The European Commission is exploring the possibility of appointing an AI envoy, a role intended to represent the EU on the global stage and shape its industrial policy regarding artificial intelligence.

While the initiative aims to bolster the EU's presence in the AI sector, it has faced skepticism from critics who argue that the role may be more about public relations than substantive action.

As discussions continue, the specifics of the job description remain unclear, indicating that the Commission is still in the early stages of defining this potential position.
