The Guidelines were the result of the work of the Digital Cluster (led by ECAS) as part of the Civil Society Convention for the Future of Europe and a consultation process that involved ten different Member States. [...] The dual interconnected pillars of Digital Education and Active Participation, underscore the importance of civic education, digital competences, and education as fundamental rights in fostering inclusivity and diversity. [...] Sandra Parthie, representative of the European Economic and Social Committee’s (EESC) Section for the Single Market, Production and Consumption (INT), concluded the panel interventions by highlighting that a key part of the digital transformation is Artificial Intelligence (AI), and more specifically the ‘General purpose AI (GPAI)’, which forms the basis for many new and transformative technology. [...] Specifically, the EESC is interested in gathering input for an exploratory opinion on ‘General purpose AI: the way forward after the AI Act’, which will provide recommendations on how to implement the AI Act effectively and in an innovation-friendly way and what to do next in the field, with the ultimate aim of establishing the EU as an influential player in a mostly US/UK dominated field. [...] The opinion is due to be adopted in October and, if possible, will feed into a study that aims to map the related value chains, analysing the opportunities and risks of GPAI in the EU.
