EU steps up on AI – new guide helps make sense of the big picture
What is the EU doing to support the development and use of artificial intelligence? What are AI Factories, TEFs, and the AI-on-Demand platform and how do they connect?
A new guide published by the European Digital Innovation Hub (EDIH) network provides a clear overview of the EU’s AI innovation ecosystem and the key players involved.
The guide outlines the various infrastructures launched under the EU’s AI strategy – their roles, how they complement each other, and how businesses can benefit. Whether it’s accessing test environments, AI datasets, or expert support, the aim is to help innovations move from lab to market and drive responsible AI adoption across all sectors.
