It is hoped these facilities will help speed up development of applications in healthcare, energy, transport, defence and manufacturing
The European Commission (EC) has launched a call for artificial intelligence (AI) ‘factories’ to be set up across Europe with the aim of boosting the development of safe and trustworthy AI technology.
The facilities will help AI developers train their large generative AI models by using the European High-Performance Computing (HPC) supercomputers and providing access to data, computing and storage services. They will be available to a range of European users, such as startups, industry and researchers.
