European Lawmakers Pave the Way: Landmark Regulation Passed to Govern Artificial Intelligence



European lawmakers passed the world’s first significant regulation aimed at overseeing artificial intelligence (AI), a technology crucial in today’s tech investment landscape. The EU AI Act, introduced in 2021, categorizes AI into different risk levels, from "unacceptable" to high, medium, and low hazards, with corresponding regulatory measures. Expected to come into force in May after final checks and European Council endorsement, this landmark regulation sets a global precedent for AI governance. Despite achieving political consensus and parliamentary approval, the main challenge lies in effectively implementing these regulations, as emphasized by lawmaker Dragos Tudorache.

One of the most anticipated and ambitious projects in this field of AI is Neuralink, a brain-computer interface company founded by Elon Musk, the visionary entrepreneur behind Tesla and SpaceX. Neuralink aims to create a wireless device that can be implanted in the brain and connect it to a computer or a smartphone, allowing users to control devices, access information, and communicate with others just by thinking. Imagine controlling prosthetic limbs or enhancing cognitive abilities just by thinking.

For centuries, soldiers stood guard along the Great Wall of China, defending the heartland of the North China Plain from nomadic invaders like the Huns, and the ancestors of the Mongols.

Now, a new kind of protector stands stalwart on the wall, even as the unfinished parts of the great monument crumble away: biological soil crusts.

These mixes of lichen, moss, and cyanobacteria form a crusty surface atop loose soil, and play a major role in arid ecosystems, but in Northern China, they are protecting sections of the wall from wind and water erosion.

The founder of Cirque du Soleil, Laliberté is donating all the money required for his hometown to protect a large piece of natural riparian woodland and wetlands that sits adjacent to it.


A suburb of Montreal on the south bank of the Saint Lawrence River, Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville received $5 million from Mr. Laliberté, their most famous resident, for the purchase.
