Daphné Leprince-Ringuet, a senior AI reporter from Paris, and Freya Pratty, a London-based expert on European startups, dive into the hot topic of Europe's AI infrastructure build-out. They discuss the urgency behind government investment in data centers and the strive for cloud sovereignty, while warning against the risks of overbuilding reminiscent of past gigafactory failures. The duo explores the tension between Europe's ambitions and dependence on Nvidia, the potential of startups in this realm, and whether AI infrastructure might be the next bubble to burst.
