AI changes the economics of attack Cybersecurity has entered a new phase. The main shift is not that computers suddenly became vulnerable. Software has always contained bugs, and some of those bugs have always been exploitable. What has changed is the economics of attack. Artificial intelligence lowers the cost of finding weaknesses, understanding unfamiliar code, … Read more
The race is not only about technology The current artificial intelligence boom is often described as a technological race. That description is incomplete. It is also a race for infrastructure, market power and control over the next layer of the digital economy. The largest technology companies are investing hundreds of billions of dollars every year … Read more
The shift from assistant to operator For a long time, public discussion treated artificial intelligence as an assistant. You ask, it answers. You upload a document, it summarizes it. You request a draft, it proposes one. That framing is already outdated. The real security issue begins when AI stops waiting for instructions and starts operating … Read more
Convenience is not the same as learning Large language models are now part of everyday life in education, work, and public communication. They draft text, summarize documents, suggest ideas, organize arguments, and respond instantly to complex questions. Their usefulness is obvious. But that usefulness becomes a problem when speed replaces effort, and assistance turns into … Read more
Education cannot run on ambiguity Artificial Intelligence is no longer a marginal tool in education. It is already being used to draft lecture notes, generate exercises, prepare presentations, write reports, translate material, produce images and even assist with software development. Yet in many cases, students, teachers, researchers and citizens still cannot tell whether what they … Read more
Fluency is not reliability Large language models create a dangerous illusion for both public administration and private organizations. They look like universal productivity engines: fast drafting, fast summaries, fast answers, fast recommendations. But speed and fluency are not the same as accuracy, accountability, or institutional reliability. A model can produce a polished paragraph and still … Read more
Europe does not suffer from a lack of open source. It suffers from a lack of large-scale adoption. Across the European Union, the policy direction is already clear. Interoperability, reuse and cross-border public service improvement are now central to Europe’s digital agenda. Open source has also been increasingly linked to reduced dependency, stronger digital autonomy … Read more
An approval that changes the scale of ambition The approval of the proposal “Enhancing multilingual foundation models through lexicographic grounding: advancing GlossAPI for Apertus Greek language integration” by the Swiss AI Initiative is more than a welcome grant decision. It is a recognition that Greek should be treated as critical digital infrastructure in the age … Read more
On February 28, 2026, Donald Knuth, professor emeritus at Stanford University and author of the landmark work The Art of Computer Programming, published a note titled “Claude’s Cycles” describing how Anthropic’s Claude Opus 4.6 model solved an open problem in combinatorial mathematics that he had been working on for weeks. The announcement marks a significant … Read more
Benefits and risks for the public and private sectors AI agents are not just better chatbots. They are systems that combine language models with tools, memory, retrieval, and the ability to execute multi step actions across software environments. That combination gives them real productive potential for both the Greek public sector and private firms, but … Read more
