This morning at Open Source Summit Europe in Amsterdam, Gabriele Columbro gives a compelling keynote reiterating the significance of #opensource as a critical pathway to building sovereign digital systems. His message is as significant for Europe as it is for regions the world over. His message is supported by numerous studies. First, Open Source as Europe's Strategic Advantage report reveals how governments and industries increasingly see OSS as a lever for digital sovereignty, collaboration, and innovation, with initiatives like Germany’s Sovereign Tech Agency reshaping investment. >>Open Source as Europe’s Strategic Advantage https://lnkd.in/gAVy4Z76 Second, domain-specific sovereign technologies are on the rise, none more so than in #AI. A groundbreaking report from LF AI & Data, LF Research, & Futurewei reveals that global collaboration through open source is paramount to accelerate #SovereignAI initiatives. >>The State of Sovereign AI https://lnkd.in/gKPHdq-4 Stay connected and engaged in #opensource projects and communities to accelerate your country or region's sovereign digital journey.

Cybersecurity is one of the key pillars of trust that makes the digital economy work but, due to new architectures for building and running web apps, and the rise of AI-specific threats, we need better solutions to keep products safe. Myself and Plural are co-leading an $8.3 million Series A into Arcjet a startup founded by developer and repeat founder David Mytton, that’s building technology to combat these modern risks, with a simple solution that’s already proving its worth among software engineers. Cybersecurity has traditionally worked by putting up a wall in front of your application to filter malicious activity from legitimate use but, in today’s serverless web development world where products run closer to the consumer on the edge, a single protection layer no longer works. Until now, security teams have had to create their own, sometimes imperfect, protections for these products running outside of central servers, but Arcjet replaces this resource-intensive process, allowing devs to protect every app they have running on the edge by just adding in a few lines of code. It also lets companies that are building AI-driven products protect the new crown jewels in their company building stack: the tokens that you spend by making calls to models from the likes of OpenAI, Google and Anthropic. Attackers can cost companies huge sums of money by making high-volume calls to these models via public-facing APIs, and Arcjet lets developers dynamically throttle those expensive requests to make sure they aren’t being abused. Arcjet protects against this and other threats presented by AI, like aggressive web scraping, where automated crawlers can cost companies thousands in bandwidth expenses, with a single solution, meaning that they don’t need to constantly worry about new attack vectors. David, who sold his last startup to StackPath in 2018, also writes the devtools newsletter Console, and has an instinctive sense of how to build a product that other developers want to use: something that’s being borne out by the thousands of new customers Arcjet is signing up every month. Read more on why Sten Tamkivi and I believe the company can become the next giant of the cybersecurity industry here: https://lnkd.in/dTmAYszH

The era of agentic AI is coming — and it might change how you get through your to-do list. That’s how Christopher Vallance summed up his conversation with Swami Sivasubramanian on the BBC. So, what is agentic AI? Think of it like this: instead of AI just suggesting ideas or helping you search for something, it actually does what you need for you: Ordering the exact shirt you need in the right size, right colour  Managing healthcare appointments or even helping buy a house  Updating your software (something already tried at Amazon, saving the equivalent of 4,500 years of developer time) At Amazon Web Services (AWS), we’re building the tools to power this future — like Amazon Bedrock AgentCore.  Agentic AI is coming fast. I’m genuinely excited to see how our customers transform their businesses and consumer experiences as a result. Listen to the full conversation here: https://lnkd.in/etTxjQ4V

OpenAI’s plan to establish AI hyperscaling infrastructure in India with at least 1 GW capacity is a transformative step to support the exponential growth in AI demand and model complexity across the country. #Hyderabad offers a world-class ecosystem and a secure location advantage to host such investments. It is already home to global tech leaders like Microsoft, which has its largest R&D centre outside Redmond here and continues to scale further. The city also hosts a thriving AI and tech community, with over 375 GCCs, 1,500+ tech firms, 52+ premier R&D centres, and a strong data centre footprint from leaders such as Azure, AWS, Iron Mountain, NTT, and Deloitte. This is supported by 1.3 million GCC-grade professionals, accelerating innovation at scale. Hyderabad combines the country’s finest infrastructure, reliable power and connectivity, abundant water resources, and a sustainable pro-business policy environment, making it a natural choice for AI investments of this magnitude. OpenAI’s vision for AI resonates strongly with Telangana’s ambition to lead in advanced technology infrastructure, digital transformation, and sustainable growth. We warmly invite OpenAI to be a part of Hyderabad’s growth story. Here, your investment will not only advance technology but also create high-value opportunities and set new benchmarks for global AI innovation. https://lnkd.in/eye-kVpS #InvestTelangana

#EU Tech Agenda - IndiaAI and #Aadhaar Interoperability . "Collaboration on digital public infrastructure – leveraging India’s experience with large scale, inclusive platforms and the EU’s leadership in global standards – can support #financialinclusion , #digitalidentity, and efficient public service delivery. Both sides aim to enable technical interoperability, such as between the European Digital Identity Wallet and India’s Adhaar system, to facilitate cross-border trade, travel and data exchanges. They also aim to jointly promote #DPI in third countries. " - JOINT COMMUNICATION TO THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL on a New Strategic EU-India Agenda.

🚨 Europe risks missing out on over €1.2 trillion in GDP gains by 2030 in the private sector, simply because we are not fully harnessing the potential of cloud and AI. For the public sector alone, a shift towards multi-cloud could generate up to €450 billion annually in efficiency and productivity gains for EU governments. This is the striking finding of the latest European Centre for International Political Economy (ECIPE) report for Open Cloud Coalition, and it should alert us. Cloud is a driver of innovation, competitiveness, and resilience, essential for Europe's digital future. 🚀 This report highlights a major barrier: the lack of choice for cloud customers. Restrictive software licensing practices, forced integration of services (bundling), excessive data egress fees, and even overly complex or ill-suited regulations create a true digital lock-in. These tactics, sometimes from established players, prevent businesses and administrations from selecting the most innovative solutions tailored to their needs. They hinder competition, innovation, and increase costs for everyone. It is imperative to promote Choice, and Security for Europe to truly establish itself as a leader in AI and innovation. The ECIPE report proposes a dual-track strategy, both short-term and long-term, which we fully support: 👉 Targeted short-term actions: Competition authorities must intensify their fight against lock-in practices and discriminatory licensing - reason why we filed an EC complaint against Microsoft. Governments must use public procurement to demand multi-cloud compatibility and open licensing. 👉 Long-term structural reforms: Redefine digital sovereignty as user freedom, not supplier nationality. Modernize public procurement to favor multi-cloud by default. By acting in this way, we could not only unlock colossal sums for our economies but also ensure that Europe remains at the forefront of global innovation, with resilient and secure digital infrastructures. To policymakers and decision-makers, the ball is in our court. Let's seize this opportunity for a more open and stronger digital Europe. 🇪🇺 #CloudComputing #AI #Europe #Innovation #Competitiveness #DigitalSovereignty #CustomerChoice #OpenCloud #Security For a deeper dive, the full ECIPE report is available here: Breaking Barriers to Cloud Customer Choice https://lnkd.in/etCbPzdb Marcus Jadotte Alexandra Gschwind Julian Schmücker Karen Massin Stéphanie Yon-Courtin European Commission

The social and economic impact of AI is not determined by the #technology alone. It depends how how we, the real agents, design and deploy it. In this paper with Jacob Taylor of The Brookings Institution, Alex 'Sandy' Pentland of Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI) and Thomas Kehler of CrowdSmart.ai, we propose three principles guide further development to ensure that #AI works for people and planet:  1) frame AI as a social technology, 2) design AI that is loyal to human agency, and 3) coordinate around big-bet applications https://lnkd.in/e3J-57KF
