  "account": "German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has called on medium-sized businesses to adopt artificial intelligence to analyze and utilize data, claiming it could propel the German economy to the top. However, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang noted that data is a country's most valuable resource and exporting it without control can be counterintuitive. He implied that companies should maintain control over their data when using AI services from firms like Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google. Many companies previously moved their data to large cloud providers, relying on encryption for security, but this may not be sufficient for sensitive information.",
  "summary": "Chancellor Merz asks medium-sized businesses to tap their data treasures. The risk is greater than with the cloud - but there is a way to minimize it.",
