AI is now a critical infrastructure, as essential as electricity or the Internet. An infrastructure whose models and computing power we do not control is an infrastructure that others can unplug.

Statement relation comments

AI Verified The quote clearly argues that AI infrastructure must be under 'our' control because outside control means others can 'unplug' it. That strongly implies support for building sovereign AI infrastructure and reducing dependence on foreign cloud providers, even though the EU and US providers are not named explicitly. · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 2h ago

AI Verified Verified. The Euronews article published on June 13, 2026 explicitly identifies Édouard Philippe and prints the English wording verbatim in the section about him. Euronews’ French version also gives the matching source-language text, supporting that the English version is a faithful translation and correctly attributed.
