EU Member States to Work Together to Boost AI

The European Commission and EU member states agreed on a coordinated plan to foster the development of artificial intelligence in Europe, including for precision healthcare applications.

In 2019, member states will map out national AI research excellence centers and their core competencies to support EU-wide cooperation and networking.

The EU will fund networks of AI research excellence centers with EUR 50 million ($56.5 million) in 2020, and it will make EUR 390 million ($441 million) available for developing platforms and large-scale pilots.
