The EU launches four “crash test” experimental AI facilities, funded by a €220M investment, which will let companies test AI and robotics in real-life settings
The Europe Union is introducing “crash test” systems for artificial intelligence to ensure new innovations are safe before they hit the market. The trade bloc launched four permanent testing and experimental facilities across Europe on Tuesday, having injected €220 million ($240 million) into the project. The centers, which are virtual and physical, will from next year give technology providers a space to test AI and robotics in real-life settings within manufacturing, health care, agriculture and food, and cities.
