Billionaire Twitter owner Elon Musk is again sounding warning bells on the dangers of artificial intelligence to humanity — and claiming that a popular chatbot has a liberal bias that he plans to counter with his own AI creation.Musk told Fox News host Tucker Carlson in a segment aired Monday night that he plans to create an alternative to the popular AI chatbot ChatGPT that he is calling “TruthGPT,” which will be a “maximum truth-seeking AI that tries to understand the nature of the universe.”The idea, Musk said, is that an AI that wants to understand humanity is less likely to destroy it.Musk also said he’s worried that ChatGPT “is being trained to be politically correct.” In the first of a two-part interview with Carlson, Musk also advocated for the regulation of artificial intelligence, saying he’s a “big fan.” He called AI “more dangerous” than cars or rockets and said it has the potential to destroy humanity. Separately, Musk has incorporated a new business c...

Jamie Dettmer is opinion editor at POLITICO Europe. KYIV — “I was on the streets for the Orange Revolution when I was in my last year at university in 2004, and I was on the streets again in 2014. So, the 10-year mark of when we tend to mount revolutions is approaching,” said Inna Sovsun, an opposition lawmaker for Ukraine’s liberal pro-European Holos party.And she suspects there’s another political upheaval on its way.Sat in a café overlooking Kyiv’s Independence Square, where nearly a decade ago hundreds of thousands of frustrated Ukrainians protested and toppled Viktor Yanukovych — Russian President Vladimir Putin’s satrap — the 38-year-old mother-of-one, whose partner is now serving as a combat doctor in Bakhmut, said the next uprising will aim to complete the work of the previous two Maidans, democratizing Ukraine and finally flushing out the corruption that’s been hampering the country’s development for decades.The 2014 Maidan Revolution had unforeseen consequences, of co...

Eastern Europeans face Brussels backlash over Ukraine grain bans

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:46:05 GMT

European Union politicians and officials have rounded on the front-line Eastern states of Poland, Hungary and Slovakia for imposing import bans on Ukrainian farm produce, denouncing the curbs as illegal and counterproductive.The three countries banned imports of Ukrainian grain and other food products over recent days, arguing the export surplus had flooded their markets and threatened the livelihoods of local farmers. The curbs have set the group on a collision course with Brussels while at the same time threatening the EU’s fragile solidarity in backing Ukraine’s fightback against Russia’s war of aggression.EU diplomats believe the import bans contravene both international and EU law — and will fail to achieve their goals.“Unilateral bans of individual countries won’t solve anything,” Czech Minister of Agriculture Zdeněk Nekula said.“We must find agreement throughout the EU on the rules under which agricultural commodities will transit fro...

Bank bailout reforms spark clash between Brussels and governments

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:46:05 GMT

The European Commission is on collision course with a group of EU capitals, led by Berlin, over plans to reform rules for bailouts of failing banks.The bloc’s executive wants to stop countries throwing public money at smaller lenders, which have until now escaped tougher rules and have continued tapping the public purse. Governments are worried they will end up footing the bill for collapses in other countries.The proposals, due to be published on Tuesday, were described as “contentious” by one EU diplomat, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue. The ensuing battle between the Commission and governments over the final shape of the legislation is likely to last months.A spate of banking failures in the U.S. has thrust the terror of bank runs and financial contagion from panicking depositors back into the spotlight. Despite that, the Commission isn’t going to find it easy to toughen up the EU’s regime.It’s just th...
