Europe holds just 5% of global AI compute vs US 75%, warn 60+ experts in new strategy report
anselm · x · 2026-09-15
Over 60 top European experts, including two Nobel laureates, published "A Transformative AI Strategy for Europe," an independent report arguing Europe is utterly unprepared for transformative AI. Key figures: the EU hosts only 5% of global AI compute vs 75% for the US; a single Malaysian data centre will soon hold a third of all of Europe's AI compute, and two US data centres will exceed the whole continent. The report warns even Europe's richest economies could slide toward middle-income status in a world run from Silicon Valley and Beijing, and lays out strategic priorities around agency, economic strength, citizen protection and robust public institutions.
