The European Union and the United States have agreed to accelerate and broaden the use of AI in agriculture, healthcare, areas of emergency response, climate forecasting, and power grids. Reuters.

A senior American official called the initiative the first broad-scale AI agreement between the United States and the European Union. Previously, arrangements on this issue were limited to specific areas such as privacy protections, he added.
\n\n
According to a spokesperson for the U.S. administration, AI modeling can be used to increase the speed and efficiency of government operations and services.
\n\n
\”The magic here lies in building joint systems and storing data where it exists […]. We can build an algorithm that interacts with European and American data, because the more data and the more diverse the information, the better the model,\” said the official.
\n\n
The administration official added that the initiative would provide governments with broader access to detailed and rich AI models. In his words, this will lead to more effective emergency response, management of critical infrastructure, and other benefits.
\n\n
For example, the United States collects data on how electricity is used, where it is generated and how to balance grid load. This is necessary so that weather changes do not disrupt the energy system.
\n\n
Many European countries have similar data points. Under the new partnership, all this information is planned to be integrated into a common AI model that will yield better results for emergency managers, grid operators and other responsible officials.
\n\n
Currently the partnership is limited to the White House and the European Commission. The official said that other countries will be able to join the initiative in the coming months.
\n\n
Back in October 2021, the EU and the US planned to develop a common approach for the use of artificial intelligence, data governance and platform policy.

In July, an expert said that Japan and South Korea would help the United States to compete with Chinese technologies.
