How jurisdictions differ
What is distinctive in each definition, binding law in force first.
| Jurisdiction | Instrument | Status | What is distinctive |
|---|---|---|---|
| Catalonia, Spain | Catalonia AI 2030 Strategy | In Force | Emphasizes advanced chip development, large-scale storage, and technology transfer to strategic sectors beyond just compute. |
| Czech Republic | Prague Declaration on Artificial Intelligence | In Force | Highlights interoperability with regional and EU computing resources, treating them as strategic assets. |
Definitions (2)
Ambitious infrastructure projects described in the strategy comprising massive data centers and high-performance computing facilities designed to train advanced AI models and foster technology transfer to strategic sectors. These facilities include provisions for advanced chip development, large-scale storage and compute capacity to support generative AI and other resource-intensive workloads.
AI Gigafactories are larger-scale infrastructure arrangements that support advanced AI development, training, and deployment. The declaration treats them as strategic assets that should interoperate with other regional and EU computing resources.
Not to be confused with
AI Factory is a national compute environment, while AI Gigafactories are larger-scale arrangements.
AI Competence Centers focus on R&D in specific domains, unlike the broader infrastructure of AI Gigafactories.
