Among the ways Europe plans to bolster regional AI developments are a commitment to build a network of AI factories and "gigafactories" and create specialized labs designed to improve the access of startups to high-quality training data.
The EU defines these "factories" as large facilities that house state-of-the-art chips needed to train and develop the most advanced AI models.
The bloc will also create a new AI Act Service Desk to help regional firms comply with its landmark AI law.
