- Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming industries and society - and a global race has taken off for who will create the most cutting-edge technology.
The outcome could reshape the global balance of powers. At the moment, the United States and China stand as the leading contenders. Europe, meanwhile, finds itself lagging behind. But the continent is eager to catch up, and it has a plan: Officials hope that a strong emphasis on
transparency and fairness in AI development will set European AI apart and provide an edge in the years to come.
However, the question remains: Can these European initiatives compete with the vast resources that Big Tech companies pour into AI research? And will the EU's ethics-first approach to AI become a competitive advantage in the global race for AI - or will it set Europe even further
behind?

Trust is a word criminals use to get away with criminal things.
Never blindly trust anyone who has power over you.
Liberty equality fraternity... But not for the puppies
Funny thing, a lot of things in Finland is based on trust
Trust also has degrees and specific limitations. You can trust someone in a particular area and vote for them for that reason, it doesn't mean you trust them absolutely. Leave that cult mindset to the MAGA weirdos.
I'm always baffled when I see folks in key positions of different fields without having any prior experience at all in that particular field. For instance, Ms Sioli @8:15 is the director for AI in EU with a PhD in economics, apart from the money side I would highly doubt if she understands the current state of art in AI or what are the open problems in the field, yet these folks keep ending up in key strategic positions without having the proper background to understand all the nuances of the field let alone the implications of their decisions.
And that's how the documentary answers its own question in the title.
I also had the same in my mind!
They a lot talk about cooperation and common goals, but have no time or will to talk to wide audience in indiustry. Bureaucracy at its finest. Boo! Researchers wanna cooperate with businesses... Who else should give them money and newest tech? Voting is hard in EU. All the sweet talks and shoulder patting, but when it comes to work... Long run
In France, we have two political chambers that are supposed to represent the people (senat + parlement) : there is actually less than 10% of this guys that could be competent on digital affairs. And my guess is that there is probably 0% of this guys that have coded in work environment in their entire life. It just feels that engineers are removed from political decisions.
Politicians are even worse. A minister for a health department needs no medical knowledge whatsoever.
There are two main problems that are holding the EU back in their development of their AI tech. The first is the conservative funding. In the US, venture capital is more abundant, bold, and risk taking in contrast with the EU. EU startups often face funding issues especially in their later stages and leave to the US where the cash is available.
The other problem is the corporate and societal culture that is less focused on adventurous achievements and more focused on security and stability. There is also bureaucracy in the equation. The US is the land of the personal and individual legends.
The US is excited and optimistic about AI. The EU is cautious and skeptical. Even in media, europeans talk about AI as something foreign not as an accessible technology of their own.
All you have written is true, that is why it should be at political level and at EU level that these decisions should be applied to create and nurture an ecosystem. China and Russia are not models of individualistic and pro-risk society and yet if they are given adequate access to semiconductors they will be able to challenge the Americans. What is missing in EU is capital risk structure to attract more foreign investment et the political will.
The third problem would be the lack of neccessary human resources (in terms of both quantity and quality)
0:00 😮
Answering the video question: No, they can't
@@coskuntasdemirCZcams what are you talking about? europe is the most educated and skilled continent.
Europe has vast pools of talents and resources to lead emerging technologies like AI and quantum computing; however, the continent has been held back by just as many bureaucrats and "tech consultants" like the Eticas CEO with entrenched professional and financial interests to erect as many regulatory red tapes as possible. Many have little to no background in their specialized tech field and cannot possibly make sound judgments on things that are just starting to bloom. Think about it: many leading European companies especially those in Germany, the largest and most influential economy, have legacy infrastructure and risk adverse mindset that heavily contributed to the contient missing the previous waves of tech innovations including the PC, internet, mobile (i.e. iPhone, Android), cloud and now AI. The latter innovation is a technology that is very different than the others that came before it because AI will have profound effects on nearly all aspects of human life on the planet, way more important than the internet and equivalent to something like electricity. Ethical AI, my areas of research interest, is extremely important. That said, Europe must find a balance between technological oversight and freedom of innovation and entrepreneurial opportunity for the betterment for the majority of Europeans instead of entitled, intellectual elites!
on the other hand europe can afford to be slow, can afford to walk at a safe pace.
Europe is refusing to accept their defeat.
@@nutzeeeryou need data to train ai to be human. if humans are suspicious and don't want to give up their data then there is no chance for Europe to catch up
I agree with you. Most of the countries right now are either posing too much restrictions on companies to prevent AI or they are just ignoring and not seeing if they are working ethically or not. Every country should find a balance between these two as this will be best for both, that country and the whole humanity.
I think Europe shoud go faster we have to much problems in the world to not inovate with new technologies. Europe is a bit conservative but it does great fundamental research however it is not always developing it further. Maybe the countries in Europe are to small and the languages to different to scale up big ideas like china or the usa where you have sillicon valley and other tech hubs where you cross a threshold where great ideas can get realised and there is an atmosphere of making ideas rality as soon as possible. Often even with frustrated europeans who have the knowledge but not the atmosphere to realize their big ideas. It might not be ideal but in the end if the inovation is made and the people might bring it back from time to time it might be ok. I am from Germany studying applyed informatics.
Based solely on this DW report, the answer is clearly NO.
Right 😂
EU is a complete joke due to culture and government structure. The smart ones leave quickly. No comparison to Asia or the USA where smart leaders are real entrepreneurs.
Super interesting, differents aspects in differents regions.👍
Hats off and a huge thank you to the DW staff for creating such amazing documentaries!
Thanks for watching and for your constructive feedback! :-)
Are you employed by DW ?
@@Known-unknowns I wish xD
A fan of Wittgenstein - AI bewitches more than just language.
@@DWDocumentaryyou need data to train ai to be human. if humans are suspicious and don't want to give up their data then there is no chance for Europe to catch up
I thought the EU would ask how can we be the best ?
We human have this tendency of constantly optimising and rushing to "improve" our way of life, it's always a race of who gets what first, money that's being lost and progress made. We're so stuck in chasing this development that we fail to live in the moment and appreciate truly important things in life, that come free of charge.
This is my first time hearing "digital twin". The concept is not new, but this terminology is new to me. In 1979 I teamed up with Animal Scientists at Texas A&M University in College Station who were creating a simulation model of beef cattle production. This was a "digital twin" of a herd of beef cattle. My project was to extend this model from the herd level to the individual animal level and became my Master of Computing Science project.
Very informative video for AI
Thank You.DW
Although I know your post after 5 months ago but I am very grateful and excited to follow with a very short time and trying to read all reactions and feedbacks to your channel and the main topic about the core competitions to the rest of the world.
Yes, development and distribution of hi tec centers is here and there are promoting the gradual innovation by the daily users and professionals.

As someone from Europe we are so fcked with these regulations. Especially as the people who regulate it can't even properly use a computer.
To boost AI competency in Europe, some existing large companies need to adopt AI technology actively. Not just laboratories, software or internet service companies, but conventional block and mortar companies like auto car maker, chemical company, energy company, machine tool factories etc. All these companies and factories benefited from the introduction of computers and internet and various IT technologies since1980's and onward. Same goes to AI technology. AI can be he real game changer when integrated into our society and business in general.
I watch these tech documentaries with irony because I am from Somalia where there is no computer labs in schools yet anywhere in the country and the world is talking about AI what it can do for humanity etc.. What my people experiencing in terms of tech education is even beyond the cliché digital have-nots.
For anyone from developing countries, it's more important to build your infrastructure and industries, like getting stable electricity, water, internet. Build more roads within your country and trade routes to other countries. The only thing AI and robotics will affect you, is that rich countries are going to move its manufacturing back home, as things can be done by automated machines, but they still need the raw materials from other countries, so they are still mining and taking resources out of Africa, but they will not invest in your industries.
In the same way that the EU regulates Internet privacy through the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), it also promotes a free flow of data with the Non- Personal Data Regulation (NPDR), allowing companies and public administrations to store and process non-personal data wherever they choose. And privacy data doesn't mean all information related to a person, only the one that can identify you, and as long as it is anonymised it can be stored and processed as well. It is also important to know that personal data is not an impediment to feed AI, as it does not need to link data to people, but only to extract patterns. So an AI application for emotion recognition using cameras is no problem as long as the data is anonymised and the predictions are based on patterns.
That's not all that EU is doing.
This level of data protection as you mentioned is there in US.
What EU wants is 3-tiered differential data privacy levels for different types of companies. High impact companies with large reach to mass needs to externally verify their AI & can only provide AI services once they have surely eliminated harmful effects (complex definition). For smaller companies self assessment of AI impact is good enough. Now, good luck inviting big companies to "eliminate all harmful effects" before even launching. How will companies find out all the problems even before launching?
It will force testing of AI platforms in foreign land before deploying it in EU
You know everyone is working to weaponize it too. It comes as a consequence of every innovation.
By 2030, Artificial Intelligence could be looking after our elderly, making films and teaching lessons - or it could have wiped out the human race. 6:19 [Daily Mail]
So EU's strategy for any high tech is super clear, your guy create new technology, and I focus on how to regulate it 😄
You want to compete? Then build application-specific integrated circuit for AI that can be mounted on PCI-E! This is what you need to do to be in race and to avoid buying expensive GPU's from outside of Europe!
Frankly I am elated seeing there are so many AI literate people around in the comments! Good stuff!
How about Postgraduate and doctorate? Are there still important?
great vid
Thanks for watching!
GPUs started the big bang of artificial intelligence. Quantum computing will be the second big bang for AI.
We should focus on things like RISC V and open source software/hardware. Can't trust what you don't even know
For anyone interested in learning more about AI, I highly recommend reading "From Bytes to Consciousness: A Comprehensive Guide to Artificial Intelligence" by Stuart Mills. One of the best written books on AI I have ever read.
We can take support from AI but can't depend on it
ha ha ha - That works well with smartphones and social media....
This happened in Sweden where a person I know, who is very much skilled and super rare to find on his field was working for Ericsson. He was one of the key assest for Ericsson. However at some point, Ericsson couldn't continue his job contract because he was already getting paid high from the eyes of Swedish workers uninon and they failed to increase his salary further to retain him. Result, he ended up signing contract for one of the telecom gaint in Dubai.
This happens often in Sweden. However Sweden has lots of genius left. Sweden is the leading IT nation in Europe.
@6:25 Very interesting that the lady presented herself as Mrs Handschuh, while putting on gloves :) [ Handschuh is the German word for gloves]
How nice that someone noticed it. 🙂 That was no accident.

Privacy issue within W Europe a hindrance to AI development
Good
working with AI in EU it's like trying to build democracy in North Korea
Hello Skynet
I hope EU's AI regulation won't be like the pointless privacy regulation: forcing websites to constantly pop up annoying cookie consent requests ...
Europe may face challenges in competing with America in the field of Artificial Intelligence, and some countries within Europe, such as Portugal, Greece, and Montenegro, may be perceived as lagging behind in this regard.
In the EU the focus is smart cities and hard regulation.
In the US the focus is AGI and the companies are asking the govt to regulate 😂
We are one year behind and it is not too late 😂.
She has no clue what means winner takes all.
My algorithm can help scientist to save lives, as this polish scientist is saying.
How all this is connected to the title of the video? It is more about how some researchers use AI tech and their field of application, good for them.But I was expecting a map of most influential AI companies in the world and their models and showing where EU stands in the race . And a list of major fields where this race is brutal. Instead I get 24" minutes of blabla, law makers already focusing on restrictions - They should not worry at this pace there will be nothing to regulate from Europe. I can use Ai to do my dishwashing too how is it informative. 24 min of blabla and 0 information value. At the end, I went to ask to perplexity, Claude and bing to give me and rank the top 20 Ai European companies based on their financial value (period). I will do the same for the world. Ps. If those people expect that money from Brussels will be enough to complete in this race, they are delusional. Brussels money is just good to build a functioning mockup in order to be bought by a US company😢😢.
WINNER BEST COMMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
True
Good presentation, but why the hyper background noise (some might call it music). Let the content stand on its own. Scale up your efforts in AI while we scale out employment around the world as we all plow our way into this Brave New World.
Research probably has shown that if you give them background noise in a specific manner, you might be able to sway with a brain goes. Think about it the very first Star Wars soundtrack. Put you in a set of mind. It’s exactly what they’re doing here. Might even augmented reality and perception of this video. Just buy a soundtrack with certainly given sounds.
EU does not want a European version of Apple or Google because they’d be too powerful. They rather create hundreds of startups (the best of which eventually get bought by American or Chinese corporations)
😩 where the data A.I plssss
Europe's regulation on AI may hinder progress, in my opinion.
Ik hoop dat we er altijd achter mee zullen lopen,. Ai grootste fout van de mens
Thanks a lot for taking the time to comment. We kindly ask our viewers to comment on our channel in English so that we can answer questions and encourage dialogue.

It's the European technology that gives birth to these modern technological advancement.
We can't denied the Europe that right
Great documentary as always 👍.
Thanks for watching and for the feedback!
the digital twin model is interesting. What happens if I do this or that. It's all good until someone says 'what happens if we forcibly remove these people or what happens if we ban X or Y' Improve for whom?!

It's all about the money. The US simply has larger and more dynamic capital markets than anyone else.
uh China is a strong competitor as well
no, with all peoples from outside
📍11:02
EU has lagged way behind US n CHN and the digital regulation needs change if they want to speed it up
too late already
America was already ahead the game in mid to late 90s with Google, worldwide web, Microsoft
@@RonsmooveTIChina managed to catch up to certain extent. It's not too late for anyone
I think some jobs pertaining to data & social media might be affected if AI replaces these employees.And later if they actually create a robot that can take away manual jobs.
I don’t think people in future would invest in robotic companies that create products that would make US obsolete…maybe good if EU regulations are in place to limit it. I think being uncompetitive should not be a problem if the alternative is avoid extinction of the human race. What would jobless people do with no income & no spending capacity. A robot doesn’t NEED food, tampons, beer, bikinis, sneakers, cookies etc etc etc what would these retail & fmcg & manufacturing companies do :O
In this new digital world Ownership of a persons digital data should be a human right. If it's not companies who own the dater will own us.
as an urban planning student in Kenya, seeing this makes me know that AI has replaced our jobs
Europe is positioned perfectly. It has a powerful industrial and scientific base, mature economies and legislation and a diverse and well-educated population. It takes full advantage of the AI, Quantum Freedom Computing revolution to lead the world in delivering tangible positive outcomes for its population.
AI have to be regulated and data sets should be disclosed. Hope to see US step up with regulations soon
Then people just use AI hosted in a country that doesn't care or worse Jobs move to these countries altogether. Also AI regulation isn't about Privacy problems, they want to regulate it to not lose Influence.
Regulations are ignored by the powerful and followed by the weak.
This is the type of mentality that is going to get the European A.I companies destroyed or absorbed by the American and Chinese companies.
For the people down below what?
WAIT everyone else don't have it...BAHAHAHAHAHA oh...nvm...classified...🚀🤖I liked this video DW Documentary yes!!!!👍😅
I can not say that this video answers the question. Moreover, it does not really present any cutting-edge side of recent AI developments in the EU. There are much more advanced AI research and applications recently developed in Europe. Unfortunately, even in this video, there is too much bureaucracy.
"There are much more advanced AI research and applications recently developed in Europe." - can you give an example?
seems like AI is not artificial anymore.
We want robot cheap userfriendly😕
One who can disturb radio frequency without any tool will control AI
RED SALUTE
Feels proud 🥰🥰💌
You guys don't mean the race to ai but the race to castrated ai using the same algorythms for decades but putting more computing power behind it. Ah yes glorious
14:35 they believe they have a delay of 1 year in LLM, lmao chat gpt didnt even exist 1 year ago 😂
Bulgaria - Urban planning "twin" simulator; Poland- Automated Cancer Chemotherapy Assay testing; EU GATE - DNA genome sequencing disease analysis and monitor privacy protections; EU INSAIT - federated data services (AI driven data sharing and network security)
In order to innovate you have to keep rules aside.
simply becos Europe is still way too divided,
meanwhile, what AI tech need the most, is massive data ......
"Compete" is the wrong word.
Europe should collaborate with United States in A.I.
7:43
And you don't talk about Bigscience Bloom ? The real European opensource AI that surpasses chat GPT ?
chatgptv is not opensourced
@@user-lt5no1xt1z Chatgpt is not opensource, you don't see the different neurons weights. But Biscience Bloom is completly opensourced.
Canada is going to be the number one in this.
There is no trust for me.

I'm not trying to leave you I just thought it was funny I'm actually very grateful and I could kindly shut my mouth if you like
Brilliantly curated content. The book, however, takes it to another level. "From Bytes to Consciousness: A Comprehensive Guide to Artificial Intelligence" by Stuart Mills
europe will find its niche and will do very well in that niche but when it comes to global dominance europe will not be at the forefront of the AI technology. to be that it needs way more aggressive strategies and that is not europeans way of doing things.
Great video, however, i think that in the current climate, with the security threats posed by authocracies, it might not be a good idea for the West to disclose everything about how AI models work
Authocracies is right , the possible threat people should be the most focused on for people that are into focusing on negativity is the ONE'S that are re-authoring internet content before it's seen, under the noses of everybody using AI , anybody who thinks they are in the know about what's really going on put that in your conspiracy pipe and smoke it !
It will not be Europe...infrastructure is too lame. I live in Würzburg Germany - and we STILL have only internet DSL(50k) and they act like its an awesome thing! I can only imagine the rural areas.
I think, we can agree that Europe is a bit behind the curve.
Well - in case of AI - that could well mean -> *forever*
Thanks for this amazing Docu, I wish all countries would do like EU did with IA.
For answering questions and to provide information on just about any topic, AI can already do a pretty good job and will probably get better. It also looks like AI will be able to create art or music and even write novels and make movies and will probably be able to produce engineering design drawings for buildings, roads, bridges, electrical circuits, including any type of machinery or mechanical equipment such as cars or other types of products and may even be able to invent something useful and may be able to teach and educate humans how to behave better on this planet without harming the environment . AI can certainly help with some basic education like teaching people how to read and write and do some math. I can also see AI provide lectures for any type of college or university education. I also think AI could help fight organized crime. Not sure is AI can completely take over doing all this but, I think there will be applications where AI doing some will be beneficial.
AI can already create images and voices of fake people or can copy the images and voices of real people and have videos of the real people saying and doing things that they normally do but can also have them saying or doing things that they did not say or do. Putting out fake information and stealing people's identity is already a big problem and AI can make this a bigger problem but, I think AI can also help prevent the spread of fake news and fake information and help protect people’s identities similar to how computer anti-virus software and computer firewalls protect information. There are always new computer viruses but the anti-virus programs and the computer firewalls are always being updated to combat the new viruses and the hackers. Although the anti-virus and firewall programs are not perfect, they are pretty good. This would also be true if AI is used for some basic policing and security. Although AI would make it easier to infringe on people's rights and freedoms, AI can also be used to protect them.
There have been some pretty impressive gains in automated machines and robotics that have significantly reduced unskilled physical labor so if AI can improve this, I think this would be a good thing. Not to many of us get excited about doing physical labor on a farm or on a factory floor or on a construction site for eight hours a day or more. AI is also getting pretty good and doing many tasks that are not really labor intensive but are repetitive and tedious and need a lot of focus and attention like driving delivery trucks or even flying plans and operating trains and ships. Although I do not think AI can completely take over these tasks there will be applications where AI doing some this will be beneficial.
Skilled physical work and or even skilled physical labor is going to be much more of a challenge for AI and I remain skeptical that we are going to see robots doing surgery or doing a root canal or laying bricks, framing houses, installing plumbing, electrical wiring, drywall or doing maintenance and repair work in buildings, on equipment and machinery such as cars, trucks, trains, planes or ships. AI may be able to operate cars, trucks, trains, planes or ships and even design them but, I remain skeptical that AI will be able to build, maintain or repair them.
As someone who has been studying AI long before the AI boom, have been super passionate about it, and has a minor form of ASD so I have a hyperfixation with it, I can say that do not be skeptical that it will be able to build things, it WILL build things, it will get better, if you use proper scaling laws on AI, and if you pay attention in the subject you will know that it will not stall. We will have AGI by 2028 (I used a mathematical scaling law along with consulting with fellow likeminded individuals) and the AGI will build on top of itself working with humans by 2029 we will have superintelligence, I can talk about it with you for 6 hours straight and be happy with it, just dont be a doomer and I will be happy going back and forth.
@@malindrome9055 I am not against innovation and technology. I think the progress humans have made and the knowledge they gained in the last 100 years is absolutely stunning. The advances in AI have also been very impressive and perhaps your optimism about the timelines are correct. If I can see robots doing surgery or a root canal or installing plumbing or wiring in a home or installing new brake pads on a car in my lifetime I would be surprised but, I like surprises.
Humans also need to learn to be much more truthful and honest and much less greedy and selfish and learn that the wellbeing and happiness of others benefits everyone and is the basis for morality. Humans also have to learn to stop behaving badly toward each other and learn how to resolve their differences in much more respectful ways without using violence and without spying on each other and stop building weapons that can wipe out most of the life on this planet. Maybe AI can help humans accomplish this.
open source ai should end up supplanting big tech ai - europe will be a pivotal player - they do need more fabs, infrastructure and a closer look at how regulations could hold back efforts but they will likely overcome these issues with good planning and execution and iteration along with community cooperation - ai is in the first inning of a 9 inning game so lots can happen
It can, but only when you stop being super regularly state which makes Inovation difficult. 😂
12:49
Dont see much intell in AI except dataism.
It's incredible how much Europe cares for privacy more than my country the united states and I wanna live in the EU because live there is so much better and better health care etc than here I'm happy they are putting striction on AI and what it rules should be I'm happy they're allowing it's use while being more open and understanding the problems it could cause if not looked after including using AI to fight disinformation that's great it's what we need
All the EU can do is regulate. That’s really their greatest contribution to the world in most areas. Not being ironic.
