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.EU being almost literally like...

This is a milestone for Europe in becoming an AI Continent.@HennaVirkkunen Beter plan: send me 15 billion and keep the other 15 billion in your pocket. This way in the end we both have 15 billion more than with your original plan

This is a milestone for Europe in becoming an AI Continent.@HennaVirkkunen@ec.social-network.europa.eu some people will say abandon AI altogether, I think that’s negligent and people aren’t using their brains, especially as adversarial countries will not stop advancing AI. Being at a disadvantage against adverbial countries would be a terrible position.
I do encourage instead of Giga factories lead the charge in edge computing & services, in local AI. Chinese companies are advancing significantly with fewer resources so it’s clearly possible. Figure out how to advance using fewer resources -

This is a milestone for Europe in becoming an AI Continent.@HennaVirkkunen Instead of investing in AI which will vociferously consume electricity and water, we need to be investing faster and investing more in decarbonising our economies, in producing clean, renewable energy and in adapting to climate change!

@danielquinn @HennaVirkkunen Good thing is that it's European project, so by the time they are ready to start with building, AI bubble will already burst

@HennaVirkkunen "it's ok, the next versions of these will be powered by dried-up rivers and burning forests, no doubt..."

Please read all of these comments and wake up from your bubble dreams. Seriously.We so not need this. We need, collectively, clean air, clean water, clean energy, clean food.
Invest to to saving the planet, not destroying it even faster, and invest to more trees, cooling the cities that are BURNING, making sure people can grow food locally, and bettering public services in EU countries.
Also prioritize fighting the clear rise of facism.
We beg of you. -

This is a milestone for Europe in becoming an AI Continent.@HennaVirkkunen Just before the whole bubble bursts and while the whole continent (and the planet) is on fire. Ridiculous. I really hope it fails. Even if it's our, the taxpayers money you waste on this.

This is a milestone for Europe in becoming an AI Continent.@HennaVirkkunen The only people who want this either don’t understand what AI is, or they run companies that will tender bids which will be approved by people who don’t understand what AI is.

This is a milestone for Europe in becoming an AI Continent.@HennaVirkkunen I hear there’s some prime land currently being cleared so you can build your data centers there. For example near Madrid and Bordeaux there’s now lots of unused land ready to be developed. /s

This is a milestone for Europe in becoming an AI Continent."Gigafactory" is a term coined and popularized by known fascist and racist Elon Musk. "AI Factory" was coined by NVIDIA to make investments into their graphics cards look like a reasonable way to use one's resources.
That alone should stop anyone from using those terms or their composita. The fact that "AI" hasn't shown meaningful contribution to economic growth or increased productivity is another mark against it.

But "AI" does what it was built to do: Disenfranchise Labor, push down wages, increase power and economic inequality. Those "Factories" produce injustice. No democracy should want anything to do with it.

@engineer @danielquinn @HennaVirkkunen Historically, that has not prevented the projects with signed contracts from going forward. A lot of (EU-funded) Blockchain/Web3/NFT research projects were carried out long after their valuations had collapsed.
@ansuz @engineer @danielquinn @HennaVirkkunen Not to mention money wasted on Hyperloop thingies.
