The EU wants to highlight European AI platforms, especially in certain sectors such as healthcare or defense.
The European Union aims to further encourage the use of European AI platforms, as reported by the Financial Times, based on a reviewed draft proposal. The EU will primarily focus on specific sectors, including healthcare, defense, and industry. This is partly due to potential risks associated with the use of non-European AI services. The EU thus seeks to form a united front against major AI competitors such as the US and China.
European AI Platforms
Europe views the use of non-European AI platforms as a potential risk. Therefore, the EU aims to promote the use of local AI platforms. This requires a policy to stimulate such development, particularly in high-risk sectors like healthcare, industry, and defense.

Meanwhile, Europe is home to several well-known AI companies, including the French Mistral and the German defense technology firm Helsing. Nevertheless, in our country, we still frequently rely on AI services from, among others, the US, such as the most prominent: OpenAI.
Furthermore, the draft proposal states that government agencies must play a central role in the domestic development of AI. They aim to help AI start-ups grow as the demand for European AI developments continues to rise. The EU is expected to present the proposal on Tuesday.
