Business News Tech AI EU takes a page from Ireland's AI playbook

The EU wants to catch up in the AI race by taking a cue from Ireland -- an early adopter of the technology which has rolled out the red carpet for data centres despite local backlash. The EU wants to ramp up its capacity and is pouring billions into so-called AI gigafactories made up of advanced AI processors and energy-efficient data centres for companies and research labs.

The EU wants to catch up in the AI race by taking a cue from Ireland -- an early adopter of the technology which has rolled out the red carpet for data centres despite local backlash. Ireland will showcase the role it bids to play in the technological revolution when it hosts an international AI summit in the capital Dublin on Wednesday. While the European Union is pushing for strong governance to limit the risks of AI growing out of control, the bloc also believes it must invest and exploit its potential to avoid falling further behind the United States and China.

"We need to stay in the race. Because this is crucial for our independence," EU chief Ursula von der Leyen said last month. Leading AI minds and executives will attend the summit including Google DeepMind chair Demis Hassabis and Microsoft President Brad Smith, as well as the EU's most senior tech officials including Henna Virkkunen. Europe will use the gathering to hammer home its pro-AI agenda. Some 20 percent of companies in the 27-country bloc used AI last year, with the adoption rate rising to 55 percent for the biggest businesses -- figures the EU wants to see increase.
