The AI Gigafactories call is now open.

Today, we launched a call for tenders to establish up to 7 AI Gigafactories across Europe, boosting Europe’s computing capacity and unlocking more than €30 billion in investment.

I am pleased to see Member States, industry, and the Commission coming together to build these facilities, which are key to strengthening our technological sovereignty.

This is a milestone for Europe in becoming an AI Continent.

@HennaVirkkunen

Respectfully, please don't do this.

GenAI/LLM is a technological dead end like asbestos or blockchain. It will accelerate the climate crisis, deprive communities of energy and deskill the people who use it, causing far more damage than utility. The damage will be long-lasting, people in the future will curse us for going down this path.

The money would be far better spent on other areas of data sovereignty.
