    AI, Security & Economic Power: A New Playbook for Democracies | Sebastian Kurz | RAISE Summit 2026

    Sebastian Kurz, Jacob Helberg, Sebastian Matthes

    At the second Pax Silicon Summit in Washington, European nations acceded to the Paxilica initiative while leaders like Jacob and Sebastian debated the viability of sovereign AI against a backdrop of historic U.S. economic growth driven by an AI boom. The discussion highlighted a strategic divergence where the U.S. promotes an ecosystem-based approach to sovereignty and deregulation, contrasting with European concerns over the Digital Markets Act and the high costs of total vertical integration. Ultimately, experts emphasized that while foundational model dominance remains difficult for Europe, securing critical infrastructure and shifting toward competitiveness are essential to prevent total reliance on superpowers or losing the financial capacity for social welfare.
