The greatest risk of AI is not what it does for us, but what it stops us from doing ourselves, argues @VladimirSucha. We remain blind to the erosion of human expertise by AI because the one thing we all measure, output, keeps rising. Great piece >>

Another excellent column from Chris Kremidas Courtney about the frugals/spendthrift binary that feeds a political and economic divide – to the Union's detriment.

If anyone deserves some slack for fighting talk, it’s Zelenskyy. But the EU would sooner see him a saint than a winner

Amid regional escalation, I/P conflict risks fading into background. That’s a mistake.

Whether it’s on settler violence, Gaza crisis, or public advocacy: Civil society peacebuilders are hard at work, despite/because of war. And need diplomatic support.

My latest in @EURACTIV:

‘Amid plunging temperatures and relentless attacks, Ukraine has shown the world it will not abandon the fight for its future. Europe must match this resolve with volia of its own. Not doing so would be a strategic and moral failure.’

As Mette Frederiksen meets Keir Starmer in Downing Street, where no doubt she will be implored to agree to a deal with Trump that concedes some Greenland sovereignty, here's my latest for @euractiv on why Britain is Europe's weakest link

A functioning force needs a clear command structure, in which case the Berlaymont is surely the last place you'd look

Grok’s “spicy” mode is astoundingly ill-conceived, encouraging users to push the bounds of correctness and share the results directly on the platform. But even as others muster the strength to stand up to X, the EU can't bring itself to act.

Thousands of free potatoes to be had on Brussels Grand Place. The driver or the tractor is now in police custody, but given there is a police station directly next to the place, they should also be questioning their own security

Brussels, round 2.

Belgium's capital has a well-known money problem. But unless someone fixes the city's broken political system, it will be the ruin of many more finance ministers.

If Europe is to find its way in a changing world, the discontent on display in Belgium should be seen as another alarm, rather than the butt of a joke.

The creative solution to Ukraine's reparation loan has inspired some creative imagery to illustrate the dilemma. But there's only so long leaders can talk about golden eggs and boats, rather than putting the plan into action.

Italy’s bridge is just the most audacious example of imaginative arithmetic to deliver grand designs under the guise of defence.
