From innovation to protection: safeguarding Europe’s AI future

As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes the driving force behind Europe’s next wave of digital transformation, a new frontier of cybersecurity challenges has emerged. From data leaks to autonomous systems acting beyond their brief, the risks are evolving as rapidly as the technologies themselves.

In this edition of #CriticalThinkingLive, Dr. Kanwar Preet (K.P.) Singh Sandhu, Global Head of Strategic Initiatives at TCS Cybersecurity, joins Dharmendra Kanani, Chief Spokesperson of Friends of Europe, to explore how Europe can secure the rise of generative and agentic AI through robust governance and forward-looking cybersecurity frameworks.

With the EU AI Act and the General-Purpose AI Code of Practice setting the pace for global regulation, the conversation dives into how policymakers and enterprises can bridge the gap between compliance and operational resilience. What does ‘AI Security by Design’ really mean in practice and how can European businesses protect innovation without stifling it?

This conversation unpacks Europe’s role in shaping trustworthy, resilient and citizen-centred AI, asking: how can we harness the transformative potential of AI while keeping security, accountability and human oversight at the heart of progress?
