"German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and French President Emmanuel Macron on Tuesday appealed for more European innovation and agency in budding tech sectors like artificial intelligence. At a special summit in Berlin, Merz said Europe must seek greater digital sovereignty, "at least in those areas where it is possible and achievable." Macron similarly said that Europe could not be reduced to just a client either of major corporations or of Washington and Beijing."
""Clearly, we want to conceive solutions of our own," he said. The meeting comes as the European Union is set to propose a rollback of regulations on artificial intelligence and data protection later this week. Berlin will also be hosting a two-day conference on European security that kicks off on Tuesday, with speakers including the German defense minister, Boris Pistorius."
