推动欧洲AI普及，OpenAI智囊团献策20条
布鲁塞尔，[发布日期] – 在欧盟委员会即将发布其“应用AI战略”之际，人工智能领军企业OpenAI与初创企业联盟（Allied for Startups）今日联合发布了一份名为《Hacktivate AI》的报告。该报告汇集了20项创新提案，旨在加速人工智能在欧洲的广泛应用，并提升欧盟在全球范围内的竞争力，为欧洲的AI未来描绘了具体路线图。
据悉，OpenAI技术在欧洲市场已表现出强劲需求，欧盟成员国在全球OpenAI订阅用户、API开发者及企业客户中均位列前茅。OpenAI强调，目前已有大量欧洲用户，包括个人、开发者、机构、初创企业和行业巨头，正积极利用其工具（特别是免费工具）创造经济价值。例如，赛诺菲（Sanofi）正借助AI加速救命药物的研发，而像Parloa和Pigment等新兴欧洲初创企业则在AI驱动下蓬勃发展。
这份报告的成果源于OpenAI发起的一项名为“Hacktivate AI”的政策“黑客松”活动。上周，65位来自欧盟机构、各国政府、大型企业、中小企业、初创公司、经济学家和人工智能专家齐聚布鲁塞尔，共同为欧洲在AI领域的领先地位出谋划策，设计出了一系列切实可行的创新方案。
报告中的20项建议涵盖了多个层面，包括：赋能个人学习新技能以适应AI时代发展；简化各行各业使用AI的流程；以及削减繁文缛节，以确保欧洲统一市场能够真正受益于AI。具体提案亮点包括：
- 个人AI学习账户（提案1）：旨在支持个人职业发展，赋能其掌握AI技能。
- AI领军者网络（提案3）：鼓励中小企业采纳AI技术。
- 欧洲政府AI中心（提案12）：为公共部门提供共享AI资源。
“报告中反复出现的一个主题是‘简化’，其中包括‘不懈的标准化’（提案15）这一建议，旨在推动数字单一市场的发展，”OpenAI欧盟AI政策负责人马丁·西格努瓦（Martin Signoux）评论道，“‘Hacktivate AI’活动汇聚了欧洲领先企业、公民社会和公共机构的能量，旨在弥合欧盟AI雄心与现实之间的差距。要实现广泛的AI普及，显然需要有意义的干预措施，帮助欧洲的企业和组织将AI应用到生活的方方面面。我们希望欧盟的‘应用AI战略’能达成同样的目标，将欧洲的雄心转化为具体行动。”
此份报告是OpenAI在欧洲持续努力的最新成果，此前OpenAI已发布了“欧盟经济蓝图”，并于今年早些时候签署了《通用人工智能行为准则》。报告反映出一种日益增长的共识：欧洲必须加倍投入AI应用，支持创新者、建设者和创业者。这一紧迫性也得到了马里奥·德拉吉（Mario Draghi）在其欧洲竞争力报告发布一周年时的呼应。
OpenAI的另一项独立研究显示，尽管AI应用正在加速，但其普及程度仍然不平衡，尤其是在数字化成熟行业和仍在适应的行业之间。IT和金融行业处于领先地位，制造业紧随其后，这表明更广泛的数字化转型正在进行中，但其他行业则有所滞后。这些发现凸显了有针对性的干预措施的重要性，以帮助经济体系中各个领域的组织将AI融入日常工作。
与此同时，OpenAI正通过“OpenAI学院”等项目，提供免费AI学习资源，已帮助超过200万人掌握AI技能，持续投资降低AI技能门槛。OpenAI还与德国、希腊等国政府及合作伙伴携手，共同推动AI在公共部门、教育及其他领域的应用。
《Hacktivate AI》报告是OpenAI在此征程上的最新一步。未来数月乃至数年，OpenAI将继续与公共及私营合作伙伴紧密协作，致力于使AI成为欧洲大陆实现繁荣与进步的集体成功故事。

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(opens in a new window)

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 [/global-affairs/openais-eu-economic-blueprint/] to our endorsement
[/global-affairs/eu-code-of-practice/] 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.

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 [/global-affairs/openai-for-germany/] to Greece
[/global-affairs/openai-for-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.
