Europe faces a critical "translation gap" where doctoral excellence in academia often fails to convert into industrial impact. While Industry 5.0 demands a blend of technical depth, sustainability, and human-centric design, traditional higher academic education remains siloed. This paper presents an approach from the Horizon Europe INSIGHT initiative to co-design modular competency pathways for early-stage researchers. Using a multi-methodological analysis framework, including expert interviews

Business in the age of artificial intelligence (AI) moves with dizzying speed. More powerful models launch regularly, bringing new opportunities and risks. Fresh use cases emerge daily, increasingly leaning on the orchestration power of agentic AI. Innovation boundaries recede as the cost of inference declines and robotics accelerates. It’s as if we’re permanently on fast […]

Will AI replace marketing jobs? European marketers largely believe the answer is no. Yet many organizations have already reduced headcount or replaced employees with AI. The reality is more nuanced: AI is not simply replacing marketers — it is redesigning how marketing work gets done. As AI takes on more execution-oriented tasks, the value of human contribution shifts toward strategy, creativity, judgment, and leadership. The organizations that succeed will not be those that deploy the most AI t

Europe keeps asking where its technology champions are. In Google Android, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) offered part of the answer: build a successful platform, and Brussels may spend the next decade treating its architecture as evidence.

The UK’s immigration and asylum bill has proposed restricting how the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) is interpreted and applied in the UK to make it easier to deport migrants. For years, critics have argued that the ECHR undermines the UK’s border security by prohibiting deportations on the basis of Article 8, the right […]

At EBAday in Copenhagen, Tapan Agarwal, Head of Payments Solutions and Krishnan Srinivasan (KS), President and Region Head, Europe and CIS Markets, Intellect Design Arena, discussed the myths and truths surrounding AI with FinextraTV. KS began by listing the many ways he has experienced AI being used effectively within banking, firmly defining it as a 'reality' rather than a myth, but notes the constraints that must be navigated within the EU act. Tapan then explains his view on the three primar

European firms say they are fighting to secure a foothold in physical AI – the integration of artificial intelligence into robotics and machinery – as China and the United States take an early lead in the sector, with industry insiders warning the continent faces the threat of further deindustrialisation if it fails to establish a competitive industry. “You see China and the US … because of AI … typically they are considered the leaders, but do not count out Europe,” said David Kehr, president..

As AI-generated media flood our information ecosystems, detecting synthetic content has become an urgent regulatory challenge – in fact, not one challenge but many, as synthetic media breeds problems across a range of digital contexts, including deepfakes and disinformation, scamming, and content moderation. The EU's new "Code of Practice on Transparency of AI-Generated Content" – the first concrete articulation of Article 50(2) AI Act, the EU's approach to AI-content detection – gives sensible

Ransomware poses an escalating cybersecurity threat as attackers continuously modify behavioral patterns to evade static defenses. Although existing machine learning-based detectors often achieve strong predictive performance, they generally assume fixed training data and do not support the selective removal of previously learned samples. This limitation conflicts with privacy regulations such as the GDPR and CCPA, which require the removal of sensitive user data upon request. To address this ch

The scientific panel of independent experts (the Scientific Panel) is a body established under the EU AI Act to support the enforcement of rules on general-purpose AI (GPAI) models and systems. It sits within the Act’s broader governance architecture as one of the three advisory bodies, alongside the AI Board ( established under Article 65) […]

A recent judgment of the European Court of Human Rights concerning a TikTok video published by a Georgian self-defined civil activist adds another layer to the Court’s increasingly messy Article 10 case law. The applicant repeatedly insulted public officials in crude and sexually explicit terms while broadcasting to a large online audience. Domestic courts imposed only a modest administrative fine, later reduced on appeal. The ECtHR did not find a violation of the applicant’s right to freedom of

The European Central Bank has told banks to draw up action plans to address AI-enabled cyber threats, warning that emerging models such as Anthropic's Mythos have "potentially profound implications" for the resilience of IT system.

Commission v Hungary must be understood in the context of the European rule of law saga and the ongoing struggle for true European solidarity. The CJEU confirmed the autonomous justiciability of Article 2 TEU even when the link to specific EU Charter provisions or secondary legislation would already suffice. A close look at ASJP case and its antecedents discloses a European society selectively built – protecting some configurations while leaving others outside – with solidarity, as an operative

Antoine Vauchez famously stated that the “constitutionalization of Europe” flourished in the hills of Fiesole. The Academy of European Law (AEL) at the European University Institute organizes an annual Summer Course on the Law of the European Union for two weeks of intensive lectures and exchange. I reflect on this year’s Summer Course as a site where ideas of European society are debated, contested, and further developed. Ultimately, I will critically reflect on what the Summer Course might tel

BRUSSELS — The EU’s biggest lenders should set out how they will tackle risks from cutting-edge artificial intelligence models by the end of October, the bloc’s top banking supervisor said today. Chair of the supervisory board of the European Central Bank, Claudia Buch, told lenders to put in place action plans outlining how they will […]

The integration of Large Language Models (LLMs) into scientific research workflows, particularly for bibliographic discovery and literature synthesis, raises significant methodological, epistemic and regulatory challenges for the Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH), especially with regard to disciplinary diversity, multilingual access to sources and the evaluation of results. This paper presents an on-going use case developed within the European project LLMs4EU and the ALT-EDIC infrastructure,

Not all misinformation consequences are equal. Faced by hundreds of thousands of false claims online and offline every day, fact checkers need a robust way to identify the important ones to check. This scalable model—used by fact checkers in trials in Europe, Africa, and the Middle East since 2024—helps forecast the potential imminent and cumulative harms of different false claims and is an early warning system for society that focuses efforts on factually false claims that cause real-world harm

Fact checkers should maintain high standards of accountability because they hold unique positions in society by verifying content that can influence political practices and society as a whole. To maintain these professional standards, fact-checking network organizations such as the International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN) and the European Fact-Checking Standards Network (EFCSN) have established codes of standards, and fact-checking organizations should comply with them in a substantive way. Th

Major platforms constantly claim to fight disinformation and support the fact checking community, but their transparency reports and the empirical evidence from a survey of expert fact checkers across 21 EU countries show a different reality. This study finds that despite commitments made under EU regulations, expert fact checkers remain largely peripheral actors within the existing platform governance framework, with limited insight into how their work influences platform decisions.

Public institutions increasingly use large language models (LLMs) to answer citizens' questions, often pairing a curated knowledge base with live web search, yet whether the sources behind these answers can be trusted has received little empirical scrutiny. We report a pre-launch expert evaluation of Evrópuvefur, an independent, government-funded service run by the University of Iceland that answers questions about the European Union, conducted as Iceland prepared for its referendum of 29 August

Integration Through Law was and remains, in various forms, the major driver of European integration. Constitutional Pluralism arose out of constitutionalisation, counterbalancing the move to neoliberalism in the new millennium. In Commission v Hungary, the Court recognised European society “in which pluralism prevails” as a legal concept. The Court radiates judicial authority at a time when Europe is again in crisis, politically through populism, economically through competitiveness and sustaina

Can one speak of a European society without speaking about private relations? Recent scholarship on European society has largely approached the concept through the lens of public law. Yet societies are constituted at least as much by the horizontal relations between individuals and groups as by public institutions. This blogpost turns to EU private international law (PIL) and will argue that EU PIL brings into view the importance of coordination frameworks for organising a mode of integration ba
