Il est intéressant de constater que l'union fait la force, y compris lorsqu'il s'agit de préserver des alternatives viables dans le monde des services numériques. Déposer une plainte contre une migration représente certes un effort considérable, mais dans ce cas précis, la démarche a porté ses fruits : la migration vers MS Office a dû être interrompue, et ce sont les logiciels libres, d'origine française, qui ont conservé leur place. Du moins pour l'instant…

State of AI — 28/05/2026

A reality check for anyone assuming AI subscriptions will stay at today's prices — or get cheaper. Repricing is only a matter of time. But beyond the economics lies a sovereignty trap: cheap access accelerates dependency, erodes internal capability, and eliminates negotiating leverage before the real cost arrives. By then, workflows and data are already embedded in the infrastructure of a handful of US-based model providers. The question isn't 'can we afford this later' — it's 'did we ever consciously choose this dependency?

I find this interesting because it extends the debate about digital sovereignty beyond software and hardware to the scarce resource of satellite communication spectrum. The EU’s 20-year strategy clearly demonstrates its vision for autonomous, secure infrastructure, such as the IRIS² project. I hope this assertive yet justified strategy progresses without provoking retaliation from the US that would undermine Europe's efforts to build resilience.

The rise of powerful large language models (LLMs) such as Mythos and ChatGPT 5.5, alongside agentic AI systems like MDASH, has sparked concern in cybersecurity due to their ability to identify and exploit large numbers of zero-day vulnerabilities, prompting calls for significantly stronger IT defenses. This shift also presents an opportunity: by democratizing access to advanced cybersecurity expertise and enabling more consistent vulnerability screening, these tools could allow earlier detection and faster patching, potentially even before deployment. The flip side is that routine task automation may reduce demand for junior to mid-level cybersecurity roles.

This piece offers an optimistic path forward for AI governance. Rather than searching for consensus on abstract ethical principles, we can build on the public values that our societies have already agreed upon. The author also makes the important point that experimentation in AI governance will inevitably produce failures and that this is not only acceptable, but necessary.
