Summary
The article advocates using private AI rather than public LLM APIs, drawing on several recent incidents: a Gemini outage, and access restrictions imposed by Washington on Anthropic and OpenAI models for non-US nationals. It stresses that usage-based pricing can spiral, citing GitHub Copilot and Uber, which reportedly used up in four months its 2026 budget for development tools and generative AI tokens. The author also notes, according to the Stanford AI Index Report 2025, a 56.4% rise in reported AI incidents in one year, and refers to the requirements of the AI Act and the GDPR on data traceability. He presents SecNumCloud qualification and private AI as responses that allow companies to keep control of availability, governance and costs.
