Analysis
Longer perspectives on how AI affects the profession, the economy and society around us.
Analysis
Too much in too little time
Refrigerators sabotaged in Europe. Websites taken offline in several countries. Microsoft down. Takeoffs halted across the United States. I don't think there is a common perpetrator. I worry there may be a common cause. And I suspect this has only just begun.

The bot is the trade’s new apprentice
In any office, information comes in, is processed using the firm’s experience and becomes a result that someone signs off. A bot can take on part of that work. It can also be taught the trade.

AI video takes a leap: meet its creators
A Barcelona director makes a short film in ten days and wins $100,000. A Stockholm creator takes his science fiction universe to the Los Angeles film market. Others are building series, animation and advertising. To understand the leap in AI-generated video, look at what they are making.

AI gives us a better fishing rod. Not more fish.
AI is like a better fishing rod: you catch fish faster, but there are no more fish in the lake. An estate agency produces better adverts and a notary's office processes its files sooner. Neither gains a single extra buyer. When the whole sector improves, the savings become higher margins, time saved and fewer new hires. Small and medium-sized businesses in the housing market show why working better does not translate into growth.
Analysis
Data centres: who pays for the party?
The bill is shared; the benefits have to be negotiated. Markets and grids can spread costs far beyond the data centre. What local residents receive depends on taxes, contracts and written commitments.
Analysis
When AI accuses the writer
An award-winning novel, an automated accusation and a question poorly answered: how much a detector proves. False positives exist. The problem begins when a classification of a text becomes a verdict on its author.
Analysis
Data embassies: can a state keep sovereignty and jurisdiction over data stored abroad?
Estonia agreed with Luxembourg on a safe haven for its data and systems. It is the most serious legal response to an urgent question: where to keep operating from if the territory falls. Its strength lies in negotiated immunities. Businesses and law firms should make that question their own.
Analysis
More intelligence in less space: AI comes to the law firm
Model makers design chips, and chip makers offer models. Intelligence is getting cheaper, while power gravitates towards factories, memory and access to users. At the same time, more compact models and better processors are bringing some of that capability into the office.
Analysis
Yandex: a warning that AI can be bombed too
Three data centers attacked in four days. Russia still does not know — or will not say — how much it has lost. But the message for every country is already clear: artificial intelligence lives in buildings, and buildings can be destroyed.
Analysis
Who is on the other end? AI can already seem human and copy a voice
I have tried free voice cloning options, and the results are quite good. That worries me: a familiar voice can convince us we are talking to someone we trust. Someone tried to deceive Ferrari that way. At Arup, a fake video call led to a multimillion-dollar loss.
Analysis
Codifying the craft
A company's know-how has always passed from one mind to another. Now it can pass from a mind to a machine that applies it to every assignment. It happens little by little, and the result is the firm's most valuable asset.
Analysis
It went down rehearsing how to get back up
Workday was testing its recovery systems. Some customers lost access. The question is how long a business can keep going when the platform it depends on fails.
