#AIfactories

2025-04-29

The new "int'l digital strategy" of the EU says "decoupling [from the rest of the world] is unrealistic and cooperation will remain significant across the tech value chain."

This is a good start to acknowledge that #DigitalSovereignty cannot simply mean #BuyEuropean; it must increase the people's #sovereignty to use our tech the way we see fit. And invest in tech that reduces risks of centralisation, mass #surveillance, economic #corruption, and #exploitation.

And no, #AIFactories ain't it.

So far, most of the relevant data centres are in the US. So while Trump and Big Tech are cozying up, this will likely accelerate rather than be contained.

So what about the EU? The second von der Leyen EU-Commission is living the hype. Here the new digital commissioner #Virkkunen proudly announced the first batch of so called "#AIFactories" with more to come:

New awful tech word alert #DataCentres are being rebranded #AIFactories #publicsectorcloud24

The :europe: Brussels #AI #lobbying circus is in full swing and I fear that at least parts of the @EUCommission have already fully signed up the AI hype. 😳
