Cyberbiosecurity for Brain-Computer-Interfaces
Why is cyberbiosecurity relevant for emerging cyber-bio threats in the context of Brain-Computer-Interfaces (BCIs)? Neurodata serves as strategic infrastructure in future warfare scenarios. With the related risks of exploitation, cyberbiosecurity is needed to protect the vulnerabilities of neurotechnology devices and thus the disclosed human mind.

Interview with Lola Aworanti-Ekugo
How can the Global South advance in digital trade and AI? Effective digital trade requires inclusive policies, public-private collaboration, and support for scalable local innovations. With strategic partnerships, infrastructure investment, and global openness, African digital solutions can compete internationally and the WTO must evolve to support this growth.

Digital Sovereignty in a Fragmented World
How do different countries approach digital sovereignty in a fragmented global tech landscape? States adopt models reflecting politics, economy, and security: China is state-centric, the US market-driven, Europe regulatory, India public-infrastructure based, South Africa hybrid. Controlling digital infrastructure is essential; digital sovereignty safeguards national interests, prevents dependency, and is key to strategic autonomy.

CADA: Scaling EU Cloud Autonomy
Can CADA reduce the EU’s strategic vulnerability from reliance on foreign cloud infrastructure? CADA aims to build secure, EU-controlled cloud capacity through investment, regulation, and AI infrastructure to achieve digital sovereignty. CADA is a necessary first step for EU tech independence but won’t fully eliminate dependency without addressing energy, legal, and financial challenges.

Cyberattacks on EU Critical Infrastructure
Which EU critical infrastructure sectors face the greatest cyber risk, and which threat modalities are most active? The EU threat environment is bifurcated: high-volume DDoS/hacktivism pressures availability, while lower-volume intrusions cause high-consequence outcomes like ransomware and data theft. Public administration, transport, digital infrastructure, finance, energy, and health are most at risk due to dependency entanglement,…

Global Competition over AI governance models
How do the US, EU, and China’s differing AI governance models shape global competition and the emerging international AI order? Divergent models, US deregulation, EU rights-based regulation, and China’s state-centric approach create geopolitical competition but also drive a networked governance system. AI governance is evolving into a cooperative yet fragmented global architecture, where interoperability and…

Cross-Border Data Flow Governance
How do different national frameworks (EU, US, China, India) govern cross-border data flows while balancing economic benefits with digital sovereignty? Divergent regulatory approaches create a fragmented global system, prioritising sovereignty differently and causing legal complexity, data localisation, and barriers to digital trade. Greater international alignment and interoperable standards are needed to reduce fragmentation, protect data,…

EU AI Act
1. Is the EU AI Act an effective way to regulate AI while protecting democracy and fundamental rights? Can innovation and regulation coexist in the AI era? 2. Unregulated AI can manipulate citizens and systems. Strict transparency and human oversight requirements are essential to preserve equality and democratic integrity. 3. The Act establishes a human-centric…
