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’m afraid I can’t agree with you here. Europe is not a separate planet, isolated from the rest of the world. If we, as Europe, do not adopt and develop the most advanced solutions, we will simply lose our competitiveness - both in terms of products and the workforce.

We can already see this very clearly in the automotive industry. If we turn away from innovation, Europe risks falling into a deep economic crisis instead of strengthening its position.

@mczachurski @EUCommission @peachymist AI 1) deskills workers 2) makes access to information and knowledge harder 3) concentrates wealth within big tech. Europe would be MORE competetive without AI.

@Gargron @EUCommission @peachymist AI will undoubtedly change how we build software. In some ways it will help, in others it will harm. But this has already begun and cannot be stopped. Europe cannot simply opt out, or companies will move to Asia or the US, leaving us with rising unemployment. We must build something better: ethical, competitive AI. Europe has the talent and resources to do it. 😉

@Gargron @mczachurski @EUCommission @peachymist to further the discussion, please provide some clarity as to what AI is, or at least the definition by which you abide. Then, please elaborate on your points that Al 1) deskills workers 2) makes access to information and knowledqe harder 3) concentrates wealth within big tech. Such that any country would be MORE competetive without Al.
