The European Union disclosed details of the plan to build an AI super factory. This plan will cost 20 billion euros.

The European Commission released the "Artificial Intelligence Continent Action Plan" on the 9th. Vice President Hannu Vainikka of the European Commission, who is responsible for executing matters such as technological sovereignty, said in a statement that AI technology is at the core of making Europe more competitive, safer, and with greater technological sovereignty. "The global AI race is far from over."

According to The Guardian's report on the 9th, the EU has begun implementing a plan to build 13 AI super factories. Super factories will be equipped with supercomputers and data centers. Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, announced the "Invest in AI" initiative at the AI Action Summit held in Paris on February 11. This initiative aims to mobilize 200 billion euros of investment to promote the development of AI. According to this initiative, the EU will specifically establish a fund worth 2 billion euros to build European AI super factories.

According to the "Artificial Intelligence Continent Action Plan", the supercomputers of the EU's best-performing AI super factories will be equipped with up to 25,000 high-end AI processors. Each super factory will have more than 100,000 high-end AI processors.

According to The Guardian, a senior EU official reported that the liquid cooling technology used in these AI super factories will be supported by green electricity as much as possible, and plans to "recycle" water resources are also being considered. Data shows that 47% of the EU's electricity came from renewable energy sources last year. Some environmentalists are concerned that data centers consume huge amounts of energy, which may undermine the EU's environmental goals.
