German think tank IFO said on Tuesday that if access to artificial intelligence training data is further restricted, Germany may lose 155 billion euros of additional added value every year. IFO research shows that by 2034, generative artificial intelligence can add 440 billion euros of production value to the German economy every year, but if access to training data is restricted, this increase will decrease by 155 billion euros. IFO expert Oliver Falck said, “Anyone who wants to build a leading European artificial intelligence model should not set unnecessary restrictions on access to training data. You can't have both.”
