B. whereas the failure to deploy AI-systems to reinforce EU competitiveness will be detrimental to future growth, investment and innovation, as the weaker productivity growth in Europe compared to the US is mainly due to a clear competitive advantage and more investment in ICT; whereas it is important to maintain a foothold in areas where technological sovereignty is required, to boost performance in adjacent fields such as pharma, energy, materials and defence; and whereas AI – in particular generative AI – is still an evolving technology and as such EU companies still have an opportunity to take a leading position in some segments;1a
