Andreas Schwab, a German MEP, emphasizes the urgent need for the EU to regulate cloud and AI services under the Digital Markets Act (DMA) to prevent American and Chinese companies from dominating the market. He advocates for a unified European strategy to address the digital strength of these competitors. Despite the rapid growth of cloud and AI services, they are currently not included in the 24 core platform services regulated by the DMA. The UK’s Competition and Markets Authority has raised concerns about the market dominance of Amazon and Microsoft in the cloud sector, highlighting the challenges for competition. Schwab calls for immediate action to ensure that cloud and AI services are adequately regulated.
