Cooperation of Artificial Intelligence Factories and Factories Antennas
Pays one consortium to coordinate Europe's AI Factories network, run shared AI data labs, and build a sovereign EU open web data service.
The JU's own suggested split across the three subtopics is EUR 2.5 million for general coordination and networking, EUR 7.5 million for the AIF Data Labs network, and EUR 2.5 million for the open web data service, though a proposal can request a different split. The Data Labs network is meant to reach 7 to 8 strategic domains, including healthcare and life sciences, manufacturing and robotics, pub…
This topic wants a single proposal covering three subtopics: coordinating and networking Europe's AI Factories and Factories Antennas, federating a network of AI Data Labs across priority sectors such as healthcare, manufacturing and cybersecurity, and building a European open web data service for training AI models. It expects a common governance baseline, a shared service directory, joint training offerings and an annual European AI Factories event.
