Zelenskyy in Davos calls for new approach to technological development in Europe

1 min read

European countries need a completely new approach to technology companies and technological development, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said at the World Economic Forum in Davos (Switzerland) on Tuesday, noting that the algorithms of the TikTok social network are already more powerful than the governments of some countries.

"We need a completely new, bolder approach to technology companies and technological development. If we miss the time, Europe will lose this century. Europe is currently lagging behind in the development of artificial intelligence. TikTok algorithms are already more powerful than some governments. The fate of small countries depends more on the owners of technology companies than on their laws," Zelenskyy said.

He noted that Europe is not leading the global technology race, lagging behind the United States and China. "This is not some minor issue, but it is about weakness, first technological and economic, and then political," the head of state stressed.

Zelenskyy noted that it is necessary to ensure the maximum development of technology in Europe, and that it should become the most attractive market in the world.
