I noticed similar discussions about the Web and mobile (iPhone era), as Europe fell behind the US lead in those sectors. As well as space (particularly with regards to SpaceX lapping everybody; the EU thinking it can discuss its way to creating a Starlink competitor most recently).

The take a decade to discuss what to do approach isn't going to cut it with how exceptionally fast AI is now moving. Europe is already losing badly. It'll take a gigantic move - and fast - to catch up.

If/when EU starts considering some move it is usually already too late and there are mostly half measures proposed anyway.

You can't decree inovation in central planning economy that EU is at heart..
