The development of the next generation of frontier AI models is expected to require large-scale facilities with, at least, three to four times the number of the most advanced AI processors currently available in the most powerful AI factories, and taking into account power capacity, energy and water efficiency, and circularity. The existing mechanisms currently provided for under Regulation (EU) 2021/1173 are not sufficient to support the establishment and operation of the AI gigafactories. A targeted amendment is therefore necessary to provide the European High Performance Computing Joint Undertaking (the Joint Undertaking) with the legal basis needed to fulfil its commitments relating to the establishment and operation of AI gigafactories in Europe.
