PURPOSE: to amend Regulation (EU) 2021/1173 as regards a European High Performance Computing (EuroHPC) initiative for start-ups to boost European leadership in trustworthy Artificial Intelligence.
PROPOSED ACT: Council Regulation.
ROLE OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT: the Council adopts the act after consulting the European Parliament but without being obliged to follow its opinion.
BACKGROUND: a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council laying down harmonised rules on artificial intelligence (Artificial Intelligence Act) aims to improve the functioning of the internal market by laying down a uniform legal framework in particular for the development, marketing and use of artificial intelligence in conformity with Union values.
Since 2021, when Council Regulation (EU) 2021/1173 was adopted, the field of artificial intelligence (AI) has seen enormous technical progress and become a highly strategic and contested domain globally. The Union is at the forefront of efforts to support responsible innovation in trustworthy AI, while setting guardrails and developing effective governance.
On 13 September 2023, as part of a comprehensive approach to support responsible innovation in AI, the Commission announced a new strategic initiative to make the Union’s high-performance computing capacity available to innovative European startups in trustworthy AI to train their models.
Given that the Union’s most powerful world-class supercomputing capacity is found in the European High Performance Computing Joint Undertaking’s facilities, it is those facilities that should be made available in order for the Commission’s initiative to become a reality. It is accordingly necessary to introduce a further objective to the existing six objectives of the Joint Undertaking that would cover the contribution made by its supercomputers to the new AI initiative of the Union.
CONTENT: the proposed amendment will enable the Joint Undertaking to perform activities in the domains of acquiring and operating AI-dedicated supercomputers or partitions of supercomputers to enable fast machine learning and training of large AI foundation models. Those changes would enable the Joint Undertaking to offer tailored computing power and services to nurture large-scale AI training and development and uptake in the Union, which is not feasible under the current Regulation . Only common action of this kind at Union level can enhance the technological sovereignty and Union’s economic security and leverage its tools and regulatory powers to shape global rules and standards in AI, at the same time significantly contributing to AI uptake in European industry, research and public services.
More specifically, the proposed amendment of the EuroHPC Regulation aims to set up AI Factories , a new pillar for the EU's supercomputers Joint Undertaking activities. It will consist of:
- acquiring, upgrading and operating AI-dedicated supercomputers to enable fast machine learning and training of large General Purpose AI (GPAI) models;
- facilitating access to the AI dedicated supercomputers, contributing to the widening of the use of AI to a large number of public and private users, including startups and SMEs;
- offering a one-stop shop for startups and innovators, supporting the AI startup and research ecosystem in algorithmic development, testing evaluation and validation of large-scale AI models, providing supercomputer-friendly programming facilities and other AI enabling services;
- providing dedicated AI oriented supercomputing services in support of the AI startup, science and innovation ecosystem for the large-scale training and development of general purpose, trustworthy and ethical AI models and systems, and of AI user communities for the development, validation and running of emerging AI applications, in particular in the areas of health and care, climate change, robotics, and connected and automated driving;
- fostering a talent development pool to provide advanced education, training, skilling and reskilling activities to relevant AI stakeholders.

Proposal for a regulation Citation 4 a (new) Having regard to the Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Social and Economic Committee and the Committee of the Regions on boosting startups and innovation in trustworthy artificial intelligence,
Amendment 10 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 5 a (new) (5 a) Whereas the use of supercomputers for Artificial Intelligence (AI), requires a higher usage of data, and current datacentres are progressively reaching their storage capacity limits due to the surge in digitalization and the adoption of new technologies, it is essential that supercomputers dedicated for AI are either located nearby or are connected via high-speed networks to an existing datacentre, or future planned datacentre, that is not overloaded and possesses available storage capacities. Furthermore, such datacentres should be interconnected with the Common European Data Spaces to facilitate the training of models in key sectorial domains.
Amendment 11 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 5 a (new) (5 a) Environmental impact assessment should be conducted together with a mitigation plan for high energy consumption when establishing the Artificial Intelligence supercomputing service infrastructure . Data centres should fully respect the Energy Efficiency Directive requirements as outlined in Article 12.
Amendment 12 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 5 b (new) (5 b) Whereas the deployment of Artificial Intelligence applications requires a significant increase in computational power, which in turn leads to a greater consumption of electrical energy, it is imperative that both new supercomputers dedicated for AI and existing ones being upgraded for AI purposes ensure a stable and secure grid connection and electricity supply to prevent these supercomputers from being underutilized due to potential energy supply constraints. The Joint Undertaking shall regularly monitor and report on the energy consumption of these facilities.
Amendment 13 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 5 c (new) (5 c) Whereas the deployment and advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) necessitate substantial computational power and specialized support, AI Factories will provide comprehensive supercomputing support services to AI startups, small innovative companies, and the broader research and innovation ecosystem. These services are crucial for facilitating access to supercomputers, offering dedicated programming facilities and algorithmic support for the development, testing, evaluation, and validation of AI training models and systems. Furthermore, they will assist in the creation of novel use cases and emerging applications across the European strategic areas including robotics and manufacturing, new materials and batteries, connected and automated driving, health and care, biotech, climate change and adaptation, complex system dynamics, virtual worlds and Digital Twins, cybersecurity, aerospace, agricultural practices, research and innovation and public sector among others.
