The EU’s Tech Sovereignty Package Explained
Roberto von ArchimboldiI find myself irritated by talk of EU tech sovereignty. This is in part because I hate the EU with a passion. They drown my friends in the Mediterranean and fund their torture in Libya. I think that it goes deeper.
What is needed is not EU tech, but tech that belongs to us, or at least the working class. I don't care if it is programmed in Chennai, Changdou, Cracow or California. In fact, ideally, it would have contributors from all of those places. 'We' are not competing with the US or China. We are trying to find a way of sharing the world with others and solving the problems that the human condition throws at us in our various specificities. We can only do that through collaboration across national boundaries.
