[3/3] ✅ Europe needs to invest in its own cloud & AI ecosystem.

As #CADA takes shape, public procurement can help European providers grow and compete.

#DigitalSovereignty starts with choosing 🇪🇺 solutions.

[1/3] 🇪🇺Trading land and power for AI access is capitulation, not strategy.

Europe's dependence on overseas #AI providers is a problem. But fast-tracking Big Tech data centres in exchange for preferential access to their models risks making that dependency worse.

⚠️ The deal doesn't add up.

Europe would offer valuable land, energy and infrastructure without guaranteed access to the most advanced AI models.

As CISPE's Mikkel Brun Næsager argues, Europe risks paying more for less, while reinforcing its dependence on Big Tech.

5 years ago, CISPE & @Cigref_EN launched the 🔟 Principles of Fair Software Licensing for Cloud Customers.

The market has evolved, but the challenge remains. Fair licensing is essential to customer choice, innovation & competition in Europe’s cloud market.

[4/4] 🚩The lesson from Anthropic is clear: sovereignty cannot exist where the off-switch remains abroad.

Close these CADA loopholes before the next thing switched off is something Europe cannot do without.

[CISPE @cispe_cloud]

[1/4] ⚠️ @AnthropicAI disabled access to its most advanced AI models following an order from the US government.

No warning. No recourse.

A clear illustration of the risks that arise when technologies Europe increasingly relies on remain subject to foreign control.

🧵👇

[CISPE @cispe_cloud]

[3/4] One loophole excludes entities that can disrupt a service simply because they do not access sensitive data.

Another excludes critical software, platform, and infrastructure dependencies because they sit behind indirect contractual relationships.

⚠️ As Europe's cloud market fills with unverified "sovereign" offerings, customers deserve clarity.

The CISPE Sovereign & Resilient Cloud Services Framework that bring transparency to sovereignty claims through independently auditable standards.

Great to see MEP @RLanschot raising important questions about sovereignty, procurement & effective control in the #CADA debate.

CISPE has long argued these issues are key to Europe's tech sovereignty.

5/5 ⚠️ The current text contains loopholes that could allow foreign-controlled services to be repackaged and sold as sovereign offerings, undermining trust in the framework.

1/5 📢 CISPE welcomes yesterday's publication of the Cloud and AI Development Act (#CADA) as a step forward for Europe's strategic autonomy.

The @EU_Commission has clearly listened to many of the concerns raised by the European cloud sector.

However, challenges remain.

🧵👇

[CISPE @cispe_cloud]

4/5 ⚠️ The Act risks assessing sovereignty at a company level rather than a service level.

As with CISPE's Framework, sovereignty should be verified for the specific service being purchased, supported by transparent and independently audited information ✅.

[CISPE @cispe_cloud]

🇪🇺 How European is European AI really?

AI & cloud are inseparable. But can an AI solution truly be sovereign if it depends on non-European infrastructure?

CISPE Advisor Mikkel Næsager discusses the implications for digital sovereignty with @AiPortalen.
