When building a European infrastructure for artificial intelligence (AI), the Silicon Saxony microchip network is calling for a focus on European products. "Europe needs more than just AI. It also needs control over its own technology," says a statement from the network.
In April, the EU Commission presented an action plan with the aim of becoming a global leader in AI. Commission President Ursula von der Leyen had previously announced an initiative to mobilize investments amounting to 200 billion euros. The "AI Continent Action Plan" is attracting increasing interest, says Silicon Saxony Managing Director Frank Bösenberg. The investments should not bypass the European semiconductor and technology location.
