    EU allies join US pact to break reliance on Chinese AI supply chains

    Jacob Helberg, architect of Pax Silica, tells the FT the American-led group will boost innovation

    European AI people not too happy about it:

    > It's over, Europe has officially given up on its digital sovereignty: they just signed up to Pax Silica, the US initiative to lock other countries in its AI stack.

    > In case you think I'm exaggerating, Jacob Helberg, the US Under-Secretary of State who architected Pax Silica, LITERALLY says so in the article: he himself explicitly positions Pax Silica as designed to counter "digital sovereignty" - a concept he opposes because it would mean countries building their own tech stacks.

    > The cage door was wide open and clearly labeled. They walked in anyway.

      No? This looks like securing the interests of silicon manufacturing in Europe. This has very little to do with AI models or AI compute sovereignty. It allows the chip industry between europe and US confidence that even with aggressive export controls they will have business.

    What a terrible idea. USA and EU are enemies. I hope a new generation of politicians will soon appear that will be less corrupt to selling out to our enemies.
