How Quantum Computing will affect Global Security

Quantum computing is no longer science fiction. As new processors reach milestones in error reduction and qubit counts, they raise urgent questions about digital sovereignty, cybersecurity, and global inequality. This article explores how quantum technologies might reshape international security frameworks and asks whether their development will serve the public interest

Would you trust Elon Musk with your brain data?

As Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) move rapidly from sci-fi promise to clinical reality, they challenge our assumptions about autonomy, privacy, and what it means to be human. This article explores how BCIs turn thoughts into data, inviting the same extractive models that already dominate our digital lives into the mind itself.

#AIForGood — or just Good For the Economy?

From healthcare to peacebuilding, AI holds real promise for the public good. But in 2025, the data paints a different picture: while economic applications are rapidly scaled and funded, socially driven AI remains limited in scope, often sidelined or under-resourced. This article takes a closer look at where AI is

AI Inequality: When Intelligence Isn’t Shared

AI is reshaping our world—but not equally. This article explores how artificial intelligence amplifies existing global inequalities, concentrating benefits in the Global North while pushing environmental burdens and ethical risks onto the Global South. Drawing on concepts like digital colonialism and disparities in AI investment, it reveals how access without

When AI becomes a friend

As AI becomes more integrated into daily life, its most common use in 2025 isn’t productivity, it’s emotional support. What began as a tool for task management now listens, comforts, and simulates care.

Food For Thought

The Oppenheimer Test

Every system reaches a point where its makers lose the ability to contain it. Oppenheimer faced it in 1945. Artificial intelligence is moving toward the same line, where control slips and responsibility spreads to those forced to live with the consequences.

No Target, No Trigger, No Mercy

In 1943, a German pilot spared a shattered Allied bomber, choosing mercy where orders demanded execution. AI in warfare would not have paused. It would have scanned, confirmed, and fired, not from hatred but from code. Humans still draw fragile lines in war: a flag, a hand, a refusal. Machines do not see lines, only patterns, and once flagged as enemy, context collapses.
