The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency said attacks against Europe’s largest nuclear power plant have put the world “dangerously close to a nuclear accident”. Without attributing blame, IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi said his agency has been able to confirm three attacks against the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant since 7 April. “These reckless attacks must cease immediately,” he told the Security Council on Monday. “Though, fortunately, they have not led to a radiological incident this time, they significantly increase the risk … where nuclear safety is already compr...

The clamour for European companies to embrace a four-day working week has risen since the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, the 40-hour workweek in the United States is in the crosshairs after being a standard work practice for more than eight decades with members of the US Congress wanting to give hourly workers an extra day off. Senator Bernie Sanders, a one-time presidential candidate and a far-left independent from Vermont, introduced a bill last week that would shorten to 32 hours the amount of time many Americans can work each week before they're owed overtime. Four-day week: Which countries are e...

President Joe Biden delivered a defiant argument for a second term in his State of the Union speech Thursday night, lacing into GOP front-runner Donald Trump for espousing "resentment, revenge and retribution" and for jeopardising freedom at home and abroad. Biden fired multiple broadsides at "my predecessor" without ever mentioning Trump by name, raising his voice repeatedly as he worked to quell voter concerns about his age and job performance while sharpening the contrast with his all-but-certain November rival. The scrappy tone from Biden was a sharp break from his often humdrum daily appe...

US lawmakers will hold a committee hearing on a new bill that proposes to ban TikTok if the Chinese company behind the app doesn’t sell it to someone else. Congressmen Mike Gallagher, a Republican, and Raja Krishnamoorthi, a Democrat, backed by a dozen other politicians, introduced the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act earlier this week. The legislation would give ByteDance, the Chinese company behind TikTok, an ultimatum: either sell to a non-Chinese entity within 165 days or it will be prohibited from app stores and web hosting until the company complies...

Legisladores y reguladores de Washington han empezado a plantearse cómo regular la inteligencia artificial (IA) en la atención de salud, y la industria de la IA cree que es muy probable que lo hagan mal. “Es un problema de enormes proporciones”, afirmó Bob Wachter que preside el Departamento de Medicina de la Universidad de California-San Francisco (UCSF). “Existe el riesgo de que se use artillería pesada y regulemos en exceso”.

The US has gathered highly sensitive information about Russian anti-satellite weapons that has been shared in recent weeks with the upper echelons of government, according to four anonymous sources who were briefed on the information. The intelligence sparked an urgent but vague warning on Wednesday from the Republican head of the House Intelligence Committee, who urged the Biden administration to declassify information about what he called a serious national security threat. Catching the White House off-guardRepresentative Mike Turner gave no details about the nature of the threat, and the Bi...

In the battle to control health care costs, hospitals are deploying their political power to protect their bottom lines. The point of contention: For decades, Medicare has paid hospitals — including hospital-owned physician practices that may not be physically located in a hospital building — about double the rates it pays other doctors and facilities for the same services, such as mammograms, colonoscopies, and blood tests. The rationale has been that hospitals have higher fixed costs, such as 24/7 emergency rooms and uncompensated care for uninsured people. Insurers, doctors, and consumer ad...

Lawmakers and regulators in Washington are starting to puzzle over how to regulate artificial intelligence in health care — and the AI industry thinks there’s a good chance they’ll mess it up. “It’s an incredibly daunting problem,” said Bob Wachter, the chair of the Department of Medicine at the University of California-San Francisco. “There’s a risk we come in with guns blazing and overregulate.” Already, AI’s impact on health care is widespread. The Food and Drug Administration has approved some 692 AI products. Algorithms are helping to schedule patients, determine staffing levels in emerge...
