• The US and the EU announced an agreement to use artificial intelligence to boost the electric grid, healthcare, and agriculture.
• The project will increase access for governments to more in-depth and data-rich.
• AI models, resulting in improved emergency response times and grid management.

On Friday, the United States and the European Union announced an agreement to accelerate and strengthen the use of artificial intelligence to boost the electric grid, healthcare, emergency response, and agriculture.

Before it was formally announced, a senior US administration official described the project as the first comprehensive AI deal between the US and Europe. In the past, agreements on the subject had only covered particular topics, such improving privacy, the official claimed.

The speed and effectiveness of government operations and services could be increased with the use of artificial intelligence (AI) modelling, which refers to machine-learning algorithms that use data to make logical judgements.

The senior administration official stated, “The secret here is in establishing joint models (while) leaving data where it is. The US data stays in the US, and the European data stays in Europe, but we can create a model that communicates with both sets of data since the model becomes better as more and more diverse data are added.

According to an administration official, the project will increase access for governments to more in-depth and data-rich AI models, resulting in improved emergency response times and grid management, among other advantages.

The official pointed to the electric system and explained that the country gathers information on how power is used, where it is produced, and how to balance the load on the grid so that weather fluctuations do not cause it to go offline.

According to the official, many European nations gather comparable data regarding their own grids. For emergency managers, grid operators, and others who rely on AI to improve systems, the new cooperation would allow all of that data to be channelled into a single AI model, improving results.

The White House and the European Commission, the executive branch of the 27-member European Union, are the only parties to the cooperation at the moment. In the upcoming months, other nations will be invited to join, according to the senior administration official.
