2024 may be closing, but the future is just unfolding...
This year, we made history with the EU AI Act to promote safe, trustworthy, and human-centric AI that works for you.
Besides the 8 world-class EuroHPC supercomputers in 🇧🇬 🇨🇿 🇫🇮 🇮🇹 🇱🇺 🇵🇹 🇸🇮 🇪🇸, 4 more are on the way in 🇫🇷 🇩🇪 🇬🇷 🇸🇪, and several quantum systems in 🇵🇱🇫🇮🇫🇷🇩🇪.
Next up: AI Factories will combine computing power, data, and talent to boost AI innovation. The first 7 will be established in 🇫🇮 🇩🇪 🇬🇷 🇮🇹 🇱🇺 🇪🇸 🇸🇪.
In for a trailblazing 2025!
One of few things EU doing I am not inspired by, in fact concerned. So far AI proves to be a machine to perform the grandest intellectual property violation in human history.
@noctilua @EUCommission There are wayyy more kinds of AI than just image and text generators. AI helps discover new crystalline materials, fold proteins, translate, increase accessibility, detect illness, predict weather, fight cybersecurity threats, etc.
@noctilua @EUCommission Obviously, devil is in the details. I see a lot of stories about AI being misapplied that make me angry. Still, I realize that Europe needs AI to stay productive and relevant. US & China also use AI to hasten their progress and they don't have strong moral inhibitions when it comes to AI or surveillance. EU is our best bet when it comes to restricting unethical uses of AI.

Which I hope are the subjects meant to be covered by this post. Considering the landscape, however, there is sneaky suspicion the case might be about useless code autofillers and chatbots of different sorts.
Now when I think about it, using it in fields like medicine, for example, might also bring big issues due to staff's overreliance on the technology. This may hurt in ways we don't really expect now.
Still concerned.
