The necessity of developing Polish supercomputing infrastructure, training personnel, and ensuring companies have access to Polish AI solutions was discussed by Marek Magryś, Director of ACC Cyfronet AGH, in an interview with Dziennik Polski.
The statement not only presents the main assumptions behind the construction of the Gaia Artificial Intelligence Factory in Krakow but also broadly outlines the technological, social, and economic background for the development of such initiatives in Poland and Europe.
AI Factories are Europe's response to the technological race. They are ecosystems built around public supercomputers of the EuroHPC network, combining three pillars of innovation: computing power, data, and talent.
- emphasizes Marek Magryś -The Gaia AI Factory is the first factory in Krakow's history that has no chimney, yet powers the entire surrounding area. Its "production line" runs on the best of human potential – on ideas. We merely provide the energy for these ideas to materialize on a scale that individual research teams could previously only dream of.
The interview also explores the topic of Poland's digital sovereignty and the role played by Polish language models, Bielik and PLLuM, developed on Cyfronet's infrastructure. Additionally, it presents the supercomputers currently operating at Cyfronet, along with an outline of the center's history and mission.
