The Dutch government said on Thursday it had reached a deal with Nvidia for the supply of hardware and technological knowledge for a possible artificial intelligence (AI) facility. The Netherlands aims to build a facility where an AI ‘supercomputer’ can contribute to research and development, as part of broader EU projects to strengthen Europe’s digital economy. Last year the Dutch government set aside 204.5 million euros ($210 million) for investments in AI, while it also aims to use European subsidies.
