Europe's plan against digital addiction - On artificial intelligence, chips, or cloud services
The Commission has presented a legal package for digital sovereignty. Europe aims to be less dependent on chip production outside the continent and to increase their production within the continent. Semiconductor production should be further boosted – companies will be attracted by cheaper energy and less bureaucracy. The existing EU law on semiconductors will be expanded with emergency measures. Critical areas such as the arms industry and medical technology will have priority in supply in the event of shortages.
The European Commission also aims to significantly accelerate the development of European cloud infrastructure. The goal is the same: less strategic dependence on China and especially the US, as Europe currently mainly uses American providers.
In addition, the EU plans an open source strategy: administrations and companies should not rely solely on traditional American providers, but gradually move away from them. European data centers should train the most modern artificial intelligence models in Europe, and not in Asia or America.
Europe is seeking to respond to Taiwan's dominance in advanced chip manufacturing. A new EU support package aims to help in this direction. The global technology market is moving away from free trade towards more fierce economic nationalism. In this situation, Europe can take the lead and act responsibly.
The 27 member states support at least one part of the package – the chip initiative. It responds to industry demands to increase production in Europe in order to avoid dependence on exports and blackmail in the event of shortages.
A major obstacle could be financing. A report on Europe's competitiveness estimates that an additional €800 billion is needed each year to keep pace with the US and China. The new package aims to mobilise private venture capital and foresees a new EU competitiveness fund in the next budget. Negotiations could last until 2027, with adoption likely by the end of next year.
