Infrastructures: Digital Sovereignty
Digital Sovereignty in the European Union is a term used to convey a broad array of policy ambitions in relation to digital technology development and use: the urgency to regain control over data, infrastructures, and (critical) technologies, the establishment of strategic autonomy, the conclusion of partnerships with geopolitical allies, and the reduction of critical dependencies. According to the Digital Decade Policy Programme Implementation Report of 2023, digital sovereignty refers to the EU's "ability to act independently in the digital world and therefore it constitutes a crucial means to safeguard [EU] values".

X.X. Supply Chain Management and Rare Earth Minerals
The United States' pursuit of AI dominance rests on a chain of physical dependencies: AI systems require advanced semiconductors, semiconductors require rare earth elements and critical minerals, particularly the neodymium, dysprosium, and gadolinium used in the magnets and components of chip fabrication and data-centre hardware, and the United States currently remains reliant on processing capacity concentrated in China. Where the CHIPS and Science Act addresses the fabrication layer, a separate and more fragmented body of law addresses the mineral layer beneath it. Unlike the EU's Critical Raw Materials Act, the American framework layers a foundational statute, an executive order, and a narrower defense-procurement statute.
