Europe is building its own AI infrastructure, but when is it truly European?

The source text available here is only a fragment, so the summary can cover just a few points.

The piece argues that having servers on European soil is not the same as having technological sovereignty. That view comes from Peter Damm, CEO and co-founder of Granite. The framing question is when AI infrastructure being built in Europe can truly be called European, and the answer is meant to go beyond where the hardware is physically located.

The opening lines are all that is available, and they cut off just as Damm begins to say what Europe needs to do. The details of his argument are not included: what criteria he sets for sovereignty, which companies or projects he has in mind, and what he recommends. The piece was first published in Danish by TechSavvy under the title "Europa bygger sin egen AI-infrastruktur. Men hvornår er den egentlig europæisk?"

This matters because European countries, Denmark and the Nordics among them, are investing in domestic AI infrastructure and data centres. Damm's point is that physical location alone is an insufficient test of whether that infrastructure delivers real independence. Readers who want his full reasoning and concrete proposals will need to consult the original TechSavvy article.
