Europe's artificial intelligence sovereignty is under threat as the United States dominates global cloud infrastructure spending, according to discussions at a Brussels cloud summit reported by EurActiv.
Open-source advocates highlighted twin deficits facing the EU: insufficient scale in domestic AI development and limited control over critical computing infrastructure. The gap reflects Europe's struggle to build competitive alternatives to US-dominated platforms like Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure.
The findings raise questions about European strategic autonomy in AI technology and the continent's ability to develop independent digital capabilities amid US market dominance.
