Regulating AI through shared, secure and sustainable approaches

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 20:01:49 GMT

The birth of the PC and the Internet created digital revolutions that changed our world. The advent of mainstream artificial intelligence (AI) is another inflection point that has ushered us into uncharted territories, leaving us to consider how best to move forward on this next generation-defining journey.The answer lies in acknowledging the magnitude of the challenges, risks and potential rewards of AI. And in fostering long-lasting cooperation that unlocks AI’s true value ethically and for the benefit of all.This isn’t just a matter for policymakers and industry leaders, but for nations and citizens on a global scale.With regulatory approaches to AI in danger of fragmenting across borders, this is the time to seek out collaborative synergies, similar in spirit to what has been developed by the US EU Tech and Trade Council, OECD, WEF, the G7 and others in this sphere. This isn’t just a matter for policymakers and industry leaders, but for nations and citizens on a global scale. No...

Network innovation: we need a stronger EU ecosystem

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 20:01:49 GMT

Open RAN must sound like the latest tech acronym. It is not. As telecoms operators embark on a €174 billion investment challenge to bring gigabit connectivity to all Europeans, Open RAN is a nonproprietary, open version of the Radio Access Network that will contribute to building 5G networks.South Korea, Japan, the U.S. and the U.K. have been betting big on this open technology: they launched coalitions, funded trials and set up innovation centers.Open RAN is a nonproprietary, open version of the Radio Access Network that will contribute to building 5G networks.The EU should defend and further extend its leadership position in network equipment. Today, we can pride ourselves with global technology champions such as Nokia and Ericsson, which are both heavily investing in the future of telecoms networks. With technology for radio access evolving very rapidly, new actors are emerging and other regions of the world are getting ready to challenge us.The EU can keep the lead by fostering ...

How big is this going to get? What to watch for in the Israel-Hamas battle

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 20:01:49 GMT

President Joe Biden and his aides have long tried to bring some calm to the Middle East, in large part so that the United States could focus more intensely on the greater long-term challenge: China. That strategy is now in danger due to this weekend’s stunning attack on Israel by the Palestinian militants of Hamas.As Israel retaliates, the possibility of a wider regional war looms, demanding more of Biden’s attention. Hundreds of people have died. Biden and his team will inevitably have less bandwidth to focus on Beijing. And that’s as the Biden administration’s attention already is stretched due to Russia’s war in Ukraine.It’s a frustrating dynamic for a White House that had notched what it believed were major, often unsung successes in the Middle East. (And hardly a novel one: Many presidents trying to focus their efforts elsewhere have been vexed by the Middle East.) That included freezing the war in Yemen and making headway on pre-existing efforts to help Israel build ...

Orioles’ lack of signature pitching additions exposed in ALDS Game 2 loss to Rangers | ANALYSIS

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 20:01:49 GMT

The Orioles entered the postseason as the best team in the American League. The same was true at the trade deadline. Both could prove disappointing for Baltimore.Dropping the first two games of the AL Division Series at home to the Texas Rangers, the Orioles find themselves on the brink of elimination. The players haven’t performed. Manager Brandon Hyde has made choices worth debating. But these losses trace back to the moves Baltimore’s front office did — and didn’t — make to fortify the club’s pitching staff.From mid-July to mid-August, the Orioles made three additions to their pitching staff, trading four prospects Baseball America ranked among their top 30 — but all outside the top 10 — for Shintaro Fujinami and Jack Flaherty while claiming Jacob Webb on waivers.Fujinami didn’t make Baltimore’s ALDS roster. Webb did but surrendered a home run in each of the first two playoff games, the first leading to the win...

Mike Preston’s report card: Position-by-position grades for Ravens’ 17-10 loss to Steelers | COMMENTARY

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 20:01:49 GMT

Here’s how the Ravens (3-2) graded out at each position after a 17-10 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers (3-2) in Sunday’s Week 5 game at Acrisure Stadium:QuarterbackLamar Jackson completed 22 of 38 passes for 236 yards and rushed six times for 45 yards. He played well through three quarters, but his receivers didn’t help him by dropping four passes, all of them for possible touchdowns. But in crunchtime, Jackson had a pass picked off in the end zone with 4:10 remaining after the Ravens recovered a fumbled punt return deep in Pittsburgh territory and then got stripped on an attempted pass nearly three minutes later. Jackson has to learn how to win games late in the fourth quarter to become a top QB in this league. Until then, he is good, just not good enough. Grade: C+ReceiversWho didn’t drop a pass in this game? Rashod Bateman dropped a possible touchdown pass, and so did Zay Flowers and Nelson Agholor. Even tight end Mark Andrews let one in the end zone sl...

Mike Preston: Until they prove otherwise, these are the same old Ravens | COMMENTARY

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 20:01:49 GMT

It’s not just the offense that’s a work in progress — it’s the entire team.The Ravens talked about being a playoff contender, and maybe they are, but it’s hard to take them seriously right now. They aren’t ready for prime time.Two weeks ago, they lost to the Indianapolis Colts in a game they should have easily won. Then on Sunday, they lost, 17-10, to Pittsburgh in a game in which they should have buried the Steelers.“It just felt like at times, that there was just too many things going wrong,” Ravens tight end Mark Andrews said. “It’s almost like a sleeping giant, man. We need to wake up.”There aren’t enough fingers and toes to point out the problems. Coaches keep making bad decisions. Receivers can’t catch or stay healthy. The quarterback melts down under pressure. Offensive linemen can’t pass-block. The defense can’t come up with key third-down stops in crunchtime.In the words...

Ravens collapse against Steelers as mistakes accumulate in ugly 17-10 loss: ‘Gotta clean it up’

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 20:01:49 GMT

The Ravens were on the Steelers’ 23-yard line facing a fourth-and-2. Quarterback Lamar Jackson had just connected with wide receiver Nelson Agholor for 8 yards and the clock was ticking toward the end of the first half. A chip-shot field goal attempt from the most accurate kicker in NFL history, Justin Tucker awaited.Except, with 19 seconds left, center Tyler Linderbaum thought he saw linebacker Kwon Alexander cross into the neutral zone and snapped the ball to Jackson, who wasn’t expecting it and quickly found himself being chased by Steelers outside linebacker T.J. Watt before flinging a pass well over the head of receiver Zay Flowers up the right sideline and watching it fall harmlessly to the turf in the end zone.Instead of almost certainly taking a 13-3 lead to the locker room in a game Baltimore had largely controlled over the first 30 minutes, the score stayed, ominously, a touchdown apart. The plan, Ravens coach John Harbaugh said, was to let the clock run down...

Lopez makes certain Twins return home with a split

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 20:01:49 GMT

HOUSTON — The Twins needed to leave Houston with a split, needed to salvage Game 2 after dropping the first game in the series. And Pablo López, with some help from Carlos Correa and Kyle Farmer, saw to it that the Twins would do just that.The last time López took the ball, he showed up to the ballpark wearing the jersey of his childhood hero, Johan Santana, and then emulated the man, pitching the Twins to their first playoff victory since Santana did so in 2004 in Game 1 of the Division Series.This time around, he was even more impressive.The Astros had a chance to push the Twins to the brink on Sunday. Instead, the man whom the Twins acquired this offseason to be their ace, bested the defending World Series champions, by throwing seven scoreless innings in the Twins’ 6-2 win over the Astros at Minute Maid Park in Game 2 of the American League Division Series.In doing so, he became just the third pitcher in Twins postseason history to throw seven scoreless innings, joining Santana ...
