The report made 150 recommendations organised around four priorities: establishing a favourable ecosystem for AI research and talent; opening data for AI development; adapting public policy and regulation; and ensuring the ethical and inclusive development of AI. The government committed €1.5 billion under the strategy, with subsequent funding rounds allocating additional resources to AI research, training, and industrial deployment.</p>
