- Description: ECIPE's Fredrik Erixon and Dyuti Pandya argue the EU's draft Cloud and AI Development Act should define sovereignty as business control over data, not EU ownership. They warn its tiered assurance rules, which favour EU-owned suppliers, risk excluding competitive non-EU cloud providers.
