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'd like Europe to be the AI-free continent.

@Gargron @EUCommission @peachymist I think it’s important to differentiate between Generative AI (ChatGPT et all) and machine learning (ML) AI. ML can help automate and optimise loads of tasks across industries, and Europe should be on the edge of this instead of eating whatever the US spits out.

It makes sense to invest, and it makes sense to explore.

@kevin @Gargron @EUCommission @peachymist you are too hopeful, all the investments mentioned in the OP link are for GenAI. That AI skills academy? Aims for GenAI degrees, those investments? GenAI https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/policies/genai4eu
The action plan? AI Factories for genAI https://ec.europa.eu/newsroom/dae/redirection/document/114523

GenAI4EU: Funding opportunities to boost Generative AI “made in Europe”

The European Commission has launched a first wave of EU funding opportunities to integrate generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Europe’s strategic sectors, and keep their competitive edge.
