To finish, we have #Macron. #Sovereignty? Nah, what he wants is:

* less regulation
* a "smaller", "risk-based" #GDPR
* postpone 1 year the #AIAct obligations for big tech

With a straight face, he recommends these anti-sovereingty measures as things that somehow will be good for our tech sovereignty....

At least he puts emphasis on enforcing #DMA, and make sure that hyperscalers comply with it.

He also defends EU-first public procurement, but his examples are SAP and Mistral (and their non-interoperable solutions)...

Finally, he things it is important to speed up AI adoption, going as far as saying that next year instead of a digital sovereignty summit we'll have an AI summit...

No, not finally! To finish, he wants to "protect the children"! We all know where that one leads...

The afternoon didn't start better: we got a talk about the EUDI, with the implied idea that an "European ID" is automatically an example of digital sovereignty, when in fact what is being implemented isn't.

I could go further into it, but instead I'll leave here a link to the comment I was impelled to write on the EUDI project after the presentation:

The #EUDI panel was followed by Caroline Stage Olsen, Minister for Digital Affairs of Denmark. The tldr; of her keynote - which had two points of note: 1) "I support AI gigafactories" (because all that is shiny and new is something we should invest in), and "innovation is sovereignty" which is her way of saying that she wants to use the sovereignty topic not to talk about sovereignty but as an excuse to promote "innovation" - in that ideology brand that supports the idea that in order to innovate more we need to simplify and de-regulate...

Die Geschichte der #Digitalgipfel ist eine Geschichte voller Missverständnisse.

Heute findet in Berlin der Gipfel zur Europäischen Digitalen Souveränität statt.

Lobby-Veranstaltung oder ernstgemeinter Versuch die #EU unabhängig von #BigTech zu machen?

Wir sind für euch vor Ort und finden es raus.

#Merz #Macron
