Wessel Simons

Wessel Simons is an editor and co-architect behind AI World Today. He writes about artificial intelligence, digital sovereignty, geopolitics, and the power shifts emerging from the rise of AI systems.

His focus is on the strategic layer of AI: who owns the infrastructure, who trains the models, who controls the data—and what that means for Europe. In his analyses, he connects technological innovation with economic interests, regulation, and geopolitical tensions.

Wessel closely follows developments around companies such as OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google DeepMind, as well as European AI initiatives, cloud infrastructure, and the broader shift from AI as a tool to AI as a lever of power.
