the United States and Europe, urging closer transatlantic collaboration.
- The US and EU have fundamentally different AI strategies, with the US prioritizing speed and commercialization and the EU focusing on regulation and ethics.
- The US invests significantly more in AI R&D than the EU, creating a competitive imbalance.
- The report warns that these differences could weaken transatlantic AI leadership against China.
- RAND recommends joint research, aligned regulations, and increased data sharing to close the gap.
The RAND Corporation has published a comprehensive report titled "The Transatlantic Artificial Intelligence Calculus," examining the divergent approaches to AI development and deployment between the United States and Europe. The study underscores significant policy, investment, and strategic differences that could impact global AI leadership. It emphasizes the need for closer transatlantic collaboration to address challenges such as regulatory frameworks, research funding, and ethical considerations in AI governance.
The report analyzes how the US and EU prioritize AI differently, with the US focusing on rapid innovation and commercialization, while the EU emphasizes stringent regulations and ethical safeguards. It also highlights gaps in investment, with the US outspending the EU on AI research and development. The authors argue that these disparities could weaken the collective position of both regions in the global AI landscape, particularly against rising competition from China.
Key recommendations include fostering joint research initiatives, aligning regulatory standards, and increasing cross-border data sharing to enhance AI capabilities. The report serves as a call to action for policymakers, industry leaders, and researchers to bridge these gaps and ensure transatlantic leadership in AI.
