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

(27)

The Cloud and AI Leadership Initiatives’ operational objectives should, in particular,
            be implemented by setting ambitious, forward-looking objectives that aim to go
            beyond the current state of the art in infrastructure development, cloud computing and
            AI. The Cloud and AI Leadership Initiatives should therefore support major strategic
            ‘grand challenges’ focusing on the development and deployment of cutting-edge cloud
            and AI technologies and infrastructure of key importance for the Union. Those grand
            challenges should build on those established in Regulation (EU) 2026/XXX [Chips
            Act 2.0] on a framework of measures for strengthening Europe’s semiconductor
            ecosystem, aimed at enabling semiconductor technologies underpinning AI, cloud
            computing, data centres and edge infrastructures.
