Europe risks entering the age of advanced AI without the infrastructure needed to control its own future.
In this episode, Henry and I speak to Judith Dada, co-author of Europe 2031, about its warning that Europe could become dangerously dependent on American AI companies and infrastructure.
We discuss:
- Whether Europe is underestimating the speed and significance of AI progress
- What a fictional scenario can tell us about the future
- Why AI adoption may lag behind technical progress
- Whether Europe needs its own OpenAI
- Why Judith thinks Europe should invest heavily in data centres and compute
- Whether European control of compute would provide real geopolitical leverage
- The tensions between AI sovereignty, economic growth, regulation and environmental goals
- What human abilities may become more valuable as intelligence becomes abundant
