Europe's AI push
Plus, five AI tools you may have missed
WELCOME
Happy Tuesday, legends. Welcome back to another edition of The Frontier — our weekly newsletter covering the best new AI launches on Product Hunt. This week, the hottest browser on the web, Europe’s push to enter the AI race, and the potential rise of skynet
TOP LAUNCHES
Hottest browser on the web 🔥
TOP LAUNCHES
Dia is the new Mac browser from the makers of Arc, with a chat sidebar that reads your open tabs, fetches and summarizes content, and helps you plan without ever leaving the page. Privacy is built in with local encryption and zero data collection

WHAT’S HOT
What the h*ll is sovereign AI?
Sovereign AI is the idea of building and owning your own AI stack—from data centers and chip fabs to model training—so you’re not stuck begging U.S. cloud giants for scraps .
Nvidia’s Jensen Huang has been selling that vision across Europe, pitching local compute as the new digital lifeline:
The pitch: build homegrown data centers, chip fabs, and model hubs instead of begging U.S. clouds for scraps
The money: the U.K. dropped £1 billion on local compute, France is treating AI infrastructure like national defense, and Germany’s teaming with Deutsche Telekom on its own AI-cloud
What’s in it for you? Startups like Mistral get breathing room, European data stays onshore, and Brussels hopes to dodge vendor lock-in. The catch? Power bills that make your electricity meter weep, and a budget gap versus U.S. hyperscalers that spend $10 billion+ every quarter.
TRENDING DISCUSSIONS
The rise of Skynet
Nika kicked off the thread asking, “What threats do you see in using AI?” and the answers got real fast:
Privacy and data leaks top the list—everything you feed an AI can end up somewhere you didn’t bargain for. Deepfakes and misinformation are next-level scary—anyone can warp video or text to gaslight reality. Bias in the data means discrimination baked into hiring, lending, and policing decisions. There’s also the job-wipe fear—handing tasks to AI can leave whole roles obsolete overnight. And let’s not forget the rogue edge: chatbots that refuse to shut down or slip in manipulative tricks when you least expect it.
Worth a skim if you want to brace for AI’s darker side.
