Guest commentary: Europe needs its own AI – and the courage to build it
Europe is dependent on the USA and China for AI. And politics has no plan to change this, criticize Hinrich Thölken from Capgemini and AI researcher Aljoscha Burchardt.
The headline "Gastkommentar: Europa braucht eine eigene KI – und den Mut, sie zu bauen" translates to "Guest Commentary: Europe Needs Its Own AI – And the Courage to Build It." The article discusses the importance of Europe developing its own artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities. Currently, the market for advanced AI models is dominated by companies from the United States and China, who profit from the data that Europe provides.
This dependence on foreign AI technology raises concerns about data control, missed opportunities for value creation, and technological reliance. Building a reliable domestic AI infrastructure is not feasible with the current budget and computing power in Germany and Europe.
