Something like this would really need to be coupled with creating much more viable markets for investment in AI (and associated technology) in Europe.
Large-scale R&D could be great, but applications of that research should have a good opportunity for creating wealth in Europe.
- robertlagrant 2y agoWith the viable markets you wouldn't need nearly so much investment. People can make money from this; they'll invest.
- RandomLensman 2y agoYes, but unless you fear state funding crowding out public funding, having some state sponsored research doesn't strike me as wrong (could be more basic science, different directions, etc.) - even if there is great investment market.
- robertlagrant 2y agoI don't fear it; I just don't think it's necessary. Just as I don't fear state funded lawnmower manufacturing.
- RandomLensman 2y agoIf Europe wants to finally put the Capital Markets Union and some associated bits in place properly it might indeed not be needed. More defense spending in Europe is probably also creating some new funding opportunities.
