Today I learned: Arm Holdings - the makers of the ARM #CPU architecture - is based in the UK 😮 And now they're even starting to make their own CPU designs, namely the Arm AGI CPU. It excites me to see this stuff, from a #European #techsovereignty perspective!

The #EU’s new #AIAct enforcement powers, effective Sunday, allow the Commission to inspect #AImodels, restrict #marketaccess, and fine providers. This could impact US companies like #Anthropic, #OpenAI, and #Google, as the EU aims to build #techsovereignty and address potential #AIrisks. The powers apply to any company offering a general-purpose AI model in the EU, regardless of location. https://www.cnbc.com/2026/08/03/eu-ai-act-enforcement-powers.html?eicker.news #tech #news #ainews

The #EU launched a call for tenders to establish up to seven #AIGigafactories across #Europe, aiming to boost #computingcapacity and #techsovereignty. The initiative, supported by up to €10 billion in funding, will unlock private investment and provide access to #infrastructure for #AI model development. The #Gigafactories will combine #advancedprocessors, #software, and #cloudtechnology, following #EUstandards on #dataprotection and #ethics. https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_26_1708?eicker.news #tech #news #ainews

in any future debates about digital autonomy (or sovereignty, if anyone prefers that definition), there has to be an understanding it's not just about who & where developed software, but also its transparency & links.
OCCRP's investigation about password manager developed in Spain & used by some EU gov'ts is another proof of that. https://www.occrp.org/en/investigation/european-password-manager-shares-origins-and-updates-with-state-certified-russian-firm

Public money should be spent on public code that benefits us all.
Our report shows the benefits of shifting from a one way dependence on US tech giants to shared technology.
We need a Digital Sovereignty strategy based on Open Source systems, open standards and open hardware.

We must end the UK's digital subservience to US tech.
It has put the systems that underpin our public services and the State at risk of digital ransom from US powers of service withdrawal or data extraction.
We need a Digital Sovereignty strategy based on open source.

UK digital sovereignty, if done right, could ensure we have a thriving software ecosystem.
Ecological digital sovereignty is where digital systems are diverse, interoperable, locally adaptable, and not controlled by any single point of power.

Open source ≠ sovereignty.
It just changes *where* the dependency lives.
Proprietary: your fate is a vendor's SLA.
Open source: your fate is a maintainer's inbox.Sovereignty is about the structure of that dependency — not the license text.
