Italy and Serbia are at odds over artificial intelligence. The dispute revolves around Serbia's alignment with the European Union's AI regulations, which Italy claims could give Serbian companies an unfair advantage.
Serbia is actively working on establishing a comprehensive legal framework for AI, with a draft law expected to be finalized by mid-2025. The country aims to align its AI regulations with those of the EU, ensuring a harmonized market for AI systems.
Italy's concerns may stem from the potential impact of Serbia's AI development on their own economy. Serbia's AI ecosystem is growing rapidly, with innovative companies like Wonder Dynamics and Visaris making strides in AI research and development.
The dispute highlights the importance of international cooperation and agreement on AI regulations. As AI continues to transform industries and economies, countries must work together to establish common standards and ensure a level playing field.
