  "account": "The European Union is looking to Ireland as a model for responsible AI development, following the country's early adoption of the technology despite local opposition. Ireland will host an international AI summit in Dublin, where technology leaders and EU officials will discuss how to harness the potential of AI while addressing risks. Currently, 20% of EU companies use AI, with adoption rates rising to 55% for larger businesses. However, Europe lags behind the US and China in data centre capacity, with only 5% of the world's capacity. The EU aims to increase its capacity by investing in AI \"giga factories\" and pushing manufacturers to integrate the technology under the \"Apply AI\" strategy. Despite this progress, experts warn that more bold action is needed to support the transformation, including addressing infrastructure strain and potential job displacement.",
