Digital Sovereignty: Why Europe Is Not Winning the Cutting-Edge Models Race European digital sovereignty is necessary to ensure security in Europe, whether in the public or private cyberspace. Indeed, the Old Continent suffers from structural disadvantages in its competition with the United States and China in the field of AI, particularly when it comes to […]
What is cognitive warfare in the age of social media? Digital influence is often understood through easily isolatable elements, such as an account, a coordinated campaign, a viral video, a strategic framing or a volume of engagement. This approach captures the actors and the flows, but fails to fully capture the continuity of the symbolic […]
What is the ‘battle of narratives’ in the digital age? In the digital age, the battle of narratives lies less in the attention it pays to narratives than in the blurring it allows between three distinct concepts: the symbolic organisation of plausibility, cognitive reception and behavioural causality. By conflating them, it risks transforming a strategic […]
The word ‘simulation’ can be misleading. This is neither about recreating an entire battle nor about pretending that a military system already exists. In the field of drones and cyber, simulation can fulfil a more straightforward and useful function: serving as a test bed for the chain linking the sensor to the decision. A simple […]
Will artificial intelligence eliminate jobs? A study by Coface and the Observatory of Threatened and Emerging Jobs estimates that, with the use of artificial intelligence (AI), nearly 5 million jobs in France are at risk by the end of the decade . Employment, productivity, skills, automation: the real impact will not only be social, but […]
Many chief executives face the same strategic dilemma: how can the company adapt to a changing environment without undermining the strengths that made it successful? Artificial intelligence is widely expected to become one of the greatest accelerators of transformation in economic history. It may be also the most systemically disruptive. Rather than affecting a single […]
Technological sovereignty has established itself as a key focus of the European strategic debate. It underpins industrial policies, shapes public discourse and permeates innovation ecosystems. Yet, behind this ubiquity, ambiguity persists. Technological sovereignty is often invoked as a general framework, sometimes as a rallying cry, but rarely as the subject of rigorous analysis. Yet reality […]
Cognitive warfare and digital influence: measuring the effects, not just the flows Digital influence has become a central issue in the cyber field. It features in military doctrines on cyber influence operations, in public policies addressing information manipulation, in research on digital platforms, in debates surrounding generative artificial intelligence, and in discussions on democratic resilience. […]

Faced with the explosion in cyberattacks, the profusion of new solutions sometimes gives the impression of an artificial frenzy, or even the creation of a bubble. It is not a bubble in the traditional sense: the threat is tangible, the incidents are real, and the sector is already generating substantial revenue and jobs. The economically […]
Economic intelligence: making decisions and planning ahead in times of uncertainty Given that uncertainty is now systemic in our societies and shapes the very framework of decision-making, we believe it is crucial for decision-makers to develop their ability to make decisions and think ahead. This policy paper examines the role of economic intelligence, which involves […]
