Open Medical Data - The European Strategy: a waste of time or due diligence?
Europe is a top AI player but is also notorious for regulation. This third episode of the Delta Dialog talks Europe’s open medical data and AI. The tech is new, so rules and policy lag. The European Health Data Space, Data Act, GDPR and new AI Act thus all demand major attention.

Small sample size problems: learning from very few training examples
Conventional wisdom often holds that huge amounts of data are necessary to train models and algorithms to make them more accurate. However, this is not always feasible. Sometimes one must figure out how to learn and do the best one can from data that are available, even if they are not ideal.

More data is better? Bias in big datasets impacts ML models
AI professor and entrepreneur Patrick Glauner takes a look at why more data is not always better, suggesting addressing biases and other underlying shortcomings is more important than simply broadening sample sizes or increasing the amount of data analyzed.

Recent developments in the AI Act and its future timeline
Due to the emergence of AI and the ever more key role it plays, lawmakers argue that there is an urgency of crafting a comprehensive regulatory framework for it. Europe seeks to pioneer this area via its AI Act, but will need inbuilt flexibility and adaptability, or it risks doing more harm than good.

Does Quantum Computing Live up to the Hype?
Quantum computing is a rapidly-emerging technology that harnesses the laws of quantum mechanics to solve problems far too complex for classical computers. It is predicted to become even faster and work out even more sophisticated scientific equations in future. Prof. Dr Patrick Glauner acknowledges the promise in quantum computing but believes far too many obstacles still remain to overcome before it takes the place of conventional computers.

The EU Has No Clear AI Strategy
The European Commission published an AI Act to create a legal framework for artificial intelligence within the European Union. Many believe the document is too broad, will lead to overregulation, and lacks a clear strategy.
