ALT-EDIC: Strategic Infrastructure for Linguistic AI Sovereignty (ec.europa.eu)

• Establishment of a shared European Language Data Space
• Training LLMs to support low-resource European languages
• Reduction of reliance on foreign AI training datasets

"The European Union has established the ALT-EDIC (Alliance for Language Technologies) to create a unified Language Data Space. This initiative aims to train Large Language Models (LLMs) on high-quality European data, ensuring linguistic diversity and preventing digital homogenization led by non-EU tech giants. It focuses on preserving cultural heritage while building a sovereign AI ecosystem."
