This divergence is not anecdotal; it reveals two visions of sovereignty, one \u2018de facto\u2019 and the other \u2018contradictory\u2019. In response to this, we are seeing a real acceleration in Europe on tech issues, with investments in AI and cybersecurity becoming a priority.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut we must be wary of a new paradox that we are observing: while 9 out of 10 executives trust AI, 4 out of 10 admit to having shared confidential data with tools they did not fully trust.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When adopting a new technological tool, 92% of executives would favour a future partner of the same nationality, with 47% saying this factor would be decisive. This view is particularly strong in English-speaking countries, where 57% of executives in the United States and the United Kingdom&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.intelligentciso.com\/2026\/02\/03\/vivatech-confidence-barometer-2026-reveals-ai-trust-paradox-amid-rising-sovereignty-and-cybersecurity-concerns\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>VivaTech Confidence Barometer 2026 reveals AI trust paradox amid rising sovereignty and cybersecurity concerns \u2013&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[20,28,57],"class_list":["post-209432","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-cybersecurity","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-data-security","tag-security"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/209432"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=209432"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/209432\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=209432"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=209432"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=209432"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
