31·10 months agoI was also under the impression that they will create proper search engine for regular users
It is a proper search engine for regular users
It will power regular search results:
Called European Search Perspective (EUSP), the JV now aims to serve around 50% of French queries and 33% of German queries by the end of the year.
And it also has an API 🫨 that AI search engines can use

You’re saying that currently AI does not help with anything?

1·10 months agoSomebody didn’t read the article :P
Nscale will design and build the site, and it will be a 50/50 joint venture between the two companies. OpenAI will be an “off-taker” in the project, buying capacity from the data center.
also
Nscale and OpenAI told TechCrunch that Stargate Norway isn’t a part of the European Union’s plans to scale AI at home. Nscale CEO Josh Payne told CNBC that part of the purpose of this project is to “leverage European sovereign compute” for the benefit of the continent. Norway’s AI ecosystem, like startups and scientific researchers, will get priority access to the center.
On top of this:
So far, the EU has put up 10 billion euros ($11.8 billion) in funding to set up 13 AI factories and 20 billion euros as a starting point for investment in the gigafactories, marking what it says is the “largest public investment in AI in the world.” The bloc has already received 76 expressions of interest in the gigafactories from 16 member states across 60 sites, Virkkunen said.
Great! what are you waiting for? build them?
However, in order for the factories to make a noteworthy addition to Europe’s computing capacity, significantly more investment will be required from the private sector to fund the expensive infrastructure.
oh…

2·10 months agoEuropeans are using AI, maybe you missed this?
Over 13% of EU businesses with at least 10 employees have embraced Artificial Intelligence, says Eurostat, a 5.5% increase from 2023, with all member states reporting growth in the use of AI technology.
Large companies - meaning those with at least 250 employees - reported much higher AI use: 42% on average.
The EU should be powering it’s own data centres, not relying on the Americans
