Brussels wants to use AI to combat sanctions evasion  - 1

The European Commission (EC) wants to use artificial intelligence to counter Russian measures aimed at overcoming Western sanctions restrictions.

"Ministers considered improving coordination and information sharing to combat sanctions evasion. Our customs services could make great use of artificial intelligence systems for this purpose". This was said by European Commissioner for Economy Valdis Dombrovskis at a press conference after a scheduled meeting of EU economy ministers.

He noted that the ministers had reviewed the implementation of existing sanctions against Russia, but had not assessed their effectiveness.
