EU wants to favour European firms for most sensitive cloud, AI contracts

The EU on Wednesday proposed favouring European companies in public contracts for cloud computing and AI services in the most sensitive sectors as part of a bigger package to cut reliance on foreign firms. EU tech chief Henna Virkkunen insisted that "we are not closing anyone out" but told journalists that for "very critical" sectors like defence it was "very important" that Europeans provide the services.
