The Member States and the Commission are working together to strengthen ‘artificial intelligence’ made in Europe As part of the implementation of the strategy on artificial intelligence (IA) adopted in April 2018, the Commission today presents a coordinated plan set up with the Member States to promote the development and use of artificial intelligence in Europe. The plan proposes joint actions for closer and more efficient cooperation between the Member States, Norway, Switzerland and the Commission in four key areas:

increased investment;  access to more data;  promotion of talent;  confidence.

 Greater coordination is essential for Europe to become a world leader in the development and dissemination of cutting-edge, ethical and secure AI solutions.

In order to maximize the impact of investments at EU and national level, the plan encourages synergies and cooperation across the EU, exchange of good practice and defines the path to follow to ensure that the EU as a whole can compete globally.
