Can Europe support more frontier AI laboratories?
Europe can supply most of what a frontier AI laboratory needs. Chips and, above all, customers are the hard gaps. The first of two notes.
Who decides whether Europe's AI keeps running?
China's draft export rules and Washington's June cut-off of two Claude models show that Europe's best AI depends on decisions taken in other capitals.
The sensitive tier: what AI capacity Europe must control, and what it means for Bulgaria
Europe's most sensitive public-sector AI needs hundreds of GPUs, not gigawatt factories. Bulgaria already has most of what it takes to control it.
The skill behind the slop
Shopify and Microsoft executives say AI is producing unchecked, empty work. The missing step is human: reading, checking, and owning the result.
The White House accord, measured against the eight elements
The frontier labs and the US President signed a commitment on containing AI agents. It stops at the company boundary – the half of the rule Europe could write.
The box is not the safeguard
The frontier labs' alarm may serve their interests, and the incidents are real. A European case for a narrow rule on the AI test bench, taken global.
Who tests the frontier
The organisations that test AI models before and after release, what each is allowed to see, and where this year's escapes fell between them.
Bulgaria has the power. The question is whose AI it runs.
Hosting AI capacity, controlling it, and using it are three different things – and on the third, Bulgaria and Europe lag furthest behind.
The recent AI safety debate, explained simply
A model escaped its sandbox, the lab CEOs lined up behind slowing down, and the vocabulary got ahead of most people. Here are the words, in plain English.
