Generative AI may be technologically impressive, but its economics remain deeply challenged: providers spend billions on chips, data centres and energy while many services are still sold below their true cost. The article argues that AI vendors have yet to prove sustainable profitability or consistent customer ROI, despite enormous investment and hype. It also questions […]
AI has evolved from a technology initiative into a board-level strategic and enterprise risk that demands continuous oversight, not periodic reviews. Boards must establish clear governance, accountability, and AI risk appetite while ensuring innovation is balanced with responsible use. Traditional cybersecurity alone is no longer sufficient, organizations must protect AI-driven decision-making, data, identities, and autonomous […]
AI agents are rapidly moving from experiments to core business systems, but governance is struggling to keep pace. 65% of organizations experienced at least one AI agent-related security incident in the past year, making incidents a mainstream operational reality. The biggest impact was exposure or mishandling of sensitive data (61%), followed by operational disruption (43%) […]
Indirect prompt injection is the most widespread and serious vulnerability in AI agents today, not just a theoretical risk. Research shows attacks can transfer across models and behaviors, revealing a fundamental weakness in how agents interpret context. More capable models aren’t safer, high performance often comes with equally high vulnerability. Attacks are especially dangerous because […]
Europese banken en fondsen investeerden eind 2025 minstens 27 miljard dollar in Palantir Technologies, ondanks zware kritiek op mensenrechten en democratische waarden. Het aandeel van Europese investeerders groeide met ruim 60%, terwijl het bedrijf gelinkt blijft aan surveillance, militaire operaties en migratiebeleid. Experts waarschuwen dat deze investeringen indirect een anti-democratische agenda versterken, mede door nauwe […]
The Future Jobs: Robots, Artificial Intelligence, and Digital Platforms in East Asia and Pacific by the World Bank explores how new technologies are reshaping jobs. Robots and automation increase productivity but can replace some routine manual jobs. AI can both replace and assist workers depending on the tasks involved. Dgital platforms are creating new flexible […]
China’s National Computer Network Emergency Response Technical Team warned that the open-source AI agent OpenClaw has weak default security settings that attackers could exploit to gain system control. Attackers can use prompt injection, embedding malicious instructions in web pages to trick the AI into leaking sensitive data. Researchers showed that features like link previews in […]
On 23 February 2026, a coalition led by the Global Privacy Assembly warned about AI systems generating realistic images and videos of individuals without consent. They highlighted rising harms such as non-consensual intimate imagery, defamation, cyberbullying, and risks to children. Organizations are urged to follow privacy laws, build strong safeguards, ensure transparency, and provide fast […]
Switzerland rejected Palantir after a technical review found data leakage cannot be reliably prevented—an architectural, not legal, flaw. The concern isn’t analytics power, but loss of control over data flows, updates, access, and revocation. Germany faces a contradiction: promoting digital sovereignty while using Palantir in several federal states. Bavaria’s Palantir-based VeRA system triggered legal challenges, […]
Europe’s EUDI Wallet can technically replace passwords today with cryptographic, verifiable, privacy-preserving login. Passwords persist only because institutions keep them as legacy fallback options. Public-sector mandates for wallet-based login will spark mass adoption and force IAM vendors to follow. Enterprises and AI-agents will accelerate the shift, as both require verifiable credentials and cannot rely on […]
