A paper tiger aiming for the moon. Can Germany make AI?
summary
A policy‑research conversation argues Germany should force platform APIs to platforms for vetted researchers and journalists (access via NGOs, not state control), create five excellence clusters instead of 16, and launch a flexible €400M innovation fund matched by private money while enabling regulatory sandboxes for rapid experiments. Concrete fixes noted: lift salary caps that block foreign talent, focus on multilingual B2B NLP strengths, use GDPR as an advantage, and prefer decentralized technical designs (example: contact‑tracing debate) rather than grand consumer platforms.
