The afternoon didnât start better: we got a talk about the EUDI, with the implied idea that an âEuropean IDâ is automatically an example of digital sovereignty, when in fact what is being implemented isnât.
I could go further into it, but instead Iâll leave here a link to the comment I was impelled to write on the EUDI project after the presentation:
The #EUDI panel was followed by Caroline Stage Olsen, Minister for Digital Affairs of Denmark. The tldr; of her keynote - which had two points of note: 1) âI support AI gigafactoriesâ (because all that is shiny and new is something we should invest in), and âinnovation is sovereigntyâ which is her way of saying that she wants to use the sovereignty topic not to talk about sovereignty but as an excuse to promote âinnovationâ - in that ideology brand that supports the idea that in order to innovate more we need to simplify and de-regulateâŠ
