reader-text-block__paragraph\">Unmissable: <strong>Donald Trump <\/strong>&lsquo;s <strong>transition of power in the USA<\/strong> is on everyone&rsquo;s mind. The numerous LinkedIn posts and comments on Stargate reflect these reactions &ndash; but what is really behind this turmoil and why does it move us so much?<\/p>\n<p id=\"ember630\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__paragraph\">When I heard about the new US president&rsquo;s announcement &ndash; an AI project worth half a trillion dollars (!) &ndash; I asked myself: What&rsquo;s really new here? And above all: How do we in Europe react to this?<\/p>\n<p id=\"ember631\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__paragraph\">If it is now claimed that all of this would only be possible because of Trump, this fails to recognize that it is above all the way in which it is implemented that has shifted towards a highly risky and uncertain approach.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"ember632\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__heading-3\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"More_show_than_substance\"><\/span>More show than substance:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"ember633\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__paragraph\">What we see is more show than substance:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Financing is uncertain.<\/li>\n<li>No state funding.<\/li>\n<li>The project primarily serves the interests of OpenAI.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"ember635\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__paragraph\">Stargate may be staged as a visionary large-scale project, but the real challenge lies not in the show, but in the substance.<\/p>\n<p id=\"ember636\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__paragraph\">What we don&rsquo;t need is a rash, knee-jerk reaction that only serves the purpose of quick competition.<\/p>\n<p id=\"ember637\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__paragraph\">Instead, we as Europe need to develop a clear, sustainable strategy &ndash; one that strengthens our values, our economy and our society in the long term. Because when the hype surrounding projects like Stargate dies down, we should not fall back into passivity, but actively drive our own path forward.<\/p>\n<\/div><a class=\"fusion-modal-text-link\" data-toggle=\"modal\" data-target=\".fusion-modal.Spotify - Podcast Folge 23 - KI &amp; Wir - Stargate, Apollo, Elon Musk und der Kampf um die Zukunft - Rock the Prototype\" href=\"#\"><iframe class=\"lazyload\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%27100%27%20height%3D%27352%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%20100%20352%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%27100%27%20height%3D%27352%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/episode\/1aZMfshagpNHE0xdJBv11z?utm_source=generator\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/a>\n<div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-3\"><h2 id=\"ember638\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__heading-2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Our_starting_position_in_Europe_challenges_and_potential\"><\/span>Our starting position in Europe: challenges and potential<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3 id=\"ember639\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__heading-3\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_we_are_currently_lagging_behind\"><\/span>Where we are currently lagging behind:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"ember640\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__paragraph\">&#10145;&#65039; <strong>Reducing bureaucracy <\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"ember641\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__paragraph\">Europe&rsquo;s innovation potential is hampered by cumbersome bureaucratic processes that not only slow down funding programs, but also unnecessarily slow down companies and start-ups in the technology sector. More efficient approval procedures and less regulation could significantly accelerate innovation.<\/p>\n<p id=\"ember642\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__paragraph\">&#10145;&#65039; <strong>Lack of computing capacity <\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"ember643\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__paragraph\">In a global comparison, we do not have the powerful data centers that are required for large-scale AI models such as GPT or complex simulations. The USA and China dominate here with their investment power and infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p id=\"ember644\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__paragraph\">&#10145;&#65039; <strong>No sustainable investment model for research and innovation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"ember645\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__paragraph\">Europe&rsquo;s outstanding research often fails to find its way into practice. In Europe, we have so far failed to create a fair and sustainable model that not only enables state-funded innovation, but also allows taxpayers to share in its success. Patents are often exploited by the private sector without the public sector &ndash; and therefore society &ndash; benefiting from the profits. An approach that links state funding to fair profit-sharing could drive innovation in a targeted manner and at the same time ensure a fair distribution of profits.<\/p>\n<p id=\"ember646\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__paragraph\">&#10145;&#65039; <strong>No three-digit billion budgets for AI<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"ember647\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__paragraph\">In contrast to the USA and China, Europe lacks large sums of investment. But do we really always need billions for long-term and ambitious AI projects? Our funding models are fragmented and we lack a coordinated European initiative for massive AI funding.<\/p>\n<p id=\"ember648\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__paragraph\">Europe is not pursuing an approach based purely on &ldquo;money rules&rdquo;, as we see in the USA and China. Instead, we need sustainable and fair financing models that enable long-term innovation.<\/p>\n<p id=\"ember649\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__paragraph\">If the taxpayer helps to finance it, the assets generated should also benefit society. Our current funding model is fragmented and characterized by short-term thinking. There is a lack of a coordinated European initiative that combines massive AI funding with a sustainable feedback mechanism &ndash; for a fair distribution of profits and technological progress.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"ember650\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__heading-3\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_our_opportunities_lie_for_Germany_in_Europe\"><\/span>Where our opportunities lie for Germany in Europe:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"ember651\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__paragraph\"><strong>Top universities and trustworthy federated data landscapes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"ember652\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__paragraph\">Europe has some of the best universities and research institutions in the world. Our strength lies not in industrial data monopolies, but in the creation of trusting, federated data landscapes.<\/p>\n<p id=\"ember653\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__paragraph\">These make it possible to use data in accordance with consent and data sovereignty on a voluntary basis and with the consent of the user.<\/p>\n<p id=\"ember654\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__paragraph\">It is precisely this sovereign approach that not only strengthens data protection, but also creates the basis for ethically responsible and competitive AI solutions that do justice to European values.<\/p>\n<p id=\"ember655\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__paragraph\"><strong>Strong position in quantum computing <\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"ember656\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__paragraph\">With major initiatives such as the <a class=\"zIcAzKdyBxATZYJQoeJUJgsFIQGjWDrXhTrsxj \" href=\"https:\/\/www.hqic.de\/de\/about\/\" target=\"_self\" data-test-app-aware-link=\"\"><strong>Hamburg Quantum Innovation Lab<\/strong><\/a> and leading quantum computing centers in Germany, such as Forschungszentrum J&uuml;lich and the Fraunhofer Institute, Europe is already a major player in quantum research.
