(34)

Given the unprecedented scale of resources required for frontier AI development, it is
            necessary to set criteria for the designation of a project as a frontier AI priority project.
            Such projects should support the development and scaling-up of frontier AI
            technologies, notably in the sector of cybersecurity. In view of their technical
            complexity and capital-intensive nature, the projects require a collaborative approach
            at Union level. It is therefore appropriate to require them to involve broad participation
            from entities across the Union, in particular through EDICs established pursuant
            Decision (EU) 2022/2481 or any other legal structure capable of representing a
            meaningful share of the Union’s interest.
