When the EIB grants a €20B loan for AI infrastructure while its yearly budget is €100B, that effectively means one-fifth of its annual budget goes to AI infrastructure.
Public transport? Green energy? Social infrastructure? No. Instead, data centres operated by private consortia to potentially sell private services. I hope it will be at least to produce open-source models and software.

Tech News News: Microsoft has appointed Charlie Bell, its former security chief, as the company's new engineering quality head — less than a year after CEO Satya Nadella said AI writes 30% of its code. The move comes amid rising Windows 11 bugs, underwhelming Copilot adoption, and growing evidence that AI-generated code introduces more errors than it eliminates.
