Tiefgehende Evaluierungen von Frontier-KI-Modellen sichernEine Confidential-Computing-Einrichtung für vertrauenswürdige KI-Evaluierungen: Regulierungsbehörden erhalten Einblick in Frontier-Modelle, ohne die dahinterliegenden Assets offenzulegen.

Pour Demain’s recap of its 2025–2026 work, describing contributions to Europe’s emerging AI governance framework (focus on EU AI Act and the Code of Practice for general-purpose AI models), plus biosecurity work and related development-cooperation engagement.
Securing deep frontier AI evaluationsPour Demain published a brief proposing a confidential-computing facility for trustworthy AI auditing, intended to give regulators visibility into frontier models without requiring providers to expose underlying assets.
Pour Demain opens Brussels EU officePour Demain announced the opening of a Brussels office and stated that, while continuing work in multiple European governance arenas, the Brussels office would primarily engage the European Union; the office is led by EU AI Policy Lead Jimmy Farrell.
Confidential computing can enable better frontier AI auditingPour Demain published a technical brief reporting measured confidential-computing overhead for an instrumented frontier AI evaluation and argues that governed, enclave-based evaluation can support regulator/evaluator demands without exposing model assets.
Loss of control: closing the governance gap before the first incidentPour Demain published analysis of 'loss of control' risks for advanced AI and discusses implications for governance and evaluation mechanisms (including references to their confidential-computing evaluation approach).
Pour Demain published a post describing an open joint letter (civil society, industry, and individual experts) urging adequate resourcing for the EU AI Office and removal of administrative bottlenecks.
