Digital sovereignty and the cloud: how to make the most of collaboration with hyperscalers

La domanda crescente di storage e gestione di dati implica una ricerca parallela di soluzioni sostenibili dal punto di vista energetico: si sviluppano soluzioni offshore che uniscono le infrastrutture con l’eolico. Ma anche l’Italia potrebbe avere un ruolo da giocare nella partita

The growing demand for data storage and management is driving a parallel search for energy-sustainable solutions: offshore solutions are being developed that combine infrastructure with wind power. But Italia, too, could have a role to play in this arena

China kicks off the race for underwater (and more sustainable) data centres

The difficulties in implementing the new European regulations, which came into full effect in September, and the ruling that threatens the independence of the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) are once again complicating the landscape of data and cloud services regulation on both sides of the Atlantic

Amid the promises of the Data Act and transatlantic uncertainties, the issue of data portability remains

The battle for control over data is being fought on a legal front that is becoming increasingly complex, with rules that risk being incompatible. But it is the entire technological landscape that is at the heart of these sovereignty issues

The Cloud Act and European digital sovereignty: a conflict that remains unresolved

Companies are implementing individual projects without addressing the issue as part of a long-term strategy. Artificial intelligence offers opportunities for development, but the data is not always used effectively

Who manages access to data? The challenge of operational sovereignty

Gaia-X has established a robust framework of rules, standards and certifications that enable existing infrastructures to communicate within a shared space. However, it has chosen not to build a physical infrastructure capable of providing services

Europe’s big bet on the cloud remains without a data centre

Ahead of schedule, this historic milestone has recently been officially confirmed: the internet will never be the same again, with businesses and individuals having to adapt to the new ‘agent-driven’ era characterised by automated traffic. Without humans becoming irrelevant

It was France that realised that its citizens’ data was accessible to the US government and agencies. Protecting data sovereignty is becoming a strategic issue for Europe: European countries are adopting different approaches, but with a single objective

Sovereign cloud: Europe steps up its defences (but everyone is going their own way)

One year on from its entry into force, the European regulation remains an open question: the institutions are in place, as are the first codes of conduct, but Europe appears to be moving at different speeds when it comes to implementation

The AI Act, one year on: Europe takes stock of its artificial intelligence legislation

Agid and Acn are at the heart of the system for certification and market oversight. Restrictions are to be introduced on decisions relating to the labour market: the final decision rests with humans; the initial applications of biometrics are to be regulated, with a ban on blanket checks

Artificial intelligence is changing the rules of the game for digital infrastructure: it is not enough simply to have computing power; it must be in the right place. AI inference, the IoT and the density of 5G networks are shifting the focus towards the network’s periphery: this opens up opportunities for national players
