Artificial Intelligence

The race for leadership in AI is far from over. From cutting-edge foundation models to specialised AI applications, the AI landscape in the EU is dynamic. It is driven by research, emerging technologies and a thriving ecosystem of startups and scaleups. The AI Continent Action Plan will boost the European Union's AI innovation capabilities through actions and policies around five key pillars.

On the 8 October 2025, Executive Vice-President Henna Virkkunen, announced the "Apply AI Strategy" and the "European AI in Science Strategy". The strategies aim to integrate Artificial Intelligence into the EU's key industries, and to focus on research for AI, and using AI in European science across all fields.
