Rethinking tech sovereignty
SUPPORTED BY
IT'S MONDAY, SO THIS MUST BE DIGITAL POLITICS. I'm Mark Scott, and am continuing my Euro-trash existence here in Geneva where I'm moderating a panel on March 24 on tech sovereignty and data governance. Watch along here from 12:30 CET / 11:30 UK / 7:30 ET.
Talking of events, I'll also be co-hosting a tech policy meet-up in hipster East London on March 27 at 6:30pm. There are a few spots left for this (free) event. Sign up here.
— We're living through an era of 'tech sovereignty.' No one knows what that concept means — and that's quickly turning into a problem.
— Brussels forced Apple to open up to competitors. That's going to help many US firms that, in principle, oppose the bloc's competition revamp.
— In what must be the least-shocking fact about the latest AI models, almost none of the data used to train these systems comes from Global Majority countries.
Let's get started.
