Comment by Mario Draghi
Economist, former ECB President
AI requires industrial mobilisation on a scale not seen in generations: huge investments in energy, semiconductors, computing infrastructure and capital. [...] The US is on track to spend about five times more than Europe on building data centres by 2030, while China is mobilising on a similar scale.

Verified via web search. Quote is from Mario Draghi's speech/article "Europe Can Again Turn Crisis Into Union" published on geopolitique.eu (Groupe d'études géopolitiques) on May 14, 2026. The source URL returned 403 to WebFetch but search results confirm the article exists at that URL and contains Draghi's analysis of Europe's AI predicament. Multiple corroborating sources confirm Draghi's framing about AI requiring "industrial mobilisation on a scale not seen in generations" and the US spending five times more than Europe on data centres by 2030. Vote "for" the statement "The EU should build sovereign AI infrastructure to reduce dependence on US cloud providers" aligns well - Draghi explicitly argues Europe needs massive AI infrastructure investment to avoid falling behind US/China.
