But things are changing. The discussion about digital sovereignty started a year or two ago, and it's now gaining serious momentum. European alternatives are being developed left and right, and more and more companies are looking at reducing their dependence on American cloud providers.
I think this is a development that will continue regardless of who wins the next American general election in two years' time. Even if the US elects a moderate Democrat, a more traditional Republican or somebody in between, the direction in Europe has already been set.
I remember when we were talking about this topic... But isn't that a bit contradictory to the rest of what you said? EU, and now the US, are "against" data centers, but the EU wants sovereignty, which means more data centers have to be built... Maybe not for AI, but for storage, which isn't the same, but they are both data centers... 😃
And regarding elections and politics... I'm trying to be outside of it, but it's impossible to do it, as they (unfortunately) tailor our lives...
PS. Good to see your post in the feed... ;)
