The received wisdom is that artificial intelligence (AI) is a competition\nbetween the US and China. In this chapter, the author will examine how the\nEuropean Union (EU) fits into that mix and what it can offer as a third way to\ngovern AI. The chapter presents this by exploring the past, present and future\nof AI governance in the EU. Section 1 serves to explore and evidence the EUs\ncoherent and comprehensive approach to AI governance. In short, the EU ensures\nand encourages ethical, trustworthy and reliable technological development.\nThis will cover a range of key documents and policy tools that lead to the most\ncrucial effort of the EU to date: to regulate AI. Section 2 maps the EUs drive\ntowards digital sovereignty through the lens of regulation and infrastructure.\nThis covers topics such as the trustworthiness of AI systems, cloud, compute\nand foreign direct investment. In Section 3, the chapter concludes by offering\nseveral considerations to achieve good AI governance in the EU.\n
