STOCKHOLM — Executives at U.S. tech giants Google and Meta said that Europe’s artificial intelligence industry is being held back by excessive regulation, adding to rhetoric from Donald Trump’s administration that the region’s strict tech rules are choking innovation.Speaking at the Techarena tech conference in Stockholm, Sweden, public policy chiefs at both Google and Meta used the stage as a platform to voice their concerns about the bloc’s strict approach to regulating technologies such as AI and machine learning.”I think there is now broad consensus that European regulation around technology has its issues, and sometimes it’s too fragmented, like GDPR…

Healy: That’s how Trump thinks, too. The world is there for the carving.Gessen: I think that Trump is likely to find this irresistible.

I am saying this based on what Trump and Putin (and Pete Hegseth, and Putin’s foreign minister, Sergey…

Por encima del puerto, donde pequeñas embarcaciones salpicadas de sangre de pescado vuelven a la costa y hombres con bigotes incrustados de hielo descuartizan focas, hay un edificio de dos pisos donde trabaja Palle Jeremiassen. Él es el alcalde de Ilulissat, una pequeña ciudad del círculo polar ártico, y hoy tiene un día ajetreado.Los intensos vientos acaban de destruir el camino que lleva al mejor lugar para pescar en el hielo, y los pescadores —algunos siguen ostentando pantalones de piel de oso polar— se están enfadando.En otro asentamiento más al norte, el hielo es demasiado delgado para atravesarlo. Los groenlandeses…
A few weeks ago, I warned that the second Trump administration might be squandering the tolerance and good will that Washington had long received from the world’s major democracies. Instead of seeing the United States as a mostly positive force in world affairs, these states might now “have to worry that the United States is actively malevolent.” That column was written before Vice President J.D. Vance gave his confrontational speech at the Munich Security Conference, before President Donald Trump blamed Ukraine for starting the war with Russia, and before U.S. officials appeared to preemptively offer Russia almost everything it wants…

Andrii Pobihai usó su uniforme militar en el funeral de Bucha, aunque está retirado.
