The AI Gigafactories call is now open.
Today, we launched a call for tenders to establish up to 7 AI Gigafactories across Europe, boosting Europe’s computing capacity and unlocking more than €30 billion in investment.
I am pleased to see Member States, industry, and the Commission coming together to build these facilities, which are key to strengthening our technological sovereignty.
This is a milestone for Europe in becoming an AI Continent.@HennaVirkkunen OMG how are you going to power them up? we're in an unprecedented drought and literally burning alive! this is a disaster. and without even talking about the absolute financial and social catastrophe.

This is a milestone for Europe in becoming an AI Continent.and where exactly in europe is any area even remotely suitable for a datacenter available, can supply the water (from dried out rivers?), and the necessary power (france who has to turn off nuclear power due to lack of cooling?)?
which area WANTS a data center draining so much power equivalent to an country?
nobody NEEDS and nobody WANTS the ecological and economic disaster of AI.
come back with 30 billion for alternative energy and green computing first.

@evan who is saying it's just for Europeans?
I don't believe that

@HennaVirkkunen What an absolutely horrendous thing to be pleased about. "AI" is worse than CFCs, tetraethyl lead, and thalidomide combined. The pro-AI crowd all sound like drug addicts and cultists when they aren't obvious grifters, racists, and fascists. It's awful for the environment, causes what amounts to brain damage in its users, it relies on stolen works, and is extraordinarily damaging to society as a whole. Why in the hell would you want to invest in such an insane venture?
@StarkRG @HennaVirkkunen amazingly succinct summary (bookmarked), only missing asbestos in the comparisons.

This is a milestone for Europe in becoming an AI Continent.Let's hope you, your family and every corrupted croock approving this will be affected by floods, fires and whatever the planet throws. Like is happening in Spain and France.
Because you keep increasing the global temperature, installing this useless and needless monsters.
Created to feed the stupid #AI, and the ctiminal #AISlop business that stole the works hundreds of thousands of artists, writers, musicians and filmmakers. Inducing vulnerable people into suicide.
You are quite happy making investments with european money, that you do not earn, to support the business of corrupt politicians like you, criminals, scammers and FOREIGN smoke sellers. Because the AI companies are not European.
You should stop this, and swiftly resign. And be taken to court for fund mishandling.

This is a milestone for Europe in becoming an AI Continent.@HennaVirkkunen I can imagine we want some investments in this area, but invest wisely and forward thinking. Don’t expect miracles by throwing money. Latest insights indicate that smaller models can be very effective. And please consider the environment, the main challenge that we have!

this decision will take money away from climate action and social services and it will lead to the death of many people (heat waves, wild fires...) and to the destruction of the environment and its natural resources in the whole continent. EU is making the worst choices and the people (as always) will pay the consequences. Shame on you and the European Commission. -

This is a milestone for Europe in becoming an AI Continent.@HennaVirkkunen You and the EU are set to enlarge US Big Tech’s power at the expense of EUs own autonomy, climate, environment and democracy.
If you haven't noticed the world is burning and dirty data centres is absolutely not what humans need now.
-
So, just to confirm: you observed the US become dominated by billionaires and exploitative companies who are throwing trillions or dollars at technology that provides marginal (at best) benefits to society and entrenches their power, and your reaction was 'the EU should do that too!'?
For comparison, the amount that you're burning on this is more than twice as much as you'd need for the EU to build a competitive range of memory-safe sovereign CPUs from microcontroller up to server class devices and port most open-source software to run on them. This would reduce the attack surface for all EU infrastructure significantly and provide strong sovereignty guarantees.
Can you share how you did a cost-benefit calculation and decided that chasing a big-tech fad was the best return on investment for the bloc?
@david_chisnall @HennaVirkkunen
on the other hand, 30 billion , over a few years, for capex, is not that much money for the EU
right ?and IF you accept that machine learning is AI, THEN alpha fold is a clear example of great benefit to society
also, I think it is true that for the last 200 years, *every new promising tech, canals, railroads, etc, has seen a huge boom bust in CAPEX

This is a milestone for Europe in becoming an AI Continent.@HennaVirkkunen can we at least wait with GPU shopping until the bubble bursts? and can you start with building PV+storage+grid *first* for some future datacenters instead of more fossil gas like the US is doing it
