Policy Simulation Report "Europe 2031" Warning: Europe Faces Marginalization Risks in the AI Era

The recently released policy simulation report "Europe 2031" points out that, due to shortages of computing power and reliance on external models, Europe may face economic and political marginalization in the global AI competition if major strategic adjustments are not made. The report believes that Europe currently accounts for only 5% of global AI computing power, lacking leverage in technological competition. Its advocated "technological sovereignty" may be difficult to achieve due to insufficient funding and policy lag, and there is even a risk that core technology companies (such as ASML) could lose autonomous control.
To address these challenges, the report proposes a series of countermeasures. It recommends that Europe mobilize large-scale public and private capital, focusing investments on foundational infrastructure such as energy, semiconductors, and data centers; and form technology alliances with countries like the UK and Japan to consolidate supply chain advantages and gain leverage in international negotiations. Additionally, the report calls for Europe to advance labor market reforms to adapt to AI proliferation and tighten foreign investment reviews of domestic manufacturing to solidify its existing advantages in industrial AI and robotics!
