OpenAI, Allied for Startups Unveil 'Hacktivate AI' Report to Boost EU's AI Adoption
OpenAI and Allied for Startups have released a report, 'Hacktivate AI', proposing 20 initiatives to accelerate AI adoption in Europe. The report, a product of a policy hackathon held in Brussels in September 2025, suggests several innovative approaches to streamline AI integration.
The 'Innovative Institutions' approach advocates for less bureaucratic processes and more experimentation rooms in administration. Meanwhile, 'Relentless Harmonisation' aims to reduce national differences in digital law implementation, strengthening the internal market. The 'Fast-Track Standards' concept encourages the swift introduction of proven international standards into European practice.
Martin Signoux, EU AI Policy Lead at OpenAI, describes the goal of 'Hacktivate AI' as bridging 'the gap between ambition and reality' in Europe's AI landscape. Several proposals focus on simplifying framework conditions and unifying regulation to reduce obstacles for AI adoption. Many recommendations align with the interests of large technology providers, such as simplified access conditions and accelerated procedures.
The 'Hacktivate AI' report, developed through a collaborative policy hackathon, offers practical ideas to enhance Europe's AI adaptation. It suggests a 'First Adoption Grace Period' for SMEs until 2030 to test AI applications before all AI Act requirements apply. OpenAI emphasizes that 'Hacktivate AI' aims to spark an open debate about AI policy in Europe.
