Rome, March 18 (LaPresse) – "Europe’s common defense" is "a necessary step to make the best use of technologies that must ensure our security." This was stated by Mario Draghi during a hearing on the Report on the Future of European Competitiveness before the parliamentary committees of the Chamber and the Senate, emphasizing that "defense today is no longer just about armaments but also about digital technology." "It is the very concept of defense," he added, "that is evolving into the broader concept of global security. The convergence of military and digital technologies leads to the synergy of different defense systems in air, sea, land, and space." According to Draghi, "it is therefore necessary to adopt a unified continental strategy for cloud computing, supercomputing, artificial intelligence, and cybersecurity," and "this development can only take place at the European level."
