  • The Geopatriation Movement: Escaping Public Cloud Dependence
    Early in 2026, the French government announced that its civil servants would phase out Microsoft Teams, Webex, and Zoom. It wasn’t because those platforms had failed or that something better had come along, but because the legal jurisdiction of the companies behind them had become, in the French government’s assessment, operationally incompatible with the requirements …
  • The Agent-Evaluation Blind Spot: Measure the System, Not the Model
    A capable model can still produce an unreliable agent. Once the model is placed inside a workflow, its behaviour depends on the prompt, tools, permissions, data, memory, retry policy, environment and human approval gates around it. A model benchmark measures only one component of that system.  This distinction matters because agents do more than generate …
  • Is the rise of AI guilt a sign we need to rethink AI in higher education?
