In order to ensure that it does not fall behind in the global AI competition, the EU's InvestAI plan will be deployed in multiple key areas. The plan will build 12 AI R&D centers equipped with EuroHPC supercomputers. These centers not only serve cutting-edge research, but also open AI infrastructure to start-ups and researchers to promote the deep integration of industry, academia and research.
It is worth noting that the EU's investment will focus on the development of AI in industrial applications and mission-critical areas.
