To do this, we need to join forces in the field of AI.

European Union countries must join forces in the race for artificial intelligence, said Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk. During the informal EU summit in Dublin on November 13, he called for the 27 member states to coordinate their efforts to boost Europe’s competitiveness, according to “Polish Radio”.

“By joining forces, Europe significantly increases the scale of its activities, its strength, and its influence. By coordinating our actions, we can become 27 times more productive, gain access to a 27 times wider range of services, and accelerate our growth,” Tusk wrote on social media platform X.

According to the prime minister, it is precisely this scale of operations that gives the United States and China an advantage over Europe. In response, he proposed focusing on establishing leading research institutes in the field of AI and transforming scientific results into industrial potential.

Tusk also called for ensuring the effective operation of the so-called “28th legal regime.” This refers to a European Commission initiative establishing uniform rules for companies that could voluntarily opt into them to operate in the European market. The proposed system is intended to simplify the process of starting and growing a business across multiple EU countries.

“Let’s stop funding our ambitions in a fragmented way—let’s start acting together and secure Europe its rightful place in the artificial intelligence revolution,” urged the Polish prime minister.

The use of AI to boost Europe’s competitiveness was one of the main topics at Friday’s meeting in Dublin. This is the first dedicated strategic discussion among EU leaders focused on artificial intelligence. The agenda included its impact on the economy, society, security, and trust in technology.
