The most interesting thing in tech: Everyone in Davos is talking about geopolitics and the growing antagonism between the US and Europe. But geopolitics are sometimes downstream of tech. And one thing that Europe could do is build its own open-source AI models. Eric Schmidt explains why that matters... show more

The most interesting thing in tech: a cool new app called Particle that I think helps show one promising future for real news --- and one way that media and the AI industry can work together.

Yoshua Bengio: AI models are part of geopolitics. And having your own AI models as a nation is of strategic importance. It is therefore all the more irritating that the EU is showing no signs of wanting to act immediately and build up its own AI industry.

NATO Expansion itself occurred because the Russians were and still is weak. They were promised not one inch eastward from East Germany but who cares? US + Europe is far more powerful and there’s nothing Russia could do about it. In geopolitics, power…1/2

🚨🇪🇺 EUROPE IS FALLING BEHIND IN TECH Fidias says Europe is seriously lagging in tech and AI. US tech giants like Apple, Meta, LinkedIn, and Uber get slapped with billions in fines, while European companies, despite paying high taxes, barely contribute as much. He calls it crazy and says it shows how messy the system is. Europe has the potential, but results aren’t matching the promise. The EU could work, but right now it needs serious reform to keep up with the rest of the world. Full interview with Fidias Panayiotou below

Mark Carney continues repeating the phrase that “the world is undergoing a rupture.” He has used it at Davos, in Europe, and in multiple speeches discussing trade, geopolitics, and Canada’s future. But many Canadians are beginning to notice a pattern.

On a Reddit dupe called Moltbook, AI agents post much like we would, chatting about everything from religion to crypto and even about "their humans." But why? And is the AI doing this all on its own? In the latest installment of AI, Explained by Humans — our new series where our tech team breaks down developments in AI and how they could affect our daily lives — tech reporter Tharin Pillay explains what we're learning from this, and why it matters.

🇸🇦🇺🇸DAVID SACKS: THE BIGGEST TECH COMPANIES BUILD ECOSYSTEMS "This is the kind of thing we need to enable and support. The thing that I've learned in Silicon Valley over the past 25 years is that every successful company in Silicon Valley gets to be that way by creating an ecosystem. And the biggest, the most powerful companies in tech are the ones that create the biggest ecosystem." Source: David Sacks

“AC this, wash dryer that, US woohoo, EU boohoo” - Why are we eating this brand-warfare from the outside about us up? Europe has the strongest precision manufacturing in the world, we have leading teams in AI, CV, robotics. Europe is a leader in Automation and Frontier Tech! Not a single NVIDIA chip could be produced without European machines. Not a single American cloud, robotics, or deep-tech firm would operate without European manufacturing or suppliers. But we are too humble. Brainwashed to never celebrate Europe. By outsiders and our local politicians. Time for a change. Europe is the birthplace of industrialization. The home of frontier tech. Time, we act like it. Welcome to the real Europe! 🔥🇪🇺

The AI divide between the United States and Europe is becoming impossible to ignore. In the US, xAI built the world’s largest AI facility in just 122 days. In France or Germany, it could take five years simply to secure the permits. And even if Europe could build faster, power is the deeper constraint. Europe has the highest industrial electricity in the world. And, it is an net energy importer. If Europe doesn't unlock cheaper electricity (fast!) it will fall further behind.

The most interesting thing in tech: Cloudflare has built a new tool that allows publishers to identify, track, and block any AI bots that are scraping their sites without permission. Here Gitesh Gohel and I explain the spreadsheet we've built to decide who to block --- and then we start blocking. It feels like an important moment where the balance of power is shifting back to creators and away from companies who have scraped with impunity and without any fair exchange of value.
