Representing the European technology companies driving the digital transformation of industry and society, Orgalim is certain that artificial intelligence (AI) will be a central pillar of Europe’s future competitiveness. Although AI has been deployed safely in manufacturing for decades, the rapid pace of technological evolution in recent years has prompted questions regarding the EU legal framework. Against this background, the European Commission has initiated an evaluation of the Machinery Directive (MD) to assess whether it remains fit for purpose in addressing machinery incorporating new technologies such as AI.
