Cloud and AI Development Act

The European Pirate Party (PPEU) recognises that Europe faces a real shortfall in cloud and AI computing capacity, and we support the Cloud and AI Development Act's (CADA) ambition to close that gap through sustainable, well-governed infrastructure. We also welcome its "open source first" language and its attempt to give public bodies a workable notion of sovereign cloud services.

Niuexa is an Italian company working on practical AI adoption, automation and professional training. We support the proposal's attention to deployment capacity as well as infrastructure. We offer the following recommendations from the perspective of a small downstream implementer; these are proposals, not claims of measured market-wide effects. 1. Make agent testing reusable by smaller implementers.

The contribution examines the proposal for a European regulation on the development of cloud and artificial intelligence, with a particular focus on the territorial distribution of computing capacity and the conditions necessary for effective access to the opportunities offered by new digital infrastructures.

Executive Summary BDI supports the overall direction of the Cloud and AI Development Act (CADA). Europe urgently needs to expand its cloud, AI and data-centre capabilities, reduce critical technological dependencies, and create better conditions for investments and innovations.

Build European capacity, keep markets open The Confederation of Swedish Enterprise supports CADAs ambition to strengthen Europes cloud and AI capacity. Success requires better investment conditions, faster permitting and access to competitive energy, not digital isolation. Assurance requirements must be risk-based and proportionate, avoiding unjustified restrictions based on provider origin or ownership.

The European Savings and Retail Banking Group (ESBG) welcomes the opportunity to provide feedback on the Cloud and AI Development Act proposal. ESBG welcomes initiatives aimed at reinforcing European technological sovereignty, particularly those intended to reduce strategic dependencies in areas as important as cloud computing and artificial intelligence, which are becoming increasingly important for the provision…

This feedback draws on a white paper based on 28 interviews with IoT start-ups, investors, accelerators and experts across Europe and beyond (20212023). The initiative rightly identifies decentralised cloud and edge computing as essential to AI fine-tuning and inference. However, the devices and sensors that generate and process data at the edge depend on a fragile base of IoT ventures.

Our feedback covers only the SME side of the Act. OUR CLAIM. Many SMEs already rely on AI every day.

In a complex digital ecosystem, ITI recognizes the importance of building and maintaining trust between governments and global industry to unlock the transformative potential of cutting-edge technologies in the public sector. This should be a central objective of the Cloud and AI Development Act (CADA), consistent with its broader goal of increasing the adoption of cloud and AI technologies.

Dutch local and regional authorities are strong advocates of the introduction of new European legislation that would significantly strengthen the digital autonomy and sovereignty of the European Union and its entities. Digital autonomy and sovereignty have become highly pressing issues in recent years.

The German Social Security (DSV) supports the objectives of the Cloud and AI Development Act (CADA) to build a powerful European cloud and AI ecosystem and strengthen Europe’s technological sovereignty.

We make four recommendations: 1) Make Acceleration Zones deliver fast power in addition to fast permits. Power access is the most crucial bottleneck cited by datacentre developers and the current proposal doesn't touch on that.

The Open Markets Institute Europe proposes reforms to the Cloud and AI Development Act (CADA) to prevent so-called sovereignty washing, strengthen enforcement, and better steer demand toward European providers. A central concern is that hyperscalers could market their offerings as sovereign or local without genuine technical or legal guarantees.

Cassandra Foundation recommends strengthening the implementation detail of COM(2026)502 so that cloud assurance remains meaningful throughout operation and migration, not only at recognition. 1. Make the scope of recognition unambiguous. Articles 2022 provide for audits, evidence and a public repository.

Tenstorrent is a fabless semiconductor company. We design AI processors, RISC-V CPUs, chiplets and the software that runs on them, and we have engineering teams in Munich, Warsaw and Belgrade. Our German subsidiary is part of the Chips JU CHASSIS project. Our full response is attached; the short version is below. We support the direction of the Chips Act 2.0.

Many strategically important European use cases rely on data distributed across authoritative enterprise, logistics, customs, regulatory and financial systems. These data may be commercially sensitive, legally constrained or operationally unsuitable for migration into a common AI platform.

The Cloud and AI Development Act (CADA) rightly treats computing infrastructure as a strategic European capability. However, it should distinguish between data-centre capacity located in Europe and AI capabilities that European governments, firms and researchers can reliably access and use. Europe will remain interdependent with non-European providers of advanced chips, cloud infrastructure and frontier AI models.

The German insurance industry supports the strategic objective of the Cloud and AI Development Act (CADA): strengthening Europes cloud and AI ecosystem, ex panding EU-based computing capacity, improving resilience, reducing critical de pendencies and strengthening Europes digital sovereignty. A more competitive European cloud market is in the interest of insurers, policyholders and the wider economy.

Europeans for Safe Connections opposes this proposal, because it promotes acceleration. By its very nature, an acceleration-focused legislative framework reduces the time and opportunity to generate, evaluate and incorporate long-term scientific evidence on impacts on public health and the environment. Acceleration and the precautionary principle pursue different objectives.

Tripling the EU's data center capacity by 2030 and establishing the Union Cloud Computing Sovereignty Framework (Levels 1 to 4) is a geopolitical move, but its architecture contains a fatal flaw in the annex: "Software within the meaning of Regulation (EU) 2024/2847, Article 3, point (4) falls within the scope of this Annex...

Executive Summary: DI broadly supports CADAs ambition to strengthen Europes cloud and AI capacity through investment, innovation and improved framework conditions. At the same time, digital sovereignty should be built on enhanced competitiveness, flexibility, strategic choice and robust security requirements not on protectionism or geographically based restrictions.

See my warehouse for reference：https://github.com/nohn3043-arch/second-perspective Current LLMs possess a systemic vulnerability: the mathematical inability to eliminate the final 1% of hallucinations and prompt injections. In high-risk sectors, a 99% safety rate equals 0% security.

Europes cloud and AI strategy should address not only infrastructure capacity and provider-level sovereignty, but also the operational and technical assurance layer required for AI agent deployment. CADA defines sovereignty assurance at the cloud and provider level.
