“The infrastructure is completely missing in Europe”

This is also the result of a misguided European economic policy, says Wasner. Because the EU Commission, also under the influence of the interests of old industries Technology simply overslept. The problem shows the problem that the summit of France and not by the EU Commission: “The member countries do what you would actually expect from the Commission.”

France model

France already presented a AI strategy in 2018. The French start-up Mistral Ai is also the only one that can keep up with voice models that are based on chatbots like chattt, says Wasner. There is currently a lot to do with technology. It is becoming apparent that the operation of AI systems becomes more cost-intensive. “Then it will need such investments every year,” says the expert.

In Europe there is also a lack of many corners and ends. At the capital market, you are lagging behind the United States as well as in the framework conditions. The problem is not just in regulation. There are no companies in the EU who want to create the status quo.

“See opportunities”

In Europe, they first dealt with the regulation of the technology without knowing how to use it at all, says Andreas SchwarzenbrunnerManaging Director of the Risk Patient Speedinvest. “You bridged the horse from behind.”

The AI ​​summit in Paris is a sign that you can also see the possibilities. Europe has good universities, the talents are also available. Now it is important to ensure that the technical revolution does not stay outside. This also needs an intensification of training and orders to companies from public authorities, says the risk capital provider.

Potential for Austria

How can Austria and domestic companies benefit from the technology? In the scientific field, the train has already been missed, says Wasner, because in contrast to other countries, research in the area has hardly been invested in the area in the area. However, existing industries could use technology profitably, for example in the biotechnology or the Production.

Also im public service There are many options, says Risk capital provider Schwarzenbrunner. He warns more cooperation between companies, research sites and government agencies. The experts see great potential in tourism. For example, with AI systems that support travelers. “Now would be the right moment,” says Wasner.
