For most of the past decade, Europe approached digital transformation through a legal lens rather than an innovation one. EU leaders, driven by the belief that regulatory strength alone could shape the global internet, largely focused their energy on drafting laws designed to control dominant foreign platforms. This regulatory-first approach became the cornerstone of Europe’s digital strategy and gave rise to legislative frameworks that influenced worldwide debates on privacy, data governance, competition, and platform accountability. Yet, as Europe reaches the midpoint of the 2020s, that decades-long paradigm is undergoing a dramatic shift. A new reality—shaped by geopolitical tensions, technological dependencies, … Read more

Zuckerberg Dismisses AI Cost Concerns Amid DeepSeek's Breakthrough

The artificial intelligence (AI) landscape is shifting rapidly with the emergence of DeepSeek, a Chinese AI company that has reportedly developed a powerful large language model (LLM) at a fraction of the expected cost and time. However, despite the industry buzz surrounding DeepSeek’s achievements, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg remains steadfast in his belief that AI infrastructure investments remain a key advantage for long-term growth.
