China manipuleert al decennia de prijzen van zeldzame aardmetalen. Ze drijven prijzen omlaag om de concurrentie uit te schakelen. Nu gebruiken ze hun monopolie om de defensieproductie in westerse democratieën te ondermijnen. Ik mis de urgentie in het westen: kom op!!

Chinese companies provide Europe’s critical energy infrastructure: insecure and foolishly dangerous. There are still European alternatives but we need to act now. Together with colleague Miriam Lexmann we are circulating an urgent letter for immediate action:

Brilliant move by @ASMLcompany to invest in @MistralAI: it helps to build a European AI Ecosystem. As Mistral helps determining the next generation of lithography, it can also help ASML to streamline internal processes. European tech integration. May others follow 🙏 👏

Russische hackers worden kennelijk niet warm of koud van het onklaar maken van duizenden computer servers door @europol.europa.eu (desalniettemin bravo👏!). Het doel moet daarom het hoofd van de slang zijn: uiteindelijk vinden we de daders en is er gerechtigheid pointer.kro-ncrv.nl/aanvallen-ga...

Unilaterale handel-consessies aan Trump worden nu weggezet als winst: onzin natuurlijk. Brussel heeft dus werk te verzetten om sterker te staan tegenover de VS en China. (1/2)

Nieuwe handelsakkoorden zijn noodzakelijk nu de VS en China proberen Europa af te knijpen. Maar in Brussel gaat het sluiten van die akkoorden tergend (!) langzaam. Koppel daarom onderhandelingen over handel los van andere zaken; ontkoppel de dominee en de koopman. Opinie in @fd.nl

AI models not only think in human language but also develop their own: incomprehensible for humans to understand what they mean and how they arrive at conclusions. Cause for concern for 40 people who work on it daily: keep AI under control with regulation

Om impact te maken kan het helpen om ook in buitenlandse media op te treden. De Duitse ARD zendt deze reportage over de dreiging van Chinese omvormers in kritieke infrastructuur uit. Ik bekritiseer de Duitse minister die zegt dat we er niks aan zouden kunnen doen 🤦‍♂️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcfU...
