Europe's leading data centre hubs, including Frankfurt, London, Amsterdam, Paris, and Dublin, are facing a potential shift as developers seek locations with shorter connection times and easier power access due to the growing demand for artificial intelligence (AI) models. A report by energy think-tank Ember suggests that by 2035, half of Europe's data centre capacity could be located outside these main hubs in search of more favorable electricity grid planning.

In contrast, Romania lacks major cloud operators like Amazon, Microsoft Azure, or Google, creating opportunities for sustainable growth and expansion in this secondary market. The global data center industry is experiencing substantial growth driven by increasing demand for artificial intelligence, cloud services, and digital transformation across various sectors, with tech giants such as Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, and Oracle continuously expanding their infrastructure to meet the growing demand.

The law, which has not been signed by the governor, would give authorities the power to revoke permits if they deem driverless vehicles pose a risk to public safety. Tesla's CEO Elon Musk had previously announced plans for an "autonomous ride-hailing" service in Austin, with a planned launch in June, but has given few details on the specifics of the operation, including how it will charge passengers or handle emergency situations.

Cybersecurity experts warn that the rapid evolution of AI technology is expanding the potential for digital attacks, with cybercriminals using Generative AI to enhance social engineering tactics. The threat landscape is also shaped by geopolitical instability, with state-linked groups from Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea engaging in sophisticated cyberwarfare campaigns against critical national infrastructure. Cloud infrastructure is under pressure, with a 75% year-on-year rise in cloud intrusions reported by CrowdStrike, highlighting the need for real-time threat intelligence and supply chain security audits.

Meta's CEO Mark Zuckerberg plans to invest at least $60 billion in AI this year, aiming to lead in the field. The company recently entered a deal worth over $10 billion with Scale AI, where founder and CEO Alexandr Wang will join Meta to help with its AI ambitions. In contrast, OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman believes his company has a better chance of achieving superintelligence, citing differences in company culture and approach.
