Rasmussen Global CEO Fabrice Pothier estimated that Europe accounts for barely 5% of what is available globally as European Union leaders met in Dublin amid international competition over artificial intelligence.
In an interview published by France 24 on Nov. 13, Pothier cited limited computing resources and said Europe has struggled to turn its research and technical expertise into technology and industrial activity at scale. His remarks add to debate over funding to build Europe’s AI capacity, which EU leaders discussed in Dublin.
Pothier also discussed Russia’s war on Ukraine. He urged European governments to prioritize support that would strengthen Ukraine, including additional air defense interceptors, over efforts to secure a role in negotiations.
