In the fast-paced world of AI adoption, Martin Hosken, Field CTO – Cloud Providers at Broadcom, emphasizes the urgency for Europe to implement sovereign cloud models to keep up with technological advancements.
Europe faces the challenge of balancing its ambition for a competitive digital economy with the reality of relying on non-European cloud infrastructure, especially for technologies like AI. The need for a cloud ecosystem that promotes innovation while ensuring data autonomy and regulatory compliance is becoming increasingly crucial.
With the exponential growth of data generation in the zettabyte era, the demand for sovereign cloud solutions in Europe is on the rise. Striking a balance between cloud innovation and data control is essential, as laws like GDPR and DORA drive the push for sovereignty and localization in the digital landscape. Collaborative efforts between providers, policymakers, and businesses are crucial in achieving this balance.
