The new digital paradigm

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

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

L’intelligenza artificiale cambia le regole del gioco delle infrastrutture digitali: non basta avere potenza di calcolo, bisogna averla nel posto giusto. L’inferenza AI, l’IoT e la densità delle reti 5G sposta il focus verso la periferia della rete: per i player nazionali si aprono opportunità

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

Edge computing: proximity as a new competitive advantage

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

The major telecoms companies are facing a strategic dilemma on which their future depends: in the face of competition from Big Tech, a paradigm shift is taking place that is driving them to leverage their network infrastructure to offer integrated services, ranging from security to the cloud and the edge

The new challenge facing telecoms companies: moving beyond connectivity to become ‘ecosystem orchestrators’

Unlike the United States and China, the EU has opted for a shared data system, rather than one concentrated in the hands of a few. However, the integrated regulatory framework is struggling to translate into operational infrastructure and actual data flows

The Single Data Market: a mixed picture for Europe

On grounds of “national security”, Washington has ordered a ban on foreign nationals, and the company has complied. The measure once again highlights Europe’s dependence on American technology

The US government halts the launch of Anthropic’s advanced AI models; alarm bells ring in Brussels

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
