@cczona It doesn't look like an easy way out here for the EU if you think about the incentives at play.
There are already no big cloud providers in the EU so that ship has sailed and every European tech company/startup pays the price. There's also no way of catching up to the big players in terms of cloud anymore.
Now with AI they're probably fearing for the same to happen in case it will be the next big thing and that's why they want the EU to be part of it early on.
It's complicated.
@djh @cczona EU-based cloud providers may not be as big as the US ones but they do exist and nothing prevents European companies from using their services.
