The European Commission has proposed new laws and strategies to reduce the EU’s dependence on foreign technology across semiconductors, cloud computing, AI, and open-source software, framing technological sovereignty as a security priority. The package includes Chips Act 2.0, the Cloud and AI Development Act, and open-source funding aimed at strengthening EU resilience against supply-chain and jurisdictional risks, with concerns highlighted by incidents such as the XZ Utils backdoor. #XZUtils #ChipsAct2_0 #CADA #ASML #TSMC #GaiaX
