We do not have to accept childhoods shaped by algorithms.
We do not have to accept a system that fails our children.
Europe has the power to act.
To give children the time they need in the real world.
I will detail our proposal in my upcoming State of the Union address.

AI is the most important technology of our time.
Europe wants to become the first AI Continent.
For advanced healthcare, for the transport sector and so much more.
European AI Gigafactories will provide the necessary computing power to make this possible.
Together with our Member States, we are funding their construction with up to €10 billion, which are set to unlock at least €20 billion in private investements across the EU.
Together, we are building our technological sovereignty.

Claiming Europe can become the "AI Continent" with a €10B public investment contrasts sharply with reality.
Big Tech alone has invested over $1 TRILLION in AI infrastructure since 2023 (around 100 times the EU's funding).

We need age-appropriate restrictions on platforms.
This is not about whether children can access social media.
It is about when social media can access our children.
For a safer start online for every child ↓ nitter.cf/i/broadcasts/1aKbddzbW…

Russia’s war of aggression has crossed yet another line.
A Russian drone incursion struck a densely populated area in Romania, injuring civilians.
On EU territory.
We stand in full solidarity with Romania and its people.
As we continue strengthening our security and deterrence, especially on our Eastern border, we will keep increasing the pressure on Russia.
We are preparing a 21st package of sanctions.

Digital spaces provide immense benefits for learning and more.
But the risks for our children are real.
We must build a digital world in which they can grow up free and secure.
Protected by the values Europe stands for ↓ nitter.cf/i/broadcasts/1qJDzPjNr…

Tonight, we adorn our European institutions with the colours of Ukraine.
Two colours, carrying the spirit of courage.
Two colours, burning with resistance.
Four years into Russia’s full-scale war, these colours are shining brighter than ever
Slava Ukraini.

We are working on:

Today, at the Turin Tech Week, I see some of Italy's best and brightest.
I want them to thrive right here at home.
I want them to choose Europe.
And we will create the right conditions for it ↓ nitter.cf/i/broadcasts/1OwGWeDAg…

Europe’s independence is about protecting our freedoms.
And free press is the backbone of democracy.
We will launch a Media Resilience Programme to support journalism and media literacy.
And keep backing independent and local media - because corruption happens in the dark.

On 29 June 1985, European leaders chose a flag to represent a shared vision.
Twelve stars, not for nations but for unity, harmony and hope.
A symbol that has grown with us. From a sign of peace to a reflection of our values.
Today, we celebrate 40 years of the EU flag. 🇪🇺
