Progress is visible across all five pillars: infrastructure, data, talent, adoption and trustworthy AI.
The EU has significantly boosted its computational infrastructure. It now has 19 AI factories deployed across its world-leading supercomputers, with 13 AI Factory antennas providing regional access and AI Gigafactories coming soon. This gives more researchers and start-ups the capacity they need to build AI models.
On the data front, the Commission launched the Data Union Strategy to unlock the potential of data access and sharing across the continent. The AI Omnibus, introduced alongside it, aims to support competitiveness by giving businesses legal certainty and cutting compliance costs through simplified rules.
