The European Commission has unveiled its AI Continent Action Plan, a comprehensive strategy designed to establish Europe as a global leader in artificial intelligence. This initiative builds upon recent regulatory, research, and infrastructure advancements, outlining a five-pillar approach to enhance AI capabilities, stimulate innovation, and promote widespread adoption throughout the continent. A key component of this plan involves significant investments in both AI and High-Performance Computing (HPC), coupled with the deployment of multiple AI factories across Europe.
The Commission intends to establish a network of AI Factories, with 13 already being deployed in conjunction with Europe’s existing supercomputing resources. These factories are strategically designed to support EU-based AI startups, established industries, and researchers in the development of advanced AI models and applications. The aim is to foster scientific collaboration around powerful and unique infrastructures, particularly in crucial sectors such as healthcare, biotechnology, industry, robotics, and scientific discovery.
Furthermore, the EU aims to establish AI Gigafactories, which are envisioned as large-scale facilities equipped with approximately 100,000 state-of-the-art AI chips – four times the capacity of current AI factories. The goal of the AI Continent Action Plan is to transform Europe's strong traditional industries and exceptional talent pool into powerful engines of AI innovation and acceleration, despite the fact that only 13.5% of companies in the EU have adopted AI so far. The initiative seeks to secure Europe's position at the forefront of the global AI landscape.
