Miami Police said a man was arrested Tuesday for jumping in front of President Trump’s motorcade as he was leaving the courthouse in Miami. Police said 61-year-old Domenic Santana went too far and was the only person to be arrested during Trump’s visit. According to Santana he simply wanted to get his message across and he believes he did.

EU to get tougher on Kosovo as tensions flare

Published Fri, 07 Feb 2025 10:17:12 GMT

STRASBOURG — Brussels is ratcheting up pressure on Kosovo to de-escalate the situation in the north of the country with a proposal to block the Kosovar prime minister from participating in high-level events and suspend EU financial support for the Balkan country.The fresh pressure on Kosovar Prime Minister Albin Kurti follows a similarly tough line from the United States, as relations between Washington and Pristina hit a new low over frustration over the latest flare-up in the region. Over recent weeks, tensions erupted in the north of Kosovo — which is more than 90 percent ethnic Serbian — following the installation of Albanian mayors in the wake of April mayoral elections that the local Serb majority sat out. In widely condemned actions at the end of May, Serbs attacked NATO and Kosovar forces, as well as journalists.Tensions between Kosovo and Serbia have persisted since the brutal Balkan war in the late 1990s, after Kosovo’s bid to break away from Serbia. Kosovo decla...

Forget ChatGPT: Facial recognition emerges as AI rulebook’s make-or-break issue

Published Fri, 07 Feb 2025 10:17:12 GMT

The battle brewing over artificial intelligence in Brussels is about facial recognition. On Tuesday, the European Parliament’s plenary passed its version of the Artificial Intelligence Act after two years of wrangling. The text — backed by a coalition of Socialists and Democrats, center-right Christian Democrats of the EPP, liberals from Renew, and Greens — passed by a large margin, with 499 lawmakers giving it their final approval, 28 voting against and 93 abstaining. Yet until the very end, one issue threatened to scupper the deal: The Parliament’s text, as presented, would ban facial recognition.The Parliament wants to crack down on the use of facial recognition in public places, an area considered one of artificial intelligence’s riskiest uses.AIs powering facial-recognition cameras (and tools designed to identify individuals relying on other biometric indicators) are dogged by biases, sometimes struggling to tell non-white people apart, for instance.
