Accelerating AI uptake in Europe
OpenAI NewsOpenAI 与 Allied for Startups 今天发布了《Hacktivate AI 报告》（链接）——汇集了 20 条旨在加速人工智能在欧洲广泛采用并提升欧盟竞争力的建议。该报告发布时机正值欧盟委员会预计将在数日后公布其 Apply AI Strategy（推动人工智能应用战略），该计划旨在鼓励在企业和公共部门真正应用人工智能。
在欧洲，对 OpenAI 技术的需求已十分可观，欧盟成员国在我们的全球市场中位列订阅用户、API 开发者和企业客户的前列。每天都有个人、开发者、机构、初创公司和大型企业在使用 OpenAI 的工具——尤其是我们免费提供的工具——为整个欧洲创造经济机会，从与赛诺菲（Sanofi）合作加速开发拯救生命的医疗治疗，到涌现以 Parloa 和 Pigment 为代表的新一代 AI 驱动型公司，推动欧洲初创生态繁荣。
我们发起 Hacktivate AI，作为首创的政策黑客马拉松，旨在借助现有的采用势头，推动更广泛的普及。上周在布鲁塞尔，65 名参与者——包括来自欧盟机构与国家政府、大型企业、中小企业、初创公司、经济学家和 AI 专家——聚集一堂，设计切实可行的方案，帮助欧洲在人工智能领域取得领先。
该报告汇编了黑客马拉松中提出的 20 条建议，内容涵盖帮助人们学习新技能以更好发展、让各行业更易采用 AI，以及减少繁文缛节以便让欧洲单一市场真正受益等方面。
这些建议包括：设立“个人 AI 学习账户”以在职业发展中赋能个人（建议 1）、建立“AI 冠军网络”以鼓励中小企业采用 AI（建议 3）、以及通过“欧洲政府 AI 中心”（European GovAI Hub）为公共部门提供共享资源（建议 12）。许多建议反复强调简化，例如呼吁推进“不懈统一”（Relentless Harmonisation，建议 15）以推动数字单一市场的进展。
OpenAI 的欧盟 AI 政策负责人 Martin Signoux 表示：“Hacktivate AI 将欧洲领先企业、民间社会与公共机构的能量汇聚在一起，目标是弥合欧盟在 AI 愿景与现实之间的差距。显而易见，要实现广泛采用，需要采取有意义的干预措施，帮助欧洲的企业和组织在各行各业将 AI 落到实处。我们希望欧盟的 Apply AI Strategy 能实现同样的目标，把欧洲的雄心转化为具体行动。”
该报告也建立在 OpenAI 在欧洲更广泛工作的基础上，从《欧盟经济蓝图》到我们今年早些时候对《通用人工智能行为准则》的支持（endorsement）。报告反映了一个越来越强烈的共识：欧洲必须加大力度支持创新者、建设者和企业家，推动 AI 采用——这一紧迫性也在 Mario Draghi 针对欧洲竞争力的一周年报告中得到呼应。
OpenAI 关于 ChatGPT 在工作场所使用的另一项研究显示，尽管 AI 采用在加速，但仍然存在不均衡——尤其是在已经数字化成熟的行业与仍在适应的行业之间。IT 与金融领先，其次是制造业，显示出更广泛的数字化转型，但其他行业则落后。这些发现强调了针对性干预的重要性，以帮助各行业的组织将 AI 纳入日常工作。
与此同时，通过 OpenAI Academy 等计划（已为超过 200 万人提供免费 AI 学习资源），我们在投入让 AI 技能更易获得。我们也在与各国政府和合作伙伴合作——从德国到希腊——推动公共部门、教育等领域的 AI 采用。
Hacktivate AI 是我们这一路程中的最新一步。未来数月乃至数年，我们将继续与公私部门伙伴合作，使人工智能成为欧洲共同的成功范例，为大陆带来繁荣与进步。
OpenAI and Allied for Startups today announced the release of the Hacktivate AI report—a collection of 20 ideas to accelerate broad-based AI adoption in Europe and boost the bloc’s competitiveness. The release comes just days before the European Commission is expected to unveil its Apply AI Strategy, a plan to encourage the real use of AI across business and the public sector.
There is already significant demand for OpenAI technology in Europe with EU Member States ranking amongst our top markets globally for subscribers, API developers and business customers. Every day, people, developers, institutions, start-ups and leading enterprises are using OpenAI’s tools—and primarily, our freely available tools—to create economic opportunities for themselves and others throughout the continent, from speeding up the development of life-saving medical treatments with Sanofi, to building a thriving European start-up ecosystem with a new generation of AI-fueled companies like Parloa and Pigment.
We launched Hacktivate AI as a first-of-its-kind policy hackathon to build on the momentum of adoption and accelerate wider uptake. Last week in Brussels, 65 participants—including representatives from EU institutions and national governments, large enterprises, SMEs, startups, economists, and AI specialists—came together to design real, workable ideas to help Europe lead in AI.
The report compiles 20 ideas developed during the hackathon, from helping people learn new skills to thrive, to making it easier for every sector to use AI, and cutting red tape so Europe’s single market can really benefit.
The ideas include the introduction of an Individual AI Learning Account to empower individuals on their professional journey (Proposal 1), the creation of an AI Champions Network to encourage AI adoption by SMEs (Proposal 3), or shared resources for the public sector through a European GovAI Hub (Proposal 12). A recurring theme across many proposals is simplification, including a call for Relentless Harmonisation (Proposal 15) to advance the Digital Single Market.
Martin Signoux, EU AI Policy Lead at OpenAI, said, “Hacktivate AI brought together the energy of Europe’s leading businesses, civil society, and public institutions with the goal to close the gap between the bloc’s AI ambition and reality. It’s clear that achieving broad-based adoption will require meaningful interventions that help Europe’s businesses and organisations put AI to work in all walks of life. We hope that the EU’s Apply AI Strategy will deliver on the same goal and translate Europe’s ambition into concrete action.”
The report builds on OpenAI’s broader work in Europe, from the EU Economic Blueprint to our endorsement of the General-Purpose AI Code of Practice earlier this year. It reflects the growing belief that Europe must double down on AI adoption by supporting innovators, builders, and entrepreneurs—an urgency echoed by Mario Draghi in the first anniversary of his report on European competitiveness.
Separate research by OpenAI about ChatGPT usage at work shows that while AI adoption is accelerating, it remains uneven—particularly between sectors that are already digitally mature and those still adapting. IT and finance lead the way, followed by manufacturing which points to a broader digital transformation but other industries lag behind. These findings underline the importance of targeted interventions to help organisations from across the economy make AI part of their daily work.
Meanwhile, through initiatives like OpenAI Academy, which has already supported over 2 million people with free AI learning resources, we are investing in making AI skills more accessible. We are also working with governments and partners—from Germany to Greece—to boost AI adoption in the public sector, education, and beyond.
Hacktivate AI is our latest step on this journey. Over the coming months and years, we will continue to work with public and private partners to make AI a collective European success story and source of prosperity and progress for the continent.
