AI therapy bots fuel delusions and give dangerous advice, Stanford study finds
Popular chatbots serve as poor replacements for human therapists, but study authors call for nuance.
A German consortium including Deutsche Telecom, SAP, Ionos, and Schwarz Group are considering a joint application to the European Union for funding to build one of Europe’s largest AI data centres, according to German newspaper Handelsblatt.
Discussions between the partners surrounding ownership of the proposed German ‘gigafactory’ are currently underway.
“It can only work in partnership, that’s quite clear. Which model is the right one is currently being discussed,” said SAP board member Thomas Saueressig at the Technology Experience Convention Heilbronn (TECH) earlier this month.
The initiative is part of the EU Commission’s “InvestAI”, a plan launched in February this year to boost European AI capabilities through €200 billion in investments, including the creation of five AI gigafactories by 2026.
Each facility is expected to house around 100,000 advanced AI chips and focus on training models for technical scientific fields, like medicine. The EU proposes a public-private partnership model, with up to 35% of each gigafactory project supported by public funding.
The deadline for expressions of interest is the end of next month.
“The window of opportunity to create our own independent infrastructure for this is now,” Christine Knackfuss-Nicolic, CTO of Deutsche Telekom’s T-Systems division, told Reuters. “Rarely before have the signs and the common will in Europe been as strong as they are today.”
“In principle, we see the European Commission’s initiative as an important step towards greater digital sovereignty, and are interested in participating in it,” added Ionos in a statement.
