Cybersecurity in the Age of AI: Why Open Source Must Become Part of the Defence
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, […]
Why AI Companies Invest Hundreds of Billions
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 […]
An always-on AI agent inside government is not a convenience feature, it’s a security risk
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 That framing is already outdated.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 […]
How to Use Large Language Models Without Letting Them Weaken Your Thinking
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 […]
Everyone should know what has been produced by Artificial Intelligence
Transparency is not optional, it is a requirement Artificial Intelligence has already moved from novelty to routine production. It writes text, generates images, edits audio, creates video, suggests code and helps reshape entire workflows. The central issue is no longer whether AI is being used. It is that, in too many cases, it is being […]
AI must not become the next dependency
Why governments, researchers, and businesses should back open-source agentic AI built on low-cost local LLMs The public debate on artificial intelligence is still shaped by hype, marketing language, and the illusion that the largest commercial models are ready to take over critical functions across the economy, the public sector, and research. Reality is far less […]
Coding agents should be used by programmers, not instead of programmers
From automation gains to the trap of code overproduction The new generation of AI tools for software development is no longer limited to autocomplete or quick code suggestions. Coding agents can inspect a repository, propose a plan, edit files, run commands, execute tests, and help move changes toward deployment. That makes them powerful, but it […]
Apertus and the case for a fully open Greek AI model
From dependency on foreign systems to Greek digital sovereignty The debate on artificial intelligence in Greece can no longer revolve around which foreign model to rent, which proprietary API to plug into a service, or which vendor to trust with sensitive linguistic infrastructure. The more serious question is whether Greece will remain a passive consumer […]
Large AI models should not be used in administration without guardrails, verification, and experienced human review
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 […]
AI as a paradigm shift in computer science
From explicit programming to the synthesis of solutions For decades, computer science was grounded in a relatively stable principle: humans define the rules, computers execute the instructions, and the result is largely predictable, repeatable, and testable. That logic has not disappeared, but it is no longer the only dominant model of computation. With the rise […]
AI Without Security by Design Puts Citizens’ and Workers’ Data at Risk
When innovation is built on insecure foundations The case of McKinsey’s Lilli platform is not just a dramatic breach story. It is a warning about how many AI platforms are being deployed today across companies and institutions, with speed and adoption taking priority over security by design. According to CodeWall’s public disclosure, an autonomous offensive […]
AI Factories or digital dependency?
Why the current AI infrastructure boom mainly enriches NVIDIA and other multinationals The global race to build “AI Factories” is being sold as the next great industrial transformation. Governments promise sovereign compute, strategic autonomy, new datacentres, thousands of jobs and a productivity revolution powered by artificial intelligence. Yet the political language of national capability often […]
