BRUSSELS (WAM)
The Council has today adopted an amendment to the regulation on the European High-Performance Computing (EuroHPC) joint undertaking to expand its objectives to include the development and operation of ‘AI factories’.
AI factories are entities which provide an AI supercomputing service infrastructure. The amended regulation will make the EU’s supercomputing capacity further available for innovative European start-ups and SMEs to train their AI models and develop projects. This is the last step in the decision-making procedure.
"To compete internationally, Europe needs to be a frontrunner in the artificial intelligence technology race. With the regulation adopted today, we will equip our researchers, start-ups and SMEs with powerful tools to develop state-of-the-art AI projects in the EU,'' said Willy Borsus, Vice-President and Minister for Economic Affairs, Foreign Trade, Research and Innovation, the Digital Economy, Spatial Planning and Agriculture of Wallonia.
