Europe deepens its dependence on Silicon Valley through Pax Silica declaration

Gustav Gillund
Summary
The article discusses how the EU has signed the Pax Silica declaration, a U.S. geopolitical initiative aimed at securing American dominance over artificial intelligence and the supply chains for resources needed by the technology. European governments, including Norway, have justified joining the initiative as a way to gain better market access and advanced technology. However, the article argues that the core of Pax Silica is not about giving Europe better access, but rather about the U.S. taking control over Europe's technological future.
