Europe wants to become “artificial intelligence”

In response to the shock of American tariffs and aimed at attracting leading companies in artificial intelligence, Brussels is finalizing a new strategy that will be unveiled next Wednesday, AI Continental. This master plan, which is released to Politico, has three main axes: facilitating regulations, infrastructure development and upgrading workforce skills.

The European Union intends to reduce its administrative burden by reforming its artificial intelligence law and call on the industry to identify existing regulatory barriers. The move comes after widespread criticism of companies such as Openai that demand easier and more predictable rules. In a recent meeting with European authorities, Chris Lihan, OpenAI, emphasized the need to balance regulation and innovation in a recent meeting with European officials.

In the infrastructure sector, the European Union has an ambitious plan to build five “Gigabera of Artificial Intelligence” with € 5 billion, each being four times more powerful than the current superconductors. It is also planned to triple the capacity of European data centers in the next five to seven years to reduce dependence on American giants such as Amazon and Google.

The third part of the project is devoted to the development of skills. The European Union plans to teach artificial intelligence skills to 5 million European citizens by year and create a € 5 billion fund for pilot projects. The measures are taken while only 5 % of European companies use artificial intelligence technology. European officials hope to enhance Europe’s competitive position in the age of artificial intelligence by implementing this comprehensive strategy.
