The new objective would allow the Joint Undertaking to perform activities in the domains of acquiring and operating AI-optimised supercomputers or partitions of supercomputers to enable machine learning and training of general purpose AI models. The Joint Undertaking should be allowed to create a new access mode to its computing resources for the AI startup ecosystem and the research and innovation ecosystem and to develop dedicated AI applications that are optimised to run on its supercomputers. The Joint Undertaking should also be allowed to appoint existing European High Performance Computing hosting entities as AI factories if the hosting entity can demonstrate that its supercomputer has enough computing resources for training large scale and general-purpose AI models and emerging AI applications, and provided that the hosting entity implements the full range of additional activities necessary to develop and support the AI ecosystem. Those changes would enable the Joint Undertaking to offer tailored computing power and services to nurture large-scale AI training, development and uptake in the Union, which is not feasible under the current Regulation. AI factories should interact with one another and with relevant AI initiatives of the Union, and, where applicable, AI factories can interact with relevant national AI ecosystems and national AI initiatives.
