The EU has launched a €1.2 billion cloud project to crack US dominance
The EU has approved state aid of up to €1.2 billion for a cloud and edge computing project across Europe in a bid to compete more effectively with the US. The scheme, called IPCEI Next Generation Cloud Infrastructure and Services (IPCEI CIS), has been backed by France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, and Spain, and is aimed at creating the first interoperable and openly accessible European data processing ecosystem. "The IPCEI will provide for highly ambitious research, necessary to enable the uptake of innovative data processing applications and services for European businesses, public administrations, and citizens." The plan is to develop open source software that will allow for real-time and low-latency services, EU lawmakers said, with individual projects covering the entire cloud edge continuum, from the basic software layer to sector-specific applications.

Googles megaförändring slår mot e-handlarna: ”Drastisk minskning”
I mars nästa år händer det grejer. Då rullar EU ut det nya direktivet Digital Markets Act, som kommer att leda till hårdare EU-tag mot datainsamlingen på och via Google. Det blir bland annat en uppstramning kring hur e-handlare får samla in det användarsamtycke, som krävs för att få använda Googles tjänster.

Gartner Forecasts Worldwide Public Cloud End-User Spending to Reach $679 Billion in 2024
Worldwide end-user spending on public cloud services is forecast to grow 20.4% to total $678.8 billion in 2024, up from $563.6 billion in 2023, according to the latest forecast from Gartner, Inc. “Cloud has become essentially indispensable,” said Sid Nag, Vice President Analyst at Gartner. “However, that doesn’t mean cloud innovation can stop or even slow. The tables are turning for cloud providers as cloud models no longer drive business outcomes, but rather, business outcomes shape cloud models.” “For example, organizations deploying generative AI (GenAI) services will look to the public cloud, given the scale of the infrastructure required,” said Nag. “However, to deploy GenAI effectively, these organizations will require cloud providers to address nontechnical issues related to cost, economics, sovereignty, privacy and sustainability. Hyperscalers that support these needs will be able to capture a brand-new revenue opportunity as GenAI adoption grows.”

Intel lanserar nytt AI-chip – tar upp kampen med Nvidia
Nvidia har idag en ledande position när det handlar om AI-kretsar. Open AI använder till exempel Nvidias grafikprocessorer med chattboten Chat GPT. Men nu har Intel offentliggjort ett kommande chip kallat Gaudi3, som ska vara en värdig utmanare till både Nvidias H100 och AMD:s MI300X (som inte heller har släppts ännu). Gaudi3 är framtaget med generativ AI i åtanke och kommer att släppas under 2024.

Google’s App Store Ruled an Illegal Monopoly, as a Jury Sides With Epic Games
Google violated California and federal antitrust laws through deals that stifled competition for its Play mobile app store, a jury in San Francisco unanimously found today. The verdict delivers the first significant US courtroom loss for big tech in the years-long campaign by rivals, regulators, and prosecutors to tame the power of internet gatekeepers. The ruling came in a case first filed in 2020 by Epic Games and argued before a jury since early November. Epic had accused Google of restricting smartphone makers, wireless carriers, and app developers from providing any competition to the Play store, which accounts for over 95 percent of all downloads onto Android phones in the US.

The EU Just Passed Sweeping New Rules to Regulate AI
The European Union has agreed on the details of the AI Act, a far-reaching set of rules for the people building and using artificial intelligence. It’s a milestone law that, lawmakers hope, will create a blueprint for the rest of the world. “The EU AI Act is a global first,” said European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen on X. “[It is] a unique legal framework for the development of AI you can trust. And for the safety and fundamental rights of people and businesses.”
