The European Commission has announced the 'Apply AI' strategy, a 1.1 billion dollar plan to encourage the use of artificial intelligence in key industries and reduce dependence on external technologies.

The 'Apply AI' strategy aims to intensify the use of artificial intelligence in areas such as health, energy, and defense, with the goal of reducing the European Union's dependence on American and Chinese technologies. The plan includes measures such as the establishment of advanced health screening centers and the expansion of AI use in manufacturing industries. Funding will come from EU research programs, and the Commission hopes to attract additional investments from member states and the private sector.
