We have witnessed AI’s positive impact on our customers' and employees' experiences. It touches every corner of @ebay, and no other technology holds as much potential to influence every aspect of how we live, work and play.

At the same time, rapidly evolving technology like this can yield new regulations and oversight – and for good reason. We must collectively understand potential security and privacy risks for technology that can autonomously solve complex problems and guide our decision-making.

Fostering Small and Medium-Sized Enterprise (SME) digitalisation and bolstering international trade activity are cornerstones of a more cohesive Europe for SMEs. In this context, we recently published a report confirming that the eBay global marketplace is helping achieve these important goals across the EU.

Supporting structurally weak economic areas to help them catch up and provide improved standards of living across Germany remains an important priority. This includes disparities between East and West as well as the challenges of remote rural jurisdictions and areas marked by the decline of once-dominant heavy industries. However, as wealthier, and more urban hotspots attract more entrepreneurs, younger and higher skilled workers, and financial capital, it pushes against a more balanced national economy.

Recently a group of 11 small business owners and entrepreneurs from different EU countries visited Brussels. The sellers were joined by eBay’s President and CEO, Jamie Iannone, and met with representatives of the EU institutions on key legislative initiatives that could impact their businesses.
