Europe, the AI Continent.

@EUCommission you know, the link you provided explains none of your claims. What even is an AI factory? Or the AI Omnibus? Seems like your post was made with AI too

@fnrd @EUCommission the linked page links a q&a: https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/faqs/ai-continent-action-plan-qa
The first question there is "What are AI Factories". The "answer" links https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/policies/ai-factories
But I still have no clue what an ai factory is. Is it just a datacenter with GPUs?

@EUCommission here's a suggestion before spending a bazillion on "AI".
Make it (much) easier to start small businesses.
Like, β¬100 instead of β¬1000s, and a clearly defined list of paperwork, that can be processed at a single govt agency in under 1 hour, in 1 country.
Then, simplify the byzantine pan-EU tax arrangements so this small business can just pay tax once, instead of needing to spend β¬4000/year on accountant support, and filing in multiple countries.
And when you've achieved that marvel of bureaucratic enlightenment, by all means circle back and examine the detritus of whatever Yucatan-sized crater the US AI industry has imploded into, to see if anything of actual value can be forged from the slag.
@dch Yes. All that. It'd be vastly more helpful for small business owners in the EU (I'm one of them) as well as all the other EU citizens that they're supposed to be working on behalf of than whatever @EUCommission thinks they'll achieve by brown-nosing foreign billionaires who are trying to get rich out of the "AI" hype.

Europe, the AI Continent.
One year ago, we launched the AI Continent Action Plan. Since then, we have made huge strides:
19 AI factories are now live across EU countries.
We established the AI Skills Academy to train experts.
The AI Omnibus is cutting costs for business.
We have earmarked β¬1 billion to support AI adoption in industry. We are building a secure and innovative AI future for Europe.
Here's how

@dch @EUCommission 100%, to open a small business in Romania you either go through a paid service or you do it yourself and run around the city to like 3 or 4 govt agencies because they couldn't possibly handle this entirely online.
You often get berated at from a tired, overworked minimum wage woman in her 60s that your paperwork is missing something or you ticked the wrong box or whatever.

Learn to read the room. The money you waste on those harmful slop machines will not earn you a medal here.Maybe try to protect the EU's citizens against the very technology you are hyping. It costs less, values actual humans more than corporations, and may even get you some applause on the Fediverse.

https://link.europa.eu/nj3VH9@EUCommission making easier for the bros to spoil our environment, render us jobless, propagate disinformation, cause mental health issues and even suicides, etc. for a plagiarism machine that barely does an acceptable job at the 3-4 real use cases is surely not the way to go. Why are you pushing for something no one wants (would you want to live near a datacenter? Me neither). Why don't we use this money to make europeans lives better? You don't care about anything but money, and that's gross.

@alextecplayz @EUCommission same in Austria. Nobody can tell you whatβs required up front, so you just get fined when you βforgotβ something.
