EU auditors examined whether AI funding matched Europe’s ambitions
A 2024 review looked at coordination, investment and how the Commission tracked results.
The European Court of Auditors assessed the EU's effort to build an artificial intelligence ecosystem in a 2024 special report. The review examined the Commission's plans, its coordination with member states and its efforts to encourage investment.
The audit distinguished spending commitments from evidence about what the spending achieved. It found weaknesses in coordination and monitoring. For a programme spanning public research, private companies and many governments, common targets and consistent reporting help officials see where investment is taking place and where gaps remain.
