Europe faces up to €600 billion AI infrastructure gap as race accelerates - سانا

Brussels, Sept. 20 (SANA) Europe could face costs of up to €600 billion over the next decade to close its widening artificial intelligence infrastructure gap as AI adoption accelerates, intensifying efforts to expand computing capacity and reduce dependence on foreign technology . European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde said Europe already has too little data-center capacity to meet its own demand and, under current trends, the gap is projected to grow more than sixfold within a decade. A study commissioned by the European Commission projects the capacity gap to rise from about 3 gigawatts in 2025 to around 20 gigawatts by 2036.
