A delay in formal high-risk AI Act application does not pause enterprise procurement diligence. For many non-EU AI vendors, the first serious pressure point will still be a customer evidence request.

Andreas Urbanski was Director of AI Partnerships at Google Cloud and VP Digital at Airbus Defence & Space. He spent many years in senior roles in the Silicon Valley software industry.

Budget optimism is rising as 2027 approaches — but more spend alone won’t improve outcomes. Use this moment to reset your AI investments. Prioritize the readiness, governance, and context required to make it truly work.

At this year's AIE World’s Fair, AI engineering entered a new phase: building systems around agents, rather than just building with agents.

simonw/pedalican Clearly I wasn't paying attention when these were first announced back in May, but today I accidentally activated a "pet" in Codex Desktop - a little animated robot, reminiscent of Clippy - and then learned you can create your own. So I did, and now I have a cute little pelican on a bicycle bouncing around my desktop giving me updates on my Codex tasks. Your browser does not support HTML5 video. The most interesting thing about this process was watching how the custom pet was cr

This year the state of New York had the dubious honor of being the first to pass a controversial provision to mandate all 3D printers come with surveillance and censorship. That means not only is there a ticking clock to protect every artist, researcher, engineer, and hobbyist in the state, but there is a real risk of other states thoughtlessly following suit—prior to the New York rules even taking effect. We, along with many other experts , already warned about this bill buried in the state’s c

lobste.rs is now running on SQLite Community site Lobsters has been planning a migration away from MariaDB since August 2018 - originally targeting PostgreSQL, but last year they decided to investigate SQLite instead. This weekend they completed the migration, and now consider it stable enough that it looks like this is the permanent architecture for the site going forward: SQLite seems to have passed with flying colors: cpu usage is down, memory usage is down, site seems to be snappier at least

On 29 June 2026, the European Parliament’s Constitutional Affairs rapporteur Charlie Weimers published a draft report, to be presented at a public hearing on July 15, on “The Institutional Framework of the European Union and its Interaction with National Authorities in the Application of Union Law, with Particular Reference to Article 19 TEU”. The CJEU's historic reluctance to open up its own governance, notwithstanding what the post-Lisbon constitutional arrangement requires of it, has left it

The shared language of a software project is not English or Python but it is the common understanding of what its concepts mean, where the boundaries are, which invariants matter, who owns what, and why the system has the shape it does. This language is rarely written down in one place. It lives partly in documentation and code, but also in code review, conversations, arguments, and the experience of having to explain a change to somebody else. Before agents, some of this shared understanding wa
