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

(32)

In order to ensure that the policies of the Union and the Member States are mutually
            consistent, Member States should adopt national strategies to help achieve the Union’s
            objectives on the development of cloud and AI, in line with the AI continent action
            plan and the Apply AI Strategy. The national strategies should notably include the ‘AI
            first’ principle defined in the Apply AI Strategy, urging organisations to reflect on
            their business processes, considering the needs of an opportunities offered by AI,
            while taking into consideration the potential risks. The national cloud and AI strategies
            should also be aligned with the associated digital targets set under Decision (EU)
            2022/2481 (23), in particular on the adoption of cloud computing services, big data and
            AI by at least 75% of Union enterprises for their business operations, and the
            deployment of at least 10 000 climate-neutral highly secure edge nodes in the Union,

            establishing the Digital Decade Policy Programme 2030 (OJ L 323, 19.12.2022, p. 4, ELI
            http://data.europa.eu/eli/dec/2022/2481/oj).

            while ensuring low latency. The measures adopted under the national strategies could
            inform the national digital decade strategic road maps (the ‘national road maps’).
