I'm deeply concerned about Europe's future on AI. One of my biggest worries is our erosion of agency, our ability to stay relevant and fight for our values in a future where AI becomes a civilisationally important technology.
Myself, @DadaJudith , @bakkermichiel and others have written a scenario to outline a potential future we worry we are on track towards.
europe2031.ai/
Every optimistic and realistic path I can see for Europe runs through a central node - one where Europe has more leverage, more importance and more say. One where Europe grows more, builds more where it matters, and takes ownership over its resilience.
Europe 2031 is a five-year scenario of the continent's slide into irrelevance: how AI is driving it, and what can still be done.
The co-authors are researchers, scientists and investors who have advised European leaders, co-authored national AI strategies, built and funded these systems from the inside. We have no interest in hype and we deeply care about this continent.
Europe 2031 ends with five concrete recommendations:
- drastically more compute on European soil
- an AI middle-power coalition
- labour-market reforms
- a bold position in robotics and industrial AI
- and a positive vision of what AI can do for society.
Europe can still change course if it finds the political will and the courage to engage in the most ambitious political and economic agenda the continent has undertaken in peacetime.
I encourage you to read it if you have the time:

Dublin has arguably the highest density of ML engineers in Europe. For a new @_fitzwilliam essay, @cvi94 asks: Why is it virtually absent from frontier AI research?

Governmental cost-benefit analysis is shaped by the "shadow cost of public funds", an estimate of the total welfare loss from taxation. In a new blog post for @ProgressIreland, I do a deep dive on how these numbers are calculated, and how much we should trust them

Governments decide whether to invest by way of cost benefit analyses. @Sam__Enright took a close look at the cost side of the ledger: how much does it cost to raise each euro of tax?
