Recital 2
(2) Since 2021, when Council Regulation (EU) 2021/11734 was adopted, the field of artificial intelligence (AI) has seen enormous technical progress and become a highly strategic and contested domain globally. The Union is at the forefront of efforts to support ethical and responsible innovation in trustworthy AI, while setting guardrails and developing effective governance. __________________ 4 Council Regulation (EU) 2021/1173 of 13 July 2021 on establishing the European High Performance Computing Joint Undertaking and repealing Regulation (EU) 2018/1488 (OJ L 256, 19.7.2021, p. 3, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2021/1173/oj).

Recital 5
(5) The new objective would allow the Joint Undertaking to perform activities in the domains of upgrading or acquiring and operating AI- dedicated supercomputers or partitions of supercomputers to enable fast machine learning and training of large AI foundation models. The Joint Undertaking should also be allowed to create a new access mode to its computing resources in particular for AI startups, small and medium enterprises, higher education institutions, research centres and the wider scientific community active in AI and to develop dedicated AI applications, models and systems optimized to run on its supercomputers. Those changes would enable the Joint Undertaking to offer tailored computing power and services to nurture large-scale AI training and development and uptake in the Union, which is not feasible under the current Regulation.
