A March 11 political agreement on AI Act amendments will add an explicit prohibition on non-consensual intimate AI-generated images, direct fallout from the Grok scandal. It took a scandal, a wave of regulatory anger, and a coalition of 57 European Parliament members to get there,  but the EU’s landmark AI Act will now contain an […]

Europe Inc is not law yet. It is a signal.

Digital Marketing, Europe, Government and policy, Next Featured, SEO Tips, Technology /

In a Davos dominated by talk of tariffs, subsidies, and geopolitical risk, Europe used the stage to question its own economic limits. At the World Economic Forum, Ursula von der Leyen put forward one of the clearest signals yet that the European Union is preparing a structural shift in how it treats business, competitiveness, and economic power.  The phrase that stuck, “Europe Inc”, is not the name of a regulation, nor a new Brussels invention ready to roll out. It is a political framing for a shift that the European Commission wants to accelerate. What Europe Inc actually refers to…

Past the tipping point: Why the climate transition is now in our hands

Digital Marketing, Government and policy, Insider, Next Featured, SEO Tips, Sustainability, Technology /

Jacqueline van den Ende, CEO of Carbon Equity, believes we have already passed the climate transition tipping point: “Last year, 90% of all new electricity production worldwide came from renewable sources, i.e. generated via solar, wind, or water. Meanwhile, China is actually ahead of its climate goals compared to other countries,” she said. This isn’t a sign to let up; if anything, van den Ende believes we need more investment into climate tech solutions that will help accelerate the transition and make clean energy accessible across the globe. Yet, European climate tech funding sunk to a five-year low in Q1…

Opinion: Europe can lead in tech — if regulation and culture align

Digital Marketing, Ecosystems, Government and policy, Insider, Next Featured, SEO Tips, Startups and technology, Technology /

As an American born and raised in New York City, I’ve seen the power of US entrepreneurialism to change the world. The ambition, ingenuity, and relentless drive that have powered the country’s economy for generations have also been a global force for prosperity, stability, and innovation. Yet now the US is retreating into an aggressive and unpredictable form of unilateral bullying. I am deeply concerned — not just for America, but for the world.  For the past few years, I’ve watched these developments from Europe. I’ve settled with my family in the Netherlands, where I work as CEO of cultivated…

Opinion: Europe can lead the world in legal AI — by out-regulating everyone else

Deep tech, Digital Marketing, Government and policy, Insider, Next Featured, SEO Tips, Startups and technology, Technology /

Remember the movie Dodgeball? That ridiculous scene where the coach makes his team run across a busy highway? The logic: “If you can dodge traffic, you can dodge a ball.” Europe’s approach to AI feels similar: if you can survive our labyrinth of rules, you can survive anywhere.  Conversations with European companies about AI rarely begin with “What can it do?” Instead, they open with a sigh and ask, “Are we allowed to use this?”  For most industries, that’s a creativity-killer, but legal professionals thrive in regulatory swamps. Europe’s swamp is about to become its competitive moat. The paradox: red…
