China’s 15th Five-Year Plan: The Next Phase of Tech Power — and Europe’s Response

It is about growth. And a full-spectrum strategy to hardwire China’s position as a dominant tech-industrial power — across clean energy, AI, quantum computing, digital infra & military capability.

AI Slop, AI Noise, and the Urgent Need for Digital Trust in an Agent-Flooded Internet

AI-generated “slop” is flooding social media, worsening bot abuse, deepfakes, and bias.

Attention & reputation signals are breaking; identity, provenance are the cure.

Most of the business manages I talk to say: Quantum Threat? This is tech talk. We have plenty of time.

This attitude is super irresponsible.

As threat actors are already conducting systematic HNDL operations since years, their time has already come.

TIME is on the side of our adversaries.

We also did a Harvest Now Decrypt Later (HNDL) analysis about what Nation State Actors and Organised Cyber Criminals are doing. It is just super terrifying.

There is a Taliban Proverb:

You have the [outdated] watches, we have the time.

Means Taliban have the endurance to outlast the US troops. What they did.

Wrt to the quantum threat this proverb is even much more to the point.

🚩 “Cyberwar isn’t hypothetical—it’s here.” Our critical systems face daily threats. Building resilience isn’t optional—it’s imperative. Read my call-to-action on designing infrastructure for the cyber warzone:

📢 Claudia Plattner from Germany’s BSI says: Digital sovereignty is crucial—not just desirable. Building resilient, sovereign digital infrastructure is economically smart and strategically necessary.

🛡️ From hybrid warfare tactics to looming quantum threats, cybersecurity denial mirrors climate pragmatism: short-term gains lead to catastrophic losses. We must shift our mindset—urgently.

⚠️ Centralized digital infrastructure isn’t just risky—it’s dangerous. A single breach can cost billions. Decentralization and “Never Trust, Always Verify” principles aren’t idealistic—they’re survival strategies.

🌐 We’re already in a cyber war. AI-driven attacks, state-sponsored sabotage, and centralized vulnerabilities threaten our digital world. Why must we urgently build resilient systems now? My new article explores why:

🧵1/ Making Products Smarter: AI-Enabled Digital Product Passports

Digital Product Passports (#DPPs) are no longer just for compliance. With AI + Model Context Protocol (#MCP), they become dynamic, intelligent tools across industries.

5/ Spherity’s Commitment:

🔐 Verifiable data
⚡ AI integration (via MCP)
🔄 Lifecycle intelligence
🌍 Ecosystem collaboration

Let’s build the infrastructure for smart, circular, AI-ready products.

4/ Why it matters:

AI-enabled DPPs boost:
⚙️ Efficiency
📜 Compliance
📈 Customer trust
🌍 Circularity

Already in production — not just a vision.

3/ Real-world use cases:

🚛 EV truck batteries
🔋 Smart UPS systems
👕 Circular fashion

Ask the AI:
➡️ “How is battery ABC performing?”
➡️ “Where was this shirt made?”
➡️ “Can this UPS be recycled?”

2/ Traditional DPPs = static.

Spherity’s VERA platform + MCP = verifiable, real-time, AI-queryable DPPs.

That means:
✅ Predictive maintenance
✅ Regulatory automation
✅ Consumer-facing insights
✅ Circularity tracking

AI Gigafactories need more than GPUs — they need trust.

🛡️ Verifiable identity, digital delegation, auditability.
🇪🇺 Only Europe has the tools: eIDAS 2.0 + EUBW = Trust at Scale.

📖 Read how we build it.

“Made in Europe. AI made with Trust.”
