The race for artificial intelligence - Can Europe compete? | DW Documentary

Показать описание
Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming industries and society - and a global race has taken off for who will create the most cutting-edge technology.

The outcome could reshape the global balance of powers. At the moment, the United States and China stand as the leading contenders. Europe, meanwhile, finds itself lagging behind. But the continent is eager to catch up, and it has a plan: Officials hope that a strong emphasis on
transparency and fairness in AI development will set European AI apart and provide an edge in the years to come.

However, the question remains: Can these European initiatives compete with the vast resources that Big Tech companies pour into AI research? And will the EU's ethics-first approach to AI become a competitive advantage in the global race for AI - or will it set Europe even further
behind?

Trust is a word criminals use to get away with criminal things.
Never blindly trust anyone who has power over you.

I'm always baffled when I see folks in key positions of different fields without having any prior experience at all in that particular field. For instance, Ms Sioli @8:15 is the director for AI in EU with a PhD in economics, apart from the money side I would highly doubt if she understands the current state of art in AI or what are the open problems in the field, yet these folks keep ending up in key strategic positions without having the proper background to understand all the nuances of the field let alone the implications of their decisions.

There are two main problems that are holding the EU back in their development of their AI tech. The first is the conservative funding. In the US, venture capital is more abundant, bold, and risk taking in contrast with the EU. EU startups often face funding issues especially in their later stages and leave to the US where the cash is available.
The other problem is the corporate and societal culture that is less focused on adventurous achievements and more focused on security and stability. There is also bureaucracy in the equation. The US is the land of the personal and individual legends.
The US is excited and optimistic about AI. The EU is cautious and skeptical. Even in media, europeans talk about AI as something foreign not as an accessible technology of their own.

Europe has vast pools of talents and resources to lead emerging technologies like AI and quantum computing; however, the continent has been held back by just as many bureaucrats and "tech consultants" like the Eticas CEO with entrenched professional and financial interests to erect as many regulatory red tapes as possible. Many have little to no background in their specialized tech field and cannot possibly make sound judgments on things that are just starting to bloom. Think about it: many leading European companies especially those in Germany, the largest and most influential economy, have legacy infrastructure and risk adverse mindset that heavily contributed to the contient missing the previous waves of tech innovations including the PC, internet, mobile (i.e. iPhone, Android), cloud and now AI. The latter innovation is a technology that is very different than the others that came before it because AI will have profound effects on nearly all aspects of human life on the planet, way more important than the internet and equivalent to something like electricity. Ethical AI, my areas of research interest, is extremely important. That said, Europe must find a balance between technological oversight and freedom of innovation and entrepreneurial opportunity for the betterment for the majority of Europeans instead of entitled, intellectual elites!

I thought the EU would ask how can we be the best ?

Based solely on this DW report, the answer is clearly NO.

This is my first time hearing "digital twin". The concept is not new, but this terminology is new to me. In 1979 I teamed up with Animal Scientists at Texas A&M University in College Station who were creating a simulation model of beef cattle production. This was a "digital twin" of a herd of beef cattle. My project was to extend this model from the herd level to the individual animal level and became my Master of Computing Science project.

To boost AI competency in Europe, some existing large companies need to adopt AI technology actively. Not just laboratories, software or internet service companies, but conventional block and mortar companies like auto car maker, chemical company, energy company, machine tool factories etc. All these companies and factories benefited from the introduction of computers and internet and various IT technologies since1980's and onward. Same goes to AI technology. AI can be he real game changer when integrated into our society and business in general.

We human have this tendency of constantly optimising and rushing to "improve" our way of life, it's always a race of who gets what first, money that's being lost and progress made. We're so stuck in chasing this development that we fail to live in the moment and appreciate truly important things in life, that come free of charge.

I watch these tech documentaries with irony because I am from Somalia where there is no computer labs in schools yet anywhere in the country and the world is talking about AI what it can do for humanity etc.. What my people experiencing in terms of tech education is even beyond the cliché digital have-nots.

This happened in Sweden where a person I know, who is very much skilled and super rare to find on his field was working for Ericsson. He was one of the key assest for Ericsson. However at some point, Ericsson couldn't continue his job contract because he was already getting paid high from the eyes of Swedish workers uninon and they failed to increase his salary further to retain him. Result, he ended up signing contract for one of the telecom gaint in Dubai.

As someone from Europe we are so fcked with these regulations. Especially as the people who regulate it can't even properly use a computer.

So EU's strategy for any high tech is super clear, your guy create new technology, and I focus on how to regulate it 😄

GPUs started the big bang of artificial intelligence. Quantum computing will be the second big bang for AI.

Although I know your post after 5 months ago but I am very grateful and excited to follow with a very short time and trying to read all reactions and feedbacks to your channel and the main topic about the core competitions to the rest of the world.
Yes, development and distribution of hi tec centers is here and there are promoting the gradual innovation by the daily users and professionals.
Thank you for your concern and accompanied with our better universal.

It's the European technology that gives birth to these modern technological advancement.
We can't denied the Europe that right

I hope EU's AI regulation won't be like the pointless privacy regulation: forcing websites to constantly pop up annoying cookie consent requests ...
