Had some time to look into it. This link (April 9) lines up better with the blurb @EUCommission posted and explains the key concepts. https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/news/ai-continent-action-plan-delivers-major-milestones.

My own thoughts, feel free to read / not read:

The AI factories honestly are not a main concern in my optics; just seems like rebranded university and business projects.
However, the AI Gigafactories they're talking about can potentially be a big environmental and societal mistake especially if the focus is LLM and not more proven (and less wasteful) ML research.
I would dearly love to see some money going into the ethics of A.I. And that's not what I see happening when I briefly scan the EU Digital Skills Academy. Using GenAI seems to be the focus.
Especially in a time when since CTO's seem convinced GAI (GAI = the idea that AI is human-like conscious) is reality or can be reality this sort of hyped-up mass hypnosis can be damaging to the fabric of European society.
Therefore I worry about the AI Omnibus: the EU links are unclear and I'm not good enough at reading legislation to interpret it.
Not all of this EU money will go to waste if it ends up at universities and improves actual digital skills and digital literacy skills.
But the ethics of AI and especially GenAI / LLM need to be addressed during this EU program to prevent us ending up on the wrong side of humanity. #EUAI #EUAiAct
