The EU Can’t Figure Out What to Do About ChatGPT

By / Blog / , ,

EU regulators are slow to define rules for regulating ChatGPT, despite its rapid user growth. OpenAI's chatbot must comply with the EU's Digital Services Act (DSA) and AI Act, but clarity on its categorization and requirements is lacking until mid-2026. The discrepancy between these laws and their alignment with ChatGPT's functionalities pose challenges in assessing risks, particularly regarding public health and elections. Potential penalties for non-compliance could be substantial.

Biological AI Is Slipping Through Europe’s AI Law — For Now

By / Blog / , ,

EU's AI Act lacks regulation for biological AI models (BAIMs) which could pose significant biosecurity risks. Despite recognizing biological threats, existing guidance primarily applies to general-purpose AI like language models, leaving BAIMs potentially unregulated. Clarifying that BAIMs can be classified under the Act is crucial to prevent misuse and enhance safety, as these models can facilitate dangerous biological actions while the current laws create a regulatory blind spot. Timely intervention is essential as BAIM capabilities develop, ensuring oversight aligns with emerging biological risks.

The Leadership Blind Spot in AI: How Misalignment Derails Transformation and ROI

By / Blog / ,

AI misalignment undermines transformation investments. Many businesses focus on technology rather than aligning organizational conviction, creating an “Alignment Gap” that prevents meaningful adoption of AI insights. This leads to “Execution Theater,” where companies appear active but fail to achieve impact. Misalignment manifests as decision hesitations and departmental conflicts, resulting in poor ROI from AI initiatives. Organizations often fall into a cycle of skepticism about AI due to inadequate alignment in decision-making processes.

AI in Cybersecurity: The Sharpest Shield and the Sharpest Sword

By / Blog / ,

AI transforms cybersecurity, serving as both a defense and attack tool, especially in healthcare where records are highly vulnerable. AI enhances detection and response, automates threat management, and enables realistic breach simulations. However, attackers exploit AI to execute sophisticated phishing and malware attacks faster than defenses can adapt. CISOs must focus on resilience, governance, and partnerships, ensuring robust AI practices and scrutinizing external AI vendors. The key question shifts to recovery speed post-attack, emphasizing that resilience is vital for maintaining trust.

Stop Making Your Team Figure Out AI on Their Own

By / Blog / ,

TLDR: Relying on individuals to navigate AI adoption leads to chaos and risks. Organizations need to establish clear guidelines, support systems, and systematic tools to integrate AI effectively, ensuring consistent collaboration and security. AI should be treated as a significant organizational change rather than an individual task, necessitating structured interventions, robust training, and shared resources.

Top 10 Cybersecurity Frameworks Every CISO Should Know

By / Blog / ,

CISOs should focus on top cybersecurity frameworks: NIST CSF 2.0 for strategy, ISO 27001 for ISMS, CIS Controls v8.1 for safeguards, NIST 800-53 for controls, SOC 2 for assurance, PCI DSS v4.0.1 for cardholder data, MITRE ATT&CK for threat defense, CSA CCM v4 for cloud, IEC 62443 for OT, and NERC CIP for the power grid. Current frameworks ensure compliance and preparedness against regulations, improving overall security postures.

Another European Agency Shifts Off Big Tech, as Digital Sovereignty Movement Gains Steam

By / Blog / , , ,

European agencies, like Austria's Ministry of Economy, are increasingly migrating to open-source solutions (e.g., Nextcloud) to achieve digital sovereignty and control over sensitive data, distancing from US tech giants. This trend reflects broader efforts across Europe to manage data sovereignty, encourage local solutions, and ensure compliance with privacy regulations. While some migrations are successful, others face challenges requiring careful planning to avoid disruptions.
