Europe can only realise its AI ambitions by ramping up investment not just in compute and networks but in trusted, advanced connectivity. Success depends equally on policy — harmonised rules, interoperable standards, cross‑border data governance and targeted financing — alongside technology, infrastructure, skills and public‑private partnerships to accelerate deployment and adoption.
Forecasts suggest 2026 is unlikely to see mass layoffs directly caused by artificial intelligence, but experts warn AI will reshape job roles and slow hiring as firms reassess workforce needs. Employers are expected to prioritise retooling existing staff and investing in training to capitalise on AI tools, creating a potential ‘rush’ for upskilling programmes across sectors. The shift could produce short-term hiring freezes or more cautious recruitment, while raising questions about skills mismatches, labour-market inequality and the speed of public and private training responses.

Fake content created by Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming more sophisticated and difficult to identify
Recently, I started delegating more. Not to colleagues or PhD students, but to artificial intelligence agents. AI agents are autonomous systems capable of planning, executing, and iterating on complex tasks without the need for continuous human intervention. In one afternoon, one of these agents completed a literature review, synthesized a...

Generative artificial intelligence has entered the daily life of companies with the promise of speed, efficiency, and simplicity. In law, this promise is seductive, yet AI does not understand the law, weigh principles, or assume responsibility. It operates on probability, creating plausible but potentially flawed results. The danger lies in sophisticated errors that appear authoritative. AI can enhance legal work when integrated into processes led by experts, but it cannot replace experienced legal judgment, strategy, or the ability to assess risk. Ultimately, the value of legal practice shifts toward critical validation and accountability, as machines cannot replace the human discernment required in court.
