Among others, a marketplace for AI-based solutions for the agri-food sector will be introduced and funding will be devoted to capacity building in the development of agriculture specific foundation models (e.g., LLMs). AI is already reshaping agricultural production and can transform the way food is produced, benefiting the environment, climate and people. AI supports farmers, for instance through AI-driven advisory tools and handy applications that turn data into tailored recommendations. These help producers to make better and faster decisions accounting for local conditions, and increasing resource efficiency, e.g. saving water, and effectiveness. A new wave of opportunities is emerging, boosting precision farming, powering robots, and smartening machinery for field work. AI can also contribute to reducing reporting obligations and other administrative burdens. Climate & Environment AI has a long track record in environmental monitoring, forecasting, and Earth observation. It can enhance early-warning systems and aid disaster response as well as decision-making for resilience and climate preparedness. Ground-breaking initiatives such as Destination Earth provide high-resolution and interactive simulations with unprecedented predictive power through AI-driven applications.

AdobeStock ©myboys The panel, announced in the 2025 State of the Union address, will provide expert recommendations to better protect and empower children online and will explore the need for potential harmonised age restrictions to access social media. President Ursula von der Leyen said: For decades, we have made the real world safer for children and we must do the same in the digital world. The positive opportunities that technology offers cannot come at the cost of their safety, health or happiness. In Europe, tech platforms already have a responsibility to ensure the safety of users and we will continue to ensure they do so. But we must also do more to protect and empower our young people online. That is why I have convened this panel: to forge a strong, realistic, European approach to keep our children safe in the digital age.
