AbstractAbstract
On the sidelines of the AI Action Summit in Paris in February, the EU proposed plans such as InvestAI.Computing power, data, and model infrastructure are rising from enterprise tools to industrial policy, and design agencies need to re-evaluate their technology dependencies.
2025 Timeline and Evidence
EU official timeline record, InvestAI launched at the AI Action Summit in Paris on February 11, 2025.
Europe then continued to advance the AI factory and the AI Continental Action Plan.
Infrastructure choices affect cost, data location, model transparency, and vendor lock-in.
Industry observation Industry observation
The design industry used to think of AI purchases as software subscriptions, but now it’s more like a production infrastructure.Institutions need to determine which tasks are appropriate for the general model, and which involve sensitive data, public interest, or long-term assets, and retain a higher degree of control.
Design Response Design Response
01 Draw a dependency map of models, data, plug-ins, and deliverables.
Data sovereignty and migration requirements for public projects.
Compare costs, quality and governance burdens with small-scale real projects.
AURELIS observation
Infrastructure will not be a substitute for creativity, but it will determine who controls the idea, whether it can be audited, and whether it will be sustainable in the future.
