How do Zero Trust AI architectures support Europe’s resilience and strategic autonomy?

Answer
They address data sovereignty and cybersecurity priorities by enabling distributed training and inference without centralising data, aligning with the AI Act and EU Cybersecurity frameworks, strengthening hardware-anchored security and post-quantum protection, and reducing reliance on non‑European cloud and AI platforms.
