Baltic AI GigaFactory. A project important for the country's technological sovereignty
The Baltic AI GigaFactory project, which has so far connected Poland, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, aims to create an advanced computing center supporting the development and implementation of artificial intelligence models on an unprecedented scale. The investment cost is estimated at EUR 3 billion, of which 65 percent is to come from the private sector, and the remaining 35 percent from the public sector, half of which will be provided by the Baltic countries and the other half by the European Commission.
Anna Streżyńska, director of the Institute of Communications, where the gigafactory design office operates, noted that artificial intelligence is a key resource of the future, comparing it to “new energy and new steel”.
She pointed out that Poland currently buys 90 percent. computing power from external suppliers, which it does the Baltic AI GigaFactory project is important for the country's technological sovereignty. Streżyńska emphasized that each hour of the gigafactory's operation will be expensive, so it is crucial to identify the recipients of computing power in Poland and abroad in advance.
