Résumé
This fact sheet examines the emergence of cognitive warfare and the strategic risks that language models (LLMs) represent for asset management companies.We highlight that reliance on offshore AI tools can expose funds to subtle biases or targeted hallucinations, threatening the quality of their financial decisions.
When geopolitics enters your CRM.
For a long time, sovereignty was a matter of energy, currency or defense.
Today, it's also invited into the systems that help decision-makers think: CRM, DataRoom, BI... and now generative AI.
In most funds, ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini or Mistral have become cognitive assistants: investment memos, Excel templates, IC notes, monitoring, investor emails.
The risk is not that these tools will fall.
The much more subtle risk is that they become conditional: latency, quotas, bias, targeted hallucinations, degraded QoS.
This isn't censorship. It's not propaganda.
It's a probabilistic degradation of decision quality.
In a fragmented world, a fund's performance also depends on its ability to:
- master its data
- govern its AI
- protect its collective intelligence
This is what we call cognitive sovereignty.
We've just published AI & Data Sheet #32: "When geopolitics enters your CRM - From digital dependency to cognitive warfare"
A 5-minute read to open up a topic that many sense... but few dare formalize. And for the first time, I've recorded my voice on this 32nd edition of the podcast, for those who prefer audio, check out Apple Podcast, Spotify or the Bodic website (link below)
