The European Commission has put forward the European technological sovereignty package, a set of measures to strengthen\u00a0the EU\u2019s capacity in semiconductors, artificial intelligence (AI), cloud and open source. It will help Europe become a leader in AI, strengthen its digital autonomy, and help build a more sustainable digital future.<\/p>\n
The package focuses on four key areas<\/p>\n
securing the semiconductor base for Europe\u2019s AI ambition \u2013 the\u00a0chips act 2.0 will help build capacity in cutting-edge semiconductor technologies, boost supply and demand, and support investmentunlocking the potential of Europe\u2019s cloud and AI capacity \u2013 the cloud and AI development act\u00a0will support research and innovation in cutting-edge and sustainable technologies, streamline conditions for deploying datacentres across the EU, and introduce a single EU-wide framework to assess cloud and AI sovereigntystrengthening digital autonomy through open source \u2013 the open source strategy will scale up open source alternatives in priority areas, invest in skills, start-ups and digital infrastructure, and support greater use of open source in public administrationsdigitalising Europe’s energy system, while ensuring sustainable digitalisation \u2013 the strategic roadmap for digitalisation and AI in the energy sector will ensure data centres are integrated into our energy system, accelerate the deployment of digital and AI solutions, and build sovereign and secure AI models for the energy sector<\/p>\n
These measures will enable Europe to become an\u00a0AI continent \u2013 that is to say, a global leader in the research, development and adoption of artificial intelligence. This new package fasts-tracks this ambition, protecting Europe\u2019s digital independence. The tech sovereignty package builds on and complements existing initiatives such as the Competitiveness Compass<\/a> and the Economic Security Strategy<\/a>.<\/p>\n For more information<\/p>\n Press release – Commission proposes tech sovereignty package to strengthen Europe’s digital autonomy and resilience<\/a><\/p>\n
