Official source: COM(2026) 502 final — Proposal for a Cloud and AI Development Act

(21)

As AI agents have become increasingly capable and AI applications have become
            more deeply embedded in real-world business scenarios, industry is rapidly evolving
            towards a new paradigm that equips such systems with autonomous execution
            capabilities. This transition to a new paradigm requires a robust technical framework
            to ensure the safety, accuracy and legal compliance of those systems, given the
            stringent engineering requirements pertaining on AI platforms. Accordingly, the Cloud
            and AI Leadership Initiatives should aim to establish sovereign and secure AI
            platforms dedicated to the large-scale deployment and orchestration of advanced AI
            agents. Those platforms should be supported by innovative orchestration frameworks
            that ensure transparency and accountability in multi-agent interactions. It is also
            necessary to facilitate the development of rigorous testing and experimentation
            methodologies of AI agents and orchestration to minimise unintended autonomous
            behaviour.
