The European Commission’s AI Continent Action Plan emphasizes the need to significantly expand cloud and data center capacity across the EU to support AI and digital infrastructure goals. The Cloud and AI Development Act aims to incentivize investment and triple current capacity within seven years. The insurance sector supports this approach but warns against restrictive sovereignty measures that could exclude non-EU providers without viable alternatives. It advocates for flexible, risk-based cloud definitions and support for hybrid strategies. The sector stresses that capacity-building, not protectionism, is key to achieving digital sovereignty while maintaining innovation, competitiveness, and international interoperability.

Insurance Europe urges a simpler, phased approach to the EU’s Financial Data Access (FIDA) framework to boost competitiveness. They highlight the need for clarity on data scope to protect sensitive information and a realistic timeline beyond the proposed 18 months for effective implementation.

The US-EU divide on #esg policies for businesses stems from differing economic factors, notably the US stock market's influence on retirement funds and the #us's oil production dominance versus the #eu's oil imports. To address this, a "Net Zero Transformation rating" should separate #climate concerns from other ESG aspects. Shifting corporate activism towards heavy users like utilities and key producers like car manufacturers, rather than focusing solely on fossil fuel producers, could accelerate a #netzerotransition.

This paper explores #digitalsovereignty in the #eu, examining two of its dimensions: #economic and #normative. Five obstacles are identified: private actors, foreign interference, a #ruleoflaw crisis, #digitalgovernance, and #digitalliteracy. The paper concludes by noting the hard balances needed in #digitalpolicy.

This study explores the use of #ai #foundationmodels, specifically #chatgpt, in #auditing #esgreporting for #compliance with the #eu #taxonomy.

This is a note on the #gdpr and the use of #us-based #cloudservers. The note raises concerns about the #risk of US #intelligenceagencies having access to #data transferred to any US cloud from the #eu, or directly accessed by US agencies, even while still in the EU / #eea or while in transit. The note discusses cases in #france, the #netherlands, and #germany that have addressed these issues, concluding that the legality of the use of US cloud servers and solutions remains problematic.

This paper explores the implementation of the #eu's #digitalservicesact (#dsa) with a specific focus on the #riskassessment and #riskmitigation regime outlined in Articles 34-35"
