The geopolitical situation is forcing companies and individuals to reconsider their use of AI and which AI tools they use.
At the moment, American AI tools are predominantly used, as the major tech companies are based in the United States.
Here’s why you should choose a European AI tool and 6 key points to check on.
Data sovereignty and GDPR compliance
Unlike American giants subject to the US CLOUD Act, which allows US authorities to access data stored abroad, a European AI like Euria guarantees that your data remains under European jurisdiction, ensuring strict compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and local privacy laws.
Data Loss Prevention (DLP)
American solutions can present risks of cross-border surveillance or the use of your data to train their global models without explicit consent, while a European AI natively integrates Data Loss Prevention (DLP) protocols that comply with the strict requirements of European companies to prevent any unauthorized export.
Neutrality and absence of geopolitical bias
Models developed in the United States can unintentionally reflect American cultural, political, or ideological biases, whereas a European AI like Euria is designed to respect the neutrality and fundamental values of the European Union, ensuring responses more tailored to the local and international context without foreign political interference.
Environmental commitment and energy efficiency
The carbon footprint of American data centers is often high and dependent on non-renewable energy sources, while Euria is hosted in Switzerland, using 100% renewable energy and reusing waste heat for residential heating, thus meeting the EU’s sustainable development goals.
Strategic independence and resilience
Relying on American suppliers exposes Europe to risks of technological dependence and potential trade sanctions or service disruptions in the event of geopolitical tensions, whereas a European AI strengthens the continent’s strategic autonomy and the resilience of its digital ecosystem.
What to do?
Think carefully before you start using AI: what makes you feel comfortable, and are the Big Tech companies the ones you want to do business with?
