The article is about email. Europe could probably bring email "in-house". Large players like IONOS and OVH might help do it at scale.

But what about AI? Soon all of our email will be pre-handled by our OpenAI assistant while we will be driven around by Waymo and a good part of our work is done by a Tesla humanoid robot. How can Europe catch up and do that in a sovereign way?

For world-class AI, a country needs:

    1 Photolithography
    2 Wafers
    3 GPUs
    4 Software (SOTA Neural Networks)
    5 Energy
Components 2-5 seem not on the horizon on a world-class level in Europe. So Europe probably won't have the means to do AI "in-house" in the coming decades, right?
