The European Union launches a new artificial intelligence strategy to reduce dependence on the US and China.

The European Union is preparing to unveil a new strategy aimed at strengthening European artificial intelligence platforms and reducing the continent's reliance on technologies from the United States and China, according to the Financial Times.

The newspaper reported that the European Commission is working on a plan known as the "Apply AI Strategy," which aims to encourage the development and deployment of homegrown AI tools in vital sectors such as healthcare, defense, and manufacturing.

This move comes at a time when the European Union is seeking to strengthen its technological independence and compete with US and Chinese dominance in the global artificial intelligence market, particularly with the rising influence of giant companies such as OpenAI, Google, and Baidu.

The strategy is expected to be formally presented in the coming weeks, as part of the EU's efforts to accelerate local innovation and ensure that European technologies are more compliant with stringent privacy and security regulations.
