Europe’s opportunity to raise the global floor before it’s too late

Over the past 18 months, Pour Demain has contributed to the implementation of Europe's emerging AI governance framework through policy engagement, technical analysis and stakeholder convening. Alongside AI, we’ve continued to advance evidence-based biosecurity policy and support effective international development. This article provides an overview of our work from 2025 into 2026. AI governance Context: a shifting policy landscape In recent years, AI systems have become i

The first public measurement of confidential-computing overhead on an instrumented evaluation of a frontier AI model shows the cost is manageable and the remaining gap is a solvable engineering problem.

Author: Alejandro Tlaie Boria Executive Summary We present the first public measurement of confidential-computing (CC) overhead on an instrumented evaluation of a frontier AI model. Running five interpreta

Innovation needs trust: Why Europe should see biosecurity screening as an enabler of biotechnology Europe's biotechnology sector is entering a period of rapid transformation. Synthetic nucleic acid technologies are accelerating breakthroughs in healthcare, diagnostics and sustainable manufacturing, while AI is expanding the speed and scope of biological research. Together, these developments have the potential to deliver enormous benefits for society, but they also create new

Current frameworks regulate the deployment contexts where LoC is least likely and leave unaddressed the ones where it is most likely Authors: Alejandro Tlaie Boria Executive Summary Policy attention on frontier AI risks has concentrated heavily on misuse: cyberattacks, disinformation, and the potential for AI to assist in the development of biological or chemical weapons. AI-enabled cyberattacks have already transitioned from an anticipated risk to a documented harm. Many in

A confidential-computing facility for trustworthy AI auditing: giving regulators visibility into frontier models without exposing the assets behind them. Author: Alejandro Tlaie Boria Executive Summary Pour Demain is publishing a new technical brief proposing a confidential-computing facility that would let independent evaluators run deep safety audits on frontier AI models without forcing providers to expose the model weights, architecture details, or training artefacts they

Moonshots in Reliable, Safe and Secure AI can be the EU's competitive advantage Authors: Alejandro Tlaie Boria & Jimmy Farrell Executive Summary Pour Demain and SaferAI brought together around 40 participants at the European Parliament on 23 March 2026 for a roundtable on Moonshots in Reliable, Safe & Secure (RSS) AI: A Path to European Leverage and Strategic AI Adoption. MEPs Michael McNamara (Renew Europe) and Sergey Lagodinsky (Greens/EFA) co-hosted the meeting under the C

This letter, signed by civil society, industry and individual experts, calls on the Commission and EU policymakers to adequately resource the AI Office, and remove administrative bottlenecks, to future-proof the EU's centre of frontier AI expertise. Read the letter (with links):

A Policy Brief for Strengthening Biosecurity and Competitiveness Across the European Union

A strategic investment in Europe’s competitiveness and sovereignty Cover image: Stock photograph from Pexels, used under a free licence. Authors: Tina Wünn and Jimmy Farrell Executive Summary Public trust is a decisive factor in the adoption of Artificial Intelligence. At a time when most people remain sceptical of AI, the EU AI Act has the potential to create legal certainty and boost trustworthy AI. This is particularly important given that today’s most advanced AI models c
