Dr. Ciarán Seoighe:
I do not know where it has got to fully yet. Originally, there was a proposition by a number of academics across Europe, who wrote and submitted a paper saying what they think is required for Europe to catch up, stay ahead and bring public trust into AI. There is a lot of discussion at EU level about such investment, which I follow. The most important thing is that, as a member state, we remain close to it and when those opportunities come we are right in the middle of it.
