A strong opportunity for Europe’s AI ecosystem to take part in the Frontier AI Grand Challenge. As part of the Apply AI strategy, together with the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking, we have launched a flagship EU-wide competition aimed at driving the development of sovereign, large-scale European AI models. The selected project will receive up to 2.5 percent of the overall EuroHPC computing capacity for one year, on one or more AI-optimised EuroHPC supercomputers. By combining world-class EuroHPC supercomputing capacity with Europe’s leading AI talent, we aim to help close Europe’s strategic gap in high-end AI. The initiative will support the development of frontier general-purpose AI systems capable of adapting across domains with minimal modification, while leveraging Europe’s world-class supercomputing infrastructure.

This includes features such as infinite scroll, autoplay, push notifications, and its highly personalised recommender system. TikTok seems to fail to implement reasonable, proportionate and effective measures to mitigate risks stemming from its addictive design. At this stage, the Commission considers that TikTok needs to change the basic design of its service. 🔗: https://lnkd.in/d36jsz9a
