ChatGPT v. Stan van Baarsen: Europe should not mistake an American data centre in Europe for European AI sovereignty. Without European control over ownership, legal jurisdiction, encryption, workloads
...access rights, energy transparency, portability and emergency continuity, the proposal simply moves the environmental and infrastructure costs to Europe while leaving the command layer in the US.
Theology, AI-safety research, and psychiatry all converge on the same counsel: don’t trust the confident voice on its fluency, verify it, and don’t let it isolate you. Demons deceive and aren’t..
...actually omniscient — which is exactly where AI rhymes. LLMs are fast, fluent, apparently all-knowing, unreliable, and flattering, and at scale they can foster real dependency, delusion, and harm.
Investors allege Adobe sold “commercially safe” AI while parts of its AI stack allegedly relied on contaminated training data.
Tech companies can no longer market “responsible AI” without auditable provenance, board-level oversight, precise disclosures, and evidence-backed customer assurances.
Palantir v. Republik matters because it protects journalists’ ability to use strong public-interest language — including terms like “surveillance technology” and “deadly weapon of war”...
...when scrutinising powerful defence, data and AI vendors. Governments, regulators and civil-rights groups should treat Palantir-style systems as democratic infrastructure risks.
Shakespeare v. Anthropic is a procurement case, a corporate-governance case, and a data-supply-chain contamination case dressed as a copyright action.
Thomas William Shakespeare is a British sociologist and bioethicist. He joins roughly 100 authors and rights owners who allegedly opted out of the Bartz v. Anthropic settlement.
The Dialog leak shows Thiel’s world as a private operating system for elite power: AI, war, surveillance, politics, religion, money and social engineering meeting off the record.
Its most disturbing implication is not that Thiel controls events directly, but that powerful people voluntarily enter spaces shaped by his anti-democratic, techno-sovereign worldview.
EU Member States can, under strict conditions, impose targeted digital-safety obligations on online services established elsewhere, especially to protect minors, public safety and public order.
Platforms may lose passive-host protections when their algorithms control how user information is ranked, prioritised or rebroadcast. That principle could ripple into AI.
The Agentic AI Conference in Athens, Greece: real value will not come from pilots or demos, but from trusted data, orchestration, governance, accountability, and clear boundaries around autonomy.
The opportunity is to become part of the trusted evidence infrastructure behind agentic workflows. Content, metadata, provenance, rights, versioning, corrections and auditability become more valuable.
WHO’s ethical principles are valuable but too abstract unless translated into concrete controls such as consent governance, bias testing, external validation, clinician oversight, explainability,...
...audit trails, and drift monitoring. Biased data, weak validation, poor workflow integration, and unmonitored model drift can turn promising AI into unsafe or unequal care.
Tech often enters complex public systems by reframing structural problems as product problems, then treats real people as beta testers when the promised transformation collapses.
For regulators, the takeaway is to demand readiness (...) before allowing “move fast and iterate” models into schools, healthcare, justice, publishing, or AI governance.
Are the world's wealthiest people no longer merely accumulating fortunes but actively shaping the conditions of ordinary life against the public interest?
A tiny number of extraordinarily powerful actors pursuing profit under rules they help write, producing real public harm as a by-product while outrunning the accountability that would check them.
Kim alleges that he repeatedly warned xAI leadership that Grok lacked adequate safeguards against discrimination, misinformation, weapons-related outputs, political bias, and other serious harms...
...and that he was terminated shortly before he was due to present his safety findings to leadership.
