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.

This is EXACTLY what people DON'T want.
How can you be so out of touch?
People vastly hate AI.
Where an AI datacenter is made, water is wasted, electricity prices go up.
Not to mention the awful possibility of forests being cut down for it.

Not to mention the fact that this will make computer hardware components prices go further up, don't you realize that people are struggling to get their hands on computer parts for personal use because of ai datacenter?
We should be able to afford our own hardware, not rent cloud systems that require a connection to work.
This is horrible for so many reasons.
