Been thinking about this bit of the von der Leyden speech since yesterday. I think she may well be right. Or at least, she isn’t obviously wrong despite some of the sneering from US tech types. ec.europa.eu/commission/p...
By limiting the risks of AI, we can maximise the benefits. We have already done a lot. On gigafactories and tech sovereignty, for example. But the next leg of this race is not only about frontier models. Just as was the case with the printing press in times gone by. It was invented by a German inventor, but was mastered and applied across Western Europe.

We do not need to be the ones who develop the frontier technology to be the ones who draw the greatest value from it. The key is creating the value that AI has not yet delivered. Moving AI from the screen to the real economy and society. On the factory floor. On the hospital ward. In precision agriculture. In our energy grids. Smart grids. For autonomous driving. For defence.

This is where the real value is hidden. And it is where Europe has big advantages. We have world-class industries that sit on the highest-quality data. These data are a precious European treasure. They are what can power tailor-made industrial AI models.

Never before has a politician announced their intention to run for re-election on an explicitly pro-sleaze, anti-transparency ticket. Never before has a politician gloried in having enriched themselves by breaking the rules, and then demanded a mandate to continue doing so indefinitely

Nigel Farage’s 'Pro-Sleaze' By-Election Is A Sign Of Terminal Weakness
The Reform leader's desperate decision to call a back-me-or-sack-me by-election is a sign of a politician who knows he is finally being exposed for the man he really is, argues Adam Bienkov

Hot Take 2: if this is Mandelson's position, there is no reason for him not to issue a statement to this effect. If he has not issued a statement to this effect, the BBC's "understanding" of his actual position may be inaccurate. Stop letting people play this game.
Mandelson wants the BBC to report that he denies everything, but for some reason does not want to go on the record denying everything.

The Conservatives are now a far-right party. It will be tempting to engage with this policy on practicalities: Windrush times a hundred. Don't. Engage on the reprehensible ethics of wanting to deport people who've lived lawful, blameless lives just because they're poor (and mostly not white).

A lot of sensible people get squeamish at labelling Nigel Farage “far-right”, but his policy of cancelling the legal status of tens of thousands of settled immigrants can not be politically described as anything else. Reform are campaigning on a policy of cruelty & xenophobia.

Like all right-wing nationalists, Farage's will not give up power once he has it. For that reason, being wrong about everything does not worry him in the slightest. The same applies to Robert Jenrick. These people do not believe in or feel constrained by liberal democracy. They are Orbánists.
