The European Commission’s Group of Chief Scientific Advisors handed Commissioners Margrethe Vestager and Iliana Ivanova a non-binding opinion on the uptake of AI in science on 15 April 2024, with a SAPEA evidence review. Its main recommendation is a European institute for AI in science giving researchers large-scale computing, cloud infrastructure and AI training, alongside data and code standards and transparent public models.

Why it matters

EU researchers relying on a few companies’ AI infrastructure got a formal advisory proposal to the Commission for a public institute with shared compute, data standards and AI training.
