Vestager compares artificial intelligence to the industrial revolution and has called it an "extremely powerful technology". She predicts that we as a society are facing sweeping changes, not least in relation to workplaces and the labour market of the future. As Executive Vice-President of the EU Commission with responsibility for the digital area, Vestager is at the forefront of legislation to regulate the use of artificial intelligence.
Billion fines for the tech giants
As EU Commissioner for Competition, Margrethe Vestager has made headlines and front pages of the biggest news magazines worldwide because of her great work for the regulation of tech giants such as Apple, Google and Facebook – which has resulted in large fines. She has thus taken up the fight against some of the most powerful companies of the time to ensure democratic influence in the digital sphere.
