The risks Europe faces are similar to those we face here in Canada: dependence on west Asia for hardware, dependence on the U.S. for software. By now we are all aware how quickly conditions can change. This led to the development of this policy, released today by the European Commission. It begins by stating clearly (and correctly) "Technological sovereignty is thus grounded in openness, partnership and fair competition. It does not mean isolation, protectionism, or tech decoupling." The model proposed "includes four initiatives: the Chips Act 2.0, the Cloud and AI Development Act, the open source strategy, and the Digitalisation and AI in Energy Roadmap. These form a cohesive framework, together with existing initiatives, to move towards the goal of creating a 'European technology stack'." We would do well to emulate this approach, to the extent we are able. See more on DT.
