Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt warned that Europe is at risk of becoming dependent on Chinese artificial intelligence. If the continent does not significantly increase its investment in its own AI capabilities, particularly in open-source laboratories and energy infrastructure, this risk will continue to grow.
In his speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, he emphasized that without major investments, European companies and governments risk becoming dependent on foreign technologies for critical applications.
In order to remain competitive and secure technological sovereignty, Europe must act strategically now and provide the necessary financial resources. Especially in global competition with the US and China, this moment must not be missed.
