Europe, the AI Continent.

One year ago, we launched the AI Continent Action Plan. Since then, we have made huge strides:

✅ 19 AI factories are now live across EU countries.
✅ We established the AI Skills Academy to train experts.
✅ The AI Omnibus is cutting costs for business.
✅ We have earmarked €1 billion to support AI adoption in industry.

We are building a secure and innovative AI future for Europe.

Hi @peachymist! Artificial intelligence already plays a crucial role in our daily lives, and as AI develops, it holds even greater potential to improve the lives of EU citizens: enhancing disease prevention, reducing traffic fatalities, anticipating cyber threats, and much more. That's why we are proposing rules and actions for AI, enabling us to harness its full potential and maximise its benefits.

@EUCommission @peachymist I am a Software Developer. AI plays almost no role in my life. There are a few areas where algorithms are not the tool of choice and AI might be a solution (protein folding, translations).

Here is a list that has effects - that’s like potential but even cooler:

Desease Prevention: Tax Sugar, Ban alcohol ads

Reduce traffic fatalities: force speed limits (yeah especially for Germany where I’m from) 120-100 on highway, 30 in cities and towns

There is nothing to “harness”. This is not about “benefits”. Otherwise you wouldn’t repeat TechBros slang and DO something instead of throwing money at dubious and uncertain business models which rob tax money that could have made life’s better.
