Against the backdrop of increasing global competition in AI, the EU has officially announced an unprecedented artificial intelligence investment plan. Today at the AI Action Summit in Paris, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen formally unveiled a grand initiative called 'Invest AI', showcasing the EU's strong determination in global AI competition. This investment plan, with a total scale of €200 billion, notably includes a dedicated €20 billion European Fund for the construction of AI gigafactories. This decision marks the EU's official entry into large-scale AI development.

During the 2024 National 'Two Sessions', Liu Qingfeng suggested the formulation of a national 'General Artificial Intelligence Development Plan'. He put forward 9 recommendations, including increasing investment, forming an industrial ecosystem, and promoting data openness and sharing. He also emphasized the need to accelerate the formulation and review of laws and regulations and to establish research topics on ethics and humanities.
