Europe’s New AI Strategy Aims to Cut Reliance on the U.S. and China

Europe’s New AI Strategy Targets Reduced Reliance on U.S. and China

The European Union (EU) is developing a robust, advanced strategy to operate independently and reduce its reliance on China and the US for technology. Its focus is to alleviate dependency on foreign artificial intelligence (AI) providers and introduce European-planted AI platforms. The EU tech chief, Henna Virkkunen, will soon reveal the strategy for confirming the drafted proposal. The ‘apply AI strategy’ describes resilience, industrial competitiveness, and security by leveraging the development and beginning to sow the seed of AI technologies. Europe’s initiative is a major step towards building an AI foundation, a core strategy that ultimately resolves crucial challenges in all markets.

The AI technologies will ensure stability and competitive performance in the vast technology market. The adoption of technology leads to development and the generation of new ideas across the globe and in various regions. The draft proposal structure is a count of the efforts and a major step in the European tech sector. The AI technology has doubled the progress in every market, benefiting its respective regions and further bolstered through partnerships and effective contracts. However, owning the base of AI technology brings satisfaction, flexibility, and internal relief to the region.

The draft proposal alerts to the external dependencies of the AI stack. Following this, the software and infrastructure require training, foundation, and accurate management of the AI applications. This could pose a challenge for both non-state and state sectors, particularly those facing supply chain issues. The commission is focused on enhancing and promoting EU AI sovereignty by introducing policies to facilitate the adoption of European replicative and scalable generative AI solutions in the public administration space.

The strategy emphasizes the importance of enhancing AI usage in key sectors, including defense, manufacturing, and healthcare. To successfully execute these initiatives, the commission is marshalling 1 billion euros from its previously financed programs. The European Commission president, Ursula von der Leyen, said, “The bloc is planning to leverage AI adoption throughout the board by applying an AI strategy to avoid a lack of technology advancement in Europe.” 

The bloc intends to centralize the execution of European AI-powered tools as a weapon to compete. Furthermore, Brussels plans to enhance the deployment and development of European AI-fueled control and command (C2) capabilities. The systems are designed to guide groups and manage challenging operations. The commission also aims to contribute to the development of sovereign frontier models, primarily for space defense technology.
