AI's biggest failures: the billion-dollar products that crashed and burned
For three years, AI was presented as the revolution that would transform everything. In 2026, the first major products are starting to die publicly: Sora abandoned by OpenAI, Apple hit with a $250 million judgment, Microsoft Designer buried, Humane Pin remotely deactivated. Here is what these five failures really teach us.
Are your school textbooks written by ChatGPT? The scandal that is blowing the lid off
A computing textbook printed in 2026 contains, in black and white, a sentence typical of ChatGPT left in the text by mistake: "If you want, I can also explain columns, primary keys, or other DBMS terms". The image goes viral on Instagram. At UCLA, a professor publishes a medieval literature textbook entirely generated by AI and publicly defends her choice. Here is what these cases really reveal.
OpenAI opens its cyber weapon to Europe, Anthropic refuses: the standoff begins
On 11 May 2026, OpenAI officially offered the European Union access to GPT-5.5-Cyber. Anthropic is still refusing. And Germany's Bundesbank warns: without Mythos, European banks will not be able to defend themselves against AI-driven cyberattacks. Here is why this announcement changes everything.
The OpenAI lock-in: how ChatGPT wants to become your only piece of software
In our previous article on the release of GPT-5.5, we wrote that the real AI battle in 2026 would no longer be about performance, but about integration. Six weeks later, OpenAI confirmed it: ChatGPT, Codex and the Atlas browser are to merge into a single super-app. A closer look at a strategy that may seem unremarkable but changes everything.
The French paradox: European champions on ChatGPT, laggards in the enterprise
44% of French people use ChatGPT, more than Americans (28%) and far more than the Chinese (20%). But behind this flattering ranking lies a far more nuanced global picture: the United Arab Emirates leads at 64%, Africa is a surprise, and China is playing a different tune. Here is the real state of global AI adoption in 2026.
Google I/O 2026: what's being prepared for 19 May in Mountain View
On 19 May 2026, Google opens its annual I/O event in Mountain View. Between official announcements, credible leaks and persistent rumours, here is everything that should be revealed on stage, and why this edition could be the most strategic since the event was created.
DeepSeek V4: China rolls out its open-source weapon against OpenAI and Anthropic
On 24 April, DeepSeek released V4-Pro and V4-Flash, two open-source models that rival Claude Opus 4.7 and GPT-5.5 for a fraction of the price. And they run on Chinese chips. Here is what that really changes.
OpenAI hits back hard: GPT-5.5, Images 2.0 and a super-app in one week
On 21 and 23 April 2026, OpenAI released ChatGPT Images 2.0 and then GPT-5.5 in quick succession, barely six weeks after GPT-5.4. Here is what has changed, what costs more, and where Claude Opus 4.7 keeps the edge.
"By the end of 2026, we'll laugh at today's AIs"
OpenAI's boss said it publicly in early April: today's best models will look ridiculous by Christmas. This is not marketing. It is a trend affecting the whole industry, and it raises a far deeper question.
