    Classification evidence

    • Relevance class: AI-related precursor · Office for Official Publications of the European Communities · Identity panel; Articles 1 and 9; Annex I RTD activities — The annex funds neural networks, knowledge-based systems, pattern recognition, intelligent machinery and intelligent control. The cited provisions do not explicitly use the term artificial intelligence, so the named precursor technologies satisfy the first applicable precursor class.
    • Sector tags: Research and innovation · Office for Official Publications of the European Communities · Identity panel; Articles 1 and 9; Annex I RTD activities — The decision establishes a specific RTD programme with detailed technical areas.
    • Sector tags: Industry and manufacturing · Office for Official Publications of the European Communities · Identity panel; Articles 1 and 9; Annex I RTD activities — The annex ties intelligent control and machinery to manufacturing and industrial competitiveness.
    • Provenance tags: Authored by an EU institution · Office for Official Publications of the European Communities · Identity panel; Articles 1 and 9; Annex I RTD activities — EUR-Lex Document information explicitly identifies the Council of the European Union as Author. Adoption by the Council and proposal by the Commission of the European Communities remain separately recorded roles.
    • Provenance tags: Officially published · Office for Official Publications of the European Communities · Identity panel; Articles 1 and 9; Annex I RTD activities — EUR-Lex identifies OJ L 334, 22 December 1994, pp. 24-46.
