Thoughts on AI, tech, and digital sovereignty. From Jönköping, Sweden.
85% of Nordic users want EU alternatives to American tech. Rosenbad's response was a new defense tech deal with the US, days before Trump's lawyers try to sink the data pact underneath every SaaS contract we run.
Hugging Face is reportedly being acquired for $13B. IBM and Together AI just locked open inference to NVIDIA. If your entire AI stack assumed "open source" meant "free and neutral forever," it's time to rebuild.
While Sweden argues over Ukrainian devs versus 1,400 SEK/hour consultancies, that whole fight is obsolete. The real question in 2026 is which 20% of your stack deserves human hands and which 80% you're insane to still be paying for.
Demis Hassabis and Jensen Huang can't agree if AGI is here or years away. Meanwhile your company still can't automate an invoice. That gap, not AGI, is the real crisis for 2026.
Trump's AI executive order got delayed and signed in chaos. Meanwhile thousands of CEOs admit AI did nothing for productivity. The real problem isn't Washington. It's that nobody agreed on what problem AI was supposed to solve.
Two open source tools got poisoned this week. GitHub says it's the trend, not the anomaly. While you debate AI code quality, attackers already automated the supply chain attack. Here's what to actually do.
A decade of market-size reports and 10-cent crypto picks, and enterprise blockchain still hasn't shipped. The reason: everyone's chasing money rails when the real win was always verification. AI agents just proved it.
The government just published a five-year digitalization strategy while healthcare IT collapses and public records erode. I've spent 20 years building software in Sweden. Here's why that timing isn't ironic, it's diagnostic.
Enterprises think switching to Llama or Mistral protects their data. It doesn't, if that model runs on someone else's GPU in someone else's cloud. Real sovereignty starts at the metal.
Every build vs buy framework you've used assumed software was the product. In the AGI era, the vendor is selling you dependency on their model's judgment. Here's why that should terrify Swedish founders.
Nvidia and Google just called AGI. Arm's new chip is already beating x86 in the data center. Meanwhile Swedish tech press said nothing today. That silence is the real story, and it's an org design problem, not a headline gap.
PwC just put numbers on what Jönköping manufacturers already felt: 75% of AI's economic gains go to 20% of companies. The rest are training data donors. Sweden needs to ask which side of that line it's on.
