AI is too important for a tech war: AI innovation and regulation | Conflict Zone


Conflict Zone was at the ‘Berlin Global Dialogue’, where DW’s Sarah Kelly hosted a panel discussion that examines how businesses are responding to the growing fragmentation of AI around the globe. Industry leaders from healthcare, travel, and data infrastructure share how AI is transforming their sectors while governments pursue different approaches to regulation, innovation, and governance.
Joining the conversation are Matthias Berninger, EVP Public Affairs and Sustainability at Bayer; Maria Rocha, SVP Legal and Public Affairs Officer at Booking.com; and Zhijian Liu, Chairman and CEO of Xunce. Together, they explore how AI is accelerating drug discovery, reshaping travel experiences, and helping companies unlock value from enterprise data.
The panel discusses the opportunities and risks created by diverging AI strategies in Europe, the United States, China, and other markets.
