de Streel is also back now, pointing out that we had #openSource for DECADES and it wasn't saving us and this is now we now need #digitalGovernance #digitalRegulation. YES!! Contra the nonsense earlier in the day, this legislation is entirely ex post!

#digitalSovereignty

Sardet back too: we all talk about #interoperability but no users are changing and everyone just procures from hyperscalers. ABSOLUTELY! https://joanna-bryson.blogspot.com/2021/05/neither-interoperability-nor-data.html no one believed me, I guess I should send that to him 😄 #DMA

Now Emmanuel Sardet, President of Cigref and Vice-CIO, Crédit Agricole talks good sense, yay! The last thing we as a bank need is agentic AI forced won our throats. The EU's lead on B2B AI is super, super important.

Fairer Markets in Support of #DigitalSovereignty is the new panel he's on. The panels are getting better and better, I guess because Macron & Merz are closing the day!

They are talking about how important the #DMA is, but they could equally say #GDPR https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7357055079889207299/

This #digitalSovereignty panel is great. Alexandre de Streel, Professor of EU Law, CERRE and Université de Namur was just on an absolute tear about how great a champion Trump is for the #DMA that we can all see why we must enforce this.

Before him, Filomena Chirico, Head of Unit Digital Markets, DG Networks, Content and Technology, EC took a long turn talking good sense about the value of the DMA. She's now talking again about the good stuff about cloud in the DMA.

chair: are you sure the #DMA is going to solve this? Verena Pausder, Chair, German Startup Association
I can't promise but it is a sword and we need to use it. Startups aren't always talking about regulation but we all want this.

She also wants regulation to get some of the $300B/year invested into German pensions (incl. by me!) to go into VC, some fraction of a percent is now. Easily fixable without too much risk! #digitalSovereignty

Open source is an illusion without infrastructure.

Hey, I'm finally getting engagement here, including links to some of the software mentioned, see thread https://mstdn.social/@testman/115571162035084576 #digitalSovereignty

Now the panel is sadly confusing the #DSA and the #DMA. The DSA is supposed to be providing us visibility for recommenders. Oh, de Streel understand this, but there is a competition element given that the agentics are being inserted into widely-used browsers. (I'm switching my browser, email etc. over the local Solstice-associated holidays.)
