The project examines the EU’s efforts to create a trans-European, innovation-friendly environment through science, technology, and innovation policies that provide a model for responsible socio-technical development strategies in the age of Artificial Intelligence (AI). An interdisciplinary framework, which borrows concepts and insights from European integration theories as well as from work in Science and Technology Studies (STS), is developed to explore the impact of actors’ norms and values, identities, and material interests on the EU’s AI-related policies.
