The report published by the European Commission shows that at the current pace of project implementation, the so-called Digital Decade will take a century for some of its objectives.
Another big win for Donald Trump. Supreme Court dismisses charges, grants him immunity and fuel for presidential campaign
Playing for European jobs. “Nothing has been decided yet and through intrigue and games everything is possible.”
The Eurocracy and EU officials have proclaimed development, progress, scientific discoveries and new digital technologies. And because their word must become flesh, they came up with the so-called project in early 2021. European Digital Decade and included in it that by 2030, 75% of companies in the EU will use at least one technological solution of artificial intelligence: AI. Meanwhile, only 11% use them now and at the current growth rate of AI use in 2030 it will be 17%. And it will take 100 years to reach the 75% goals of the enlightened rulers of the Union.
In its report, the European Commission stated that the EU is also more than a decade behind in achieving the desired number of tech start-ups worth at least $1 billion. Europe’s rulers also complain that their subjects are too ignorant, so that the extent to which they master basic skills in digital technologies does not satisfy the Brussels gentlemen.
However, civil servants do not lose their optimism and vision, so Commissioner Margrethe Vestagerz – Europe fit for the digital age – this is her official EU motto, something like a family motto among the aristocracy – is looking boldly to the future.
Today’s report clearly shows that we are not on track to achieve our digital transformation goals in Europe. But it also shows a clear path forward
– Vestarz commented on the report.
The man responsible for introducing censorship on the internet – Internal Market Commissioner Thierry Breton – is even more daring in his view of the EU’s bright future.
We are building a more competitive Europe that exploits its competitive advantage and strengthens its position in the global technology race. Today’s State of the Digital Decade report clearly identifies the areas where our collective efforts must be accelerated to achieve this outcome and meet the Digital Decade objectives by 2030.
Let’s skip the rest of this Brussels gibberish. Of course, the EU’s technological backwardness is not only the responsibility of the organization itself, which is unable to create the right conditions for AI and digital development, but also of many individual countries, such as Germany, which is one of the last horses in the herd. We wrote about their technological backwardness here:
Germany – Europe’s Internet black hole. The land of creaky faxes ranks second to last in the EU when it comes to access to high-speed networks
However, there is no doubt that EU regulations are paralyzing the development of Europe. Suffice it to say that no global social media and no global platform have been created on our continent – even Russia has its own Telegram. However, Brussels is the first in terms of regulation, i.e. introducing censorship on the Internet. This is the work of Breton and Ursula von der Leyen.
The Commission’s report on the Digital Decade does not reveal shortcomings in any particular area, but a continuing trend for the Community to lose its competitiveness in the new digital technologies.
There may be no artificial intelligence in the EU, but there is natural stupidity, so at the World Economic Forum, the EU Commissioner for Innovation, Scientific Research and Youth Education Culture was – as you can see – very busy, Iliana Ivanova told the entrepreneurs gathered in Davos:
Here in Europe we have the so called “Death Valley” where we supposedly have all these cool discoveries but somehow can’t find a place on the market
Of course, she was referring to the promise to create in the European Union an equivalent of America’s Silicon Valley, the world’s largest centre of new digital technologies.
Not much is being created in the EU, so civil servants did what they do best and Ivanova announced in Davos that they had set up a new bureaucratic creation: the European Innovation Council, which has billions of euros to spend on strategic technology companies. At the same meeting in the Swiss resort, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen proudly announced that the EU would be a leader in the use of AI.
There are almost 200,000 in Europe. software engineers with experience in artificial intelligence. This is a higher concentration than in the United States and China.
This is the new frontier of competitiveness. Europe is well positioned to become a leader in industrial AI, the use of AI to transform critical infrastructure into smart and sustainable infrastructure.
What is behind this bold announcement? After the latest report from the European Commission, we know: 100 years of inefficiency. We have often cited this example of the Union’s innate, pathological inertia. In January 2013, the EU launched the Human Brain Project – a project to create a virtual brain. Eleven years have passed, a billion euros have been spent, and there are no brains left in the EU.
