The exposure did not. https://hikariblue.com/newsroom/2026-07-07-the-deadline-moved https://hikariblue.com/newsroom/2026-07-07-the-deadline-moved Tue, 07 Jul 2026 14:00:00 +0000 The Hikari Blue team Regulation The EU AI Act high-risk deadline slid from August 2026 to December 2027. What still bites in August, and why the risk never moved with the date. The agent no one owns https://hikariblue.com/newsroom/2026-07-03-the-agent-no-one-owns https://hikariblue.com/newsroom/2026-07-03-the-agent-no-one-owns Fri, 03 Jul 2026 14:00:00 +0000 The Hikari Blue team Execution risk Ask each agent in production who owns it and who can stop it. In most enterprises, no one can answer. The inventory is the first control. What actually lands on August 2 https://hikariblue.com/newsroom/2026-07-02-what-lands-on-august-2 https://hikariblue.com/newsroom/2026-07-02-what-lands-on-august-2 Thu, 02 Jul 2026 14:00:00 +0000 The Hikari Blue team Regulation The Digital Omnibus moved the high-risk deadline to December 2027. The enforcement machine goes live on schedule. The board question that follows. Govern the action, not the model. https://hikariblue.com/newsroom/2026-07-02-govern-the-action-not-the-model https://hikariblue.com/newsroom/2026-07-02-govern-the-action-not-the-model Thu, 02 Jul 2026 14:00:00 GMT The Hikari Blue team Governance Governance in agentic AI has moved from the model to the execution layer, where agents call tools and take action. NIST is standardizing agent identity and authorization. The board question is whether you can prove what your agents did. The fox in the henhouse paradox. https://hikariblue.com/newsroom/2026-05-17-fox-in-the-henhouse https://hikariblue.com/newsroom/2026-05-17-fox-in-the-henhouse Sun, 17 May 2026 14:00:00 GMT The Hikari Blue team Strategy When you deploy OpenAI, Anthropic, or any other model provider directly at the core of your operations, who captures the value of that usage ? The integration, alignment, and governance layer is where enterprise AI value now concentrates, and the EU AI Act will soon make documenting it mandatory. Silence on AI is a decision. https://hikariblue.com/newsroom/2026-05-05-silence-on-ai https://hikariblue.com/newsroom/2026-05-05-silence-on-ai Tue, 05 May 2026 14:00:00 GMT The Hikari Blue team Strategy French CEOs are stuck on AI. They repeat the same reassuring phrase, and that phrase postpones the three conversations that actually decide the company's next decade. AI does not replace thinkers. It amplifies builders. https://hikariblue.com/newsroom/2026-05-02-ai-amplifies-builders https://hikariblue.com/newsroom/2026-05-02-ai-amplifies-builders Sat, 02 May 2026 14:00:00 GMT The Hikari Blue team Strategy From Brynjolfsson to Musk, the leading voices on AI converge on one frame. AI is not a technology question. It is a test of sovereignty : individual, entrepreneurial, civilizational. Accenture, Copilot, and the consulting paradox. https://hikariblue.com/newsroom/2026-04-27-accenture-copilot-paradox https://hikariblue.com/newsroom/2026-04-27-accenture-copilot-paradox Mon, 27 Apr 2026 14:00:00 GMT The Hikari Blue team Consulting disruption The full-scale deployment of Microsoft 365 Copilot across Accenture is being framed as a landmark in enterprise AI adoption. It may, in fact, signal something more structural.
