      This article is about a group of computer scientists in Europe who have come together to form a laboratory that is focused on AI. Their laboratory is called ELLIS and they plan for it to teach students about an AI called machine learning, "while building bridges between universities and companies in the region."Also many AI researchers end up working in US tech companies or universities. Bernhard Scholkopf, director of the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems, had responded to this by stating, "Europe will fall behind if they don’t up their game and invest much more heavily." He wants Europe to have the highest leading tech in AI and to be an outlier to China.

      To me, having the younger generation start learning about AI at their age, they can grow to enhance the current AI technology within the European arsenal. With Europe trying to enhance AI, we can expect many more features for bots to come out. For example, AI like Siri, Cortana and Alexa could be further developed to be more human-like. The upgrades that happen to them would be a result as to what scientists like these have brought up together. AI research could help society by making it more interactive with the technology we have in our modern day. Soon phones will be really cheap and so people will be able to have such AI like Siri on their phone to guide them as to what they want to do. Competition between nations to make better technology only drives them all to do better, all to see who can make the bigger change to their nation.
