Europe, the AI Continent.
One year ago, we launched the AI Continent Action Plan. Since then, we have made huge strides:
✅ 19 AI factories are now live across EU countries.
✅ We established the AI Skills Academy to train experts.
✅ The AI Omnibus is cutting costs for business.
✅ We have earmarked €1 billion to support AI adoption in industry.
We are building a secure and innovative AI future for Europe.

You could disregard this as Mastodon bias, but keep in mind that the biggest bias on Mastodon is that people who understand and built core parts of the information technology that you use every day are massively over represented. This is probably the only place you will get a lot of replies from people who both understand technology and do not have a financial incentive to hype things to get large amounts of government funding.
EDIT: I should add, I used machine learning during my PhD and there are a lot of problems for which it is a really good fit. But, in the current climate, it’s generally safe to interpret ‘AI’ as meaning ‘machine learning applied to a problem where machine learning is the wrong solution’. It isn’t a technology, it’s a branding term, and it’s a branding term used almost exclusively for things that have no

This.
The exact same happened with cryptocurrency
It's fun to mess around from a software perspective, when it actively destroys the world we simply stop using it
That's because we understand the technology and not the hype around it

in reply to Eugen Rochko • • •@Gargron @peachymist I’m afraid I can’t agree with you here. Europe is not a separate planet, isolated from the rest of the world. If we, as Europe, do not adopt and develop the most advanced solutions, we will simply lose our competitiveness - both in terms of products and the workforce.
We can already see this very clearly in the automotive industry. If we turn away from innovation, Europe risks falling into a deep economic crisis instead of strengthening its position.

in reply to European Commission • • •the Commission’s first post uses “AI” to describe generative AI infrastructure. Its reply contains use cases where *non-LLM* AI is doing great things. I don’t think LLMs are helping with disease prevention or traffic fatalities. They’re helping write memos.
If the European Commission doesn’t understand the difference between machine learning algorithms and large language models, it shouldn’t make pronouncements about the utility of “AI”.
