Novo Nordisk has found the formula to recover the profitability of Ozempic: fire 9,000 employees

by

The Pharmaceutical Novo Nordisk, manufacturer of Ozempic and Wegovy, is living one of the biggest turbulence in its history recent. After losing the favor of investors and a good part of its stock market value in the last year, the company has announced a drastic reduction of workforce that affects 9,000 employees around the world: 11.5% of the total staff. 9,000 layoffs, most in Denmark. Novo Nordisk has confirmed Through a statement the cut of 9,000 jobs in the coming years, a figure that represents 11.5% of its template globally, composed of 78,400 employees. Denmark, a country of origin of the pharmaceutical, will be the country that will receive the greatest impact of that measure, accumulating about 5,000 of the planned dismissals. The firm has not yet specified how layoffs will be distributed in the rest of international venues, since the decision is subject to “to the relevant consultations in accordance with local labor legislation.” The multinational has remarked that “this is a global transformation, and each country, headquarters or region will be affected differently,” underlining the international dimension of its labor adjustment process. Multimillionaire savings and business reorganization. With this cut, the pharmaceutical enhance business lines centered on the Research for new treatments For diabetes and obesity, putting greater emphasis on commercial initiatives. It should be remembered that, in origin, both Ozempic and Wegovy were born as a new treatment to enhance insulin generation, but its satiating effects turned out to be much more profitable. Among the objectives mentioned in the official statement include organizational simplification, the increase in speed in decision making and the reallocation of resources towards the strategic fields of the company. According to the statement, Nordisk “must evolve in a market that has become more competitive and consumer oriented”, which implies “a change of mentality and approach that allows us to be faster and faster.” According to published by Reutersthe company would have asked its employees to return to its full -time offices within that same restructuring and optimization plan for its operations. Bursatile bleeding as a trigger. The collapse of the stock market suffered by Novo Nordisk during the last year is the main trigger for the adjustment measure. As published the BBCthe price of your shares was reduced by 60% Since June 2024, losing 430,000 million in stock market capitalization. The situation was especially aggravated on July 30, with a decrease in 23% in a single day After the downward review Growth forecasts and the announcement of the relay in the executive direction. The official presentation of Mike Doustdar as the new CEO of the company has marked the beginning of this stage of changes, which aims to recover the confidence of investors and redefine the corporate culture of the company. Its first measure has had a positive impact on the markets, and after the announcement of the template cuts the value of its shares has increased by 3%.

A VHS tape, an AI and eight seconds of audio. That is all a woman needed to recover her lost voice

by

At some point from the 90s to a young Sarah Ezekiel they recorded her with a video camera and kept that recording In a VHS tape. In that little Sarah appearance he only spoke eight seconds, but almost three decades later those eight seconds have ended up being an incredible gift. One that He has returned his voice. Sara Ezekiel lost her voice in 2000, before smartphones became massive and allowed us, among many other things, to capture video easily. A motoneurone disease caused that both capacity and mobility in his hands lost just when he was going to have his second child, a child called Eric. As indicated in a BBC interview“I thought it would be fine, but after Eric was born, I quickly deteriorated.” In a few months he lost control of his hands, and shortly after he was incapable of any type of intelligible conversation. His marriage ended shortly after, and Sarah, in the care of his two children, found himself in a terrible situation. Eric, now 25 years old, just remembers his mother being paralyzed. Aviva, her 28 -year -old daughter, remembers when she realized that her mother was different. “I have that memory of asking him to prepare some strawberries and see that he was not able to cut them. He had to ask someone.” Five years after diagnosis, Sarah found A break Thanks to the Ocular monitoring technology. He could build words and phrases with the movement of the eyes, so that a voice synthesizer offered a synthetic voice similar to what for example I used Stephen Hawking. That was the beginning of a new life that adapted with joy. He became a volunteer of the association to affected by his illness, and painted again thanks to that same technology. And a few years later a small milestone began to take shape. The AI ​​and the “miracle” of the cloning of the voice A company called Smartbox He had announced what was going to provide cloned voices Free for a million people at risk of losing their voice or those who had already lost it for diseases such as cancer or motorcycle. They asked Sarah a voice recording to rebuild her, but the only thing Sarah had was an old VHS tape in which they had recorded her daughter Aviva and in which she spoke just eight seconds. That recording was a disaster. Image quality was bad, but In addition the sound was distortedwith people mixing when speaking and a television sound at full volume. Simon Poole, one of those responsible for Smartbox, thought it would not be possible. However, Poole managed to isolate Sarah’s voice thanks to the Voice Isolator application of Elevenlabs, Specialized company in This type of solutions. The problem is that the result lacked intonation and personality, and also had a strange American accent. To try to solve it, he used another application trained with thousands of voices to fill holes of this type of recordings and that could help recover a voice like Sarah’s. After achieving a result that he believed appropriate, he sent several phrases to Sarah with his cloned voice. He called and heard her how Sarah, hearing those phrases, almost broke out to cry. One of Sarah’s old friends, who met her before losing his voice, was “impressed by how realistic he sounded.” His daughter Aviva said he was also impressed although he admitted that he had to get used to her. “Hearing her now daily still surprises me.” For Eric “it has made an incredible difference”, because that voice can also include an intonation that shows that your mother is cheerful or angry. Sarah misses her authentic voice, but as she said, “I’m happy to be back. It’s better than being a robot“ Image | Gabriel Petry | Ursula Castillo In Xataka | The AI ​​was already able to clone voices and faces. Now also clon our way of writing

NASA lost the best camera in Jupiter. A suicide plan has served to recover it successfully

by

It seemed the premature end of the mission. The Junocam, the camera that has given us the most spectacular images of Jupiter and his moons, was dying. The relentless radiation of the gaseous giant had degraded the sweat sensor Juno turning his photos into a noise knead and corrupt lines. We had to try. With an overfruit of the moon ío just around the corner, the NASA team played the whole for the whole with a risky maneuver: cook the camera slowly at 600 million kilometers away to try to repair it. Although all at the control center endured breathing, the play worked. And not only that, but the miraculous rescue has sat a precedent for future space missions. Jupiter’s best photographer. Trying it was worth it because Junocam is not any camera. Is responsible for those Jupiter images that seem impressionist paintings and that, curiously, they are prosecuted by a community of fans on Earth. But its location is priced: it is out of titanium “bunker” that protects the main electronics of the Juno probe. NASA engineers knew that their useful life would be limited in one of the most radioactive environments of the solar system. The Calvary of the Junocam. The juno probe, that arrived in Jupiter in July 2016was designed to last until 2018, but its success has led NASA to extend the mission several times. During the first 34 orbits, Junocam worked perfectly. From orbit 47, radiation ravages began to be evident. For orbit 56, in November 2023, the situation was critical. “Almost all the images were corrupt,” admits NASA In a statement. The planet Jupiter and the moon ío photographed by Juno before and after repair A repair to all or nothing. Diagnosing the failure of a component at millions of kilometers is a titanic task. Repairing is a miracle. The clues pointed to a damaged voltage regulator at the camera power supply. With few options, the team resorted to a process called annealing or Annealing. The idea was, in essence, to heat the material and then cool it slowly, with the hope that heat would repair microscopic defects at the atomic level. “The annealing can sometimes alter a material such as silicon at the microscopic level, but we did not know if this would solve the damage,” explains Jacob Shaffner, chamber engineer. Forged on fire. NASA sent a command to Juno so that the only heater in the Junocam raised its temperature at about 25 ° C, much more than usual. The result was a success … temporary. The camera sent sharp images for several orbits. But Jupiter does not forgive. As the probe entered the radiation belts, the damage returned more strongly. “After orbit 55, our images were full of stripes and noise,” says Michael Ravine, head of the instrument. With an upcoming one Near Iro of íoonly one option was left. The only thing they had not tried was to take Junocam heater to the fullest and see if a more extreme recovery would save us. The reward. The first week there were no improvements. The tension in the equipment was maximum. But just a few days after the encounter with ío, the images began to improve dramatically. By the time Juno went to just 1,500 kilometers of the most volcanic moon in the solar system, the camera worked almost as well as the day of its launch. The success of the maneuver allowed Juno to capture very unprecedented and unprecedented images of the northern pole. The images revealed mountains covered with sulfur dioxide frost and Lava rivers that allowed scientists to rebuild geological formations as fascinating as A lava lake with a glass mountain Inside. This achievement is the culmination of an extended mission that has led Juno to explore Jupiter’s great moons. First it was Ganímedes in 2021the largest satellite of the solar system, and then Europe in 2022. I was as follows on the list, and losing the main camera would have been a hard blow. The repair, of course, is not eternal. NASA informs that noise has begun to reappear in orbit 74. But the lesson learned is incalculable.

North Korea threw his “greatest war boat,” he sank instantly and now he is trying to recover it with … balloons

by

Last week a relevant event occurred in North Korea. The nation presented in society a destroyer who was going to become the largest warship in the nation, and for this he had announced the bombing and dish with all kinds of political representations. However, just touching water, The ship sank and ended sideways. Kim Jong-un did not come out of his astonishment and promised fix the ship In the short term. The space is showing that they are trying, although with mixed results. Balloon hypothesis. Satellite images over the weekend revealed the appearance of a kind of balloons Around the ship. South Korean and Western experts have speculated that these balloons could have various functions: Avoid new water leaks, prevent recognition from drones or relieve the weight that fell on the still stranded part on the dock. The objects have a form reminiscent of small airships or aerostatos, and some seemed to be equipped with stabilizing fins. Although traditional flotation structures such as those used by the United States (for example, air cameras under the helmet) were not detected, analysts believed that North Korean technical resources limit the options of rescue available. The position of the ship then, embedded between earth and sea, further aggravated the technical challenge, since any attempt to straighten it could fracture the keel and condemn the ship to its total scratch. Precarious advance. With this week’s entrance the satellite images captured by Planet Labs showed a great change. The North Korean frigate of Choi-Hyun class seems Finally straightened and now floated on its own in the port of Chongjin. This advance represented a modest achievement after public embarrassment that the accident for Kim Jong Un, who personally witnessed the disaster. Although Pyongyang had initially affirmed that the damage was minor and that the repair would take “About ten days”the complexity of the situation, the lack of adequate facilities and the little transparency of the regime generate doubts about the true state of the ship. Beyond Parallel and 38 North have confirmed that They have been completed the first rescue operationsbut they warn that it is still A long way to go before the frigate can be considered restored or ready for incorporation into the fleet. Technical details and limitations. The most recent image shows the boat (about 5,000 tons of displacement) floating in the center of the port, surrounded by other auxiliaries and with what they seem to be, again, rescue balloons and temporary ramps around them. Although the ship has recovered a vertical position, it presents a slight inclination towards port, indicating that it still water is being pumped and stabilizing the structure. They have not been able to accurately evaluate the damage to the helmet due to the limited resolution of the images, but experts Like Jennifer Junof the CSIS, insist that continuous monitoring will be key to assess Real progress of the works. Since the Hambuk shipyard in Chongjin does not have a functional dry dock, it is possible that the ship should be transferred to another installation if severe structural damage is confirmed, something that cannot be discarded yet. Political pressure and propaganda. What’s doubt, the political pressure imposed by Kim Jong una (who ordered that the ship was repaired before the next plenary session of the Central Committee at the end of June) has added an almost theatrical emergency component to recovery efforts. However, both analysts and South Korean military sources consider extremely unlikely that this period can be fulfilled. The reason? The lack of a Public Evaluation credible the state of the ship and the insistence of the regime to project efficiency at all costs contrast with the visible evidence: blue canvases covering damaged sections and the suspicion of internal deformations in the keel, which could inevitably compromise the integrity of the helmet. A touched symbol. As we countthe injured frigate is the second unit of its class, after the launch of the Choi Hyon in Apriland represents the most ambitious attempt of North Korea of ​​modernizing its naval power. Equipped with multiple weapons systems, these vessels are intended to be a symbolic response to the naval presence of South Korea and the United States in the region. However, the failure of the launch and the improvised rescue works have exposed the technical and logistics limitations of the country. As now He pointed 38 Norththe ruling was probably due to a malfunction of the launch mechanismwhich left the helmet trapped by the bow on the ground while the stern rushed into the water. The result was a stranded vessel in A highly unstable anglethe worst possible scenario for any naval rescue operation. Uncertain end. In summary, and although the regime can proclaim having made an advance by having put the frigate again afloat, the operational reality seems Much more uncertain. The lack of visual evidence of the state of the helmet, the absence of a suitable dry dock and the political pressure For fulfilling unreal terms they draw a panorama in which the ship could end up being more useful as a propaganda symbol than as a functional element of the North Korean navy. At the moment, the ship remains in a floating limbo: straightened, or almost, and without being operational. And above all, exposed to International viewdespite all attempts for cover Its rugged story and progress.

Between 1946 and 1990, Europe sank 200,000 radioactive barrels in the Atlantic Ocean. France prepares to recover them

by

France will undertake this month of June a mission to map and study the state of the more than 200,000 drums with radioactive material that several European countries sank at the bottom of the sea. The objective: evaluate their environmental impact and study if it is viable to recover them. A practice today unthinkable. For more than four decades, between 1946 and 1990, the norm for several European countries was to pour radioactive waste of very low activity in the oceanic depths. More than 200,000 barrels loaded with gloves, laboratory materials and nuclear samples were sunk in the northeast Atlantic abyssal plains, more than 4,000 meters under the surface of the oceanan internationally prohibited custom by the 1993 London Convention. Better late than never. Although a good part of the radioactivity has disappeared thanks to the short half-life of the CESIO-134 or iron-55 isotopes, so far there has been no state-level effort to recover them. The National Center for Scientific Research in France (CNRS) will be launched at the middle of June With the nodssum missionwhich does not have as its immediate objective the recovery of the 200,000 barrels (a task of titanic proportions), but an exhaustive analysis of the containers, the behavior of the radionuces in the deep ocean and their interaction with the marine ecosystems to make a decision on which one to recover and how to recover them. A robot submarine and fishing networks. The Nodssum project will take place in two major campaigns. The first phase will be a recognition mission that will sail on June 15 and will run until July 11. The protagonist will be the ULYX Submarine Autonomous Robot of the French oceanographic fleet, capable of descending up to 6,000 meters. In its first scientific dives, Ulyx will navigate about 70 meters above the seabed to map with a high resolution Sónar the main discharge zone and identify the location of barrels. Then, it will approach up to 10 meters to photograph them. This phase also includes the initial shot of water samples, sediments and fauna, but without approaching the drums. Scientists will use nasas to capture fish and crustaceans with which to determine the effect of waste on marine life. The barrels will not move until 2026. Taking advantage of the data collected in the first phase, the second mission will use a robot with remotely operated arms, Victor or Nautile, to directly observe the barrels and take samples around it for a more detailed analysis. These data will be those used to determine if necessary, and feasible, selective recovery operations in the future. Security will be the axis of the entire project, which includes a robust radioprotection protocol supervised by the France Nuclear Safety Agency. In addition to amending past errors, the mission will be a unique opportunity to measure the long -term consequences of storing at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean hundreds of thousands of radioactive waste.

We have been trying to recover the concentration for years using white noise. These researchers believe that we are self -taught

by

In 1984, the German director Philip Gröning He wrote to the prior of the Great Cartuja requesting permission to record a film about the isolated and lonely life of the Cartujos monks in the heart of the French Alps. That is, about the great silence. The monks told him they had to think about it and thought about it for 16 years. He left everything recorded in ‘Into the great silence‘And every time I cross the movie I think about the same thing: that this deep and dense silence is an endangered species. In the modern world We can only use noise cancellation And, if perhaps, put on white, pink or brown noise. Or we believed. But is it really for something? That is what Joel T. Nigg and his colleagues from Oregon Health & Science University have wondered. In A recent article They have systematized everything that is known so far and, although there is good news, their conclusions are a jug of cold water. To start because, although it is an issue that is spoken a lot, there is no quality research that is based. NIGG’s team He just found 13 Useful studies (with 335 participants in total). The sample was limited, but enough to explore how the different types of noise affect the attention and cognitive function in young children and adults. And what have they discovered? Indeed, as we thought“White and pink noise improve performance in tasks that require attention for those who have ADHD symptoms.” For going to the data, they found “a small but significant positive effect (improvement of between 8 % and 10 %) in the executive care” of these people. In addition, the results are surprisingly consistent. In fact, it seems, those who were not medicated, obtained better results. What is the problem, then? That the effect is reverse in the case of people who did not have ADHD. “In this case, white and pink noise negatively affected the performance in the task,” Emily Reynolds explained. A notice to navigators. Because on the one hand, it is a good sign that, often, the information we obtain online, from mouth and even the theoretically reliable sources. The evidence available in these fields is usually much more anecdotal than we would like to confess. However, we should not exaggerate the conclusions of this work. After all, as the authors themselves saidthe investigation is scarce and not as good as we would need. That allows us to draw some conclusions, discard some things; But do not unbrush all the pitch. So … we must stop putting white noise? At least we should rethink it if what we want is to concentrate. It can be used for other things and, who knows, there may be cases that are better than the alternative (listening to music, having the background TV …); But in general terms, it seems that it would be necessary to rethink it a bit.

This is what he estimates that I take Spain to recover from an “extraordinary” blackout

by

The press conference offered by Red Electrica (Ree) has allowed us to know the status of the situation after the general blackout that we have suffered in Spain. And above all, the time that the blackout is expected. “Between six and ten hours”. Those responsible have explained how the complete replacement of the system in all parts of the country could carry “between six and ten hours.” The estimate comes from simulations carried out above and also from the experience collected in blackouts that have occurred in other countries in the past. How Ree proceeds after the blackout. After the incident due to a collapse of tension in all the knots of the network, they explained in Ree, the essential thing is “Replace the different elements of generation and the transport network with tension so that when the stations obtain tension, it spreads through the different networks and start the propagation of tension.” Restitution has already begun. As indicated in Spanish Electricity, it has been possible to recover tension in areas near the borders with Portugal and Morocco, and both in the Catalonia area and the Basque Country is spreading tension to reach the transport stations. A gradual process. In the southern zone and center, tension has also been recovered at some points. This replacement process will be progressive in the different areas, they explain from Red Electrica and once it is possible to recover the tension in all transport regions, the supply to consumers can be replaced. An “exceptional and extraordinary” event. In Spanish Electric Electricity indicate that an incident of these characteristics had never happened and that “it is an exceptional and extraordinary incident.” They have insisted that they are focused on recovering the supply as soon as possible, and they have also highlighted that there are detailed prepared plans that indicate how to proceed and what steps continue to this type of problem. Unknown causes. In Spanish Electric Red have not given information about the causes of this general blackout. When asked about a potential cyber attack, government representatives have indicated that there is no record about the causes of the incident and “we cannot enter to speculate.” Image | Pere Jury In Xataka | The mass blackout is also affecting transport: Renfe informs of detainees and Aena of incidents

What is the “energy zero” and why the supply can go suddenly but it takes hours to recover

by

The general blackout in Spain is causing many problems at the level of transport or trade, and in the meantime hospitals are going to their emergency generators. The situation has been caused after the so -called “energy zero”. Energy zero. This is called the situation in which the flow of electricity in an electrical system is interrupted or significantly reduced, reaching zero. The question, of course, is why this problem occurs. Diverse causes. This event can occur for various reasons such as infrastructure failures, climatic events or great imbalances between supply and demand. Consequences. We are living them: lack of supply in essential homes, businesses and services such as transport, communications or health, in addition to damage to teams and the consequent economic impact. It has already happened in the Canary Islands. In June 2020 there was an energy zero in the south of Tenerife, and in fact in the Canary Islands there have been several similar episodes In recent years. The Governing Council approved in September 2022 a sanction of eight million euros to Red Eléctrica de España for the problems derived from that fall. And in the world. There have been large electric blackouts in various parts of the world for decades. In Italy, in 2003, 57 million people They were affected by a high voltage line affected by a series of fallen trees during a storm. In India, in July 2012, 700 million people They were affected by an electricity overdex. Chile suffered a recent blackout last February A very serious infraction of the Law of the Electric Sector. The law of the electrical sector that regulates these situations establish that these types of problems represent a very serious infraction. In article 64.31 The following is specified: “The interruption or suspension of the supply without the legal or regulation requirements established or outside the assumptions provided legally or regulation.” The supply goes fast, but slowly returns. In this type of event, the electricity supply goes completely in an instant, but its recovery is much more gradual and can take hours. From Red Electrica Español they indicated half an hour after the blackout how the supply begins to recover in the north and southern peninsular, but it will take some time that the recovery is complete. It is not known how exactly, but in some parts of Spain the electricity supply is already being recovered, they indicate media such as being.

Thus the “time thieves” act and how to recover your productivity

by

Starting from the humble basis of accepting that We are not robots but peoplewe can rarely be 100% efficient throughout the day, both when meeting the workday, studies or personal tasks. However, it is very likely that at the end of the study or the study session you have the feeling that You have not advanced In your most important tasks, even if you have not stopped for a moment. According to explained in the podcast Write About Now The writer and productivity expert Laura Vanderkam, this occurs because there are certain habits and routines that act as authentic time thievesremoving minutes and hours without you realizing. Identify and face them can make a difference between A productive day and one full of frustration that affects both your work performance and your personal well -being. Time escapes in small distractions The simplest thing is that the time you dedicate to a specific task ends by diluting, drop by drop, In other distractions. It may be that while you work in a project, you are distracted when you receive a notification, answer a message or check the mail. As they commented on the Asana productivity blogeach interruption can make you lose up to 20 minutes to recover the initial concentration levels. Thus, the minutes are added and, At the end of the day, you have lost a significant amount of time In activities that were not in your plans and, what is worse, that you don’t know where all that time has gone. These time leaks usually go unnoticed because they occur as short interruptions but, in reality, the sum of all of them has a huge impact throughout the day. How to discover what you waste your time The first step to combat time thieves is to become aware of them. Sometimes you know exactly what steals your timebut other times you need to analyze it thoroughly. A simple strategy is to write down for several days in what activities You use your time. This will allow you See patterns and detect habits They make you less efficient. Check the mail As soon as the notification appears on the icon, see a video on YouTube and realize that you have been 10 in a row or send a fast message to a friend and that, without realizing it becomes a 20 -minute conversation. All sum. Detecting and being aware of such behaviors is the first step to minimize them and avoid time leaks during Concentration periods. Another useful tool is the Automatic monitoring. In most cases, we are not even aware of the amount of time we use in tasks. Luckily, Technology does know. Currently, All operating systemsboth smartphones and computers, have a monitoring function of the use of applications. This function tells the time you spend daily (or weekly) in a certain application, which will help you discover if that time is reasonable Or, on the contrary, it is a time thief. The selfish side of time Discover that you spend several hours a day communicating with your classmates with Slack or Microsoft Teams, or seeing in a weekly graphic the time you have gathered are also ways to become aware of the time you dedicate. But much more important, an opportunity to adopt measures and reduce that time applying a “more selfish” profile. After all, Your time is a finite resource And it is necessary to learn to say no and impose limits. If you can’t avoid certain distractions by establishing the “monk mode” for deactivate all notifications And stimuli outside your task, at least limit your access during working hours. For example, you can adopt the strategy of “Ulysses contract“, establishing specific schedules to check emails and social networks, instead of doing so continuously. This helps avoid the habit of entering” just a moment “and end up wasting much longer than expected. On the other hand, nonlinear communication of slack or other professional messaging applications allow to adapt the rhythm of communication to your needs. Just let your colleagues know that You need concentration breaks in which you are going to concentrate on getting your job, and that you will answer as soon as you finish it, so that they do not expect an immediate response during those periods. Reduce meetings time can Look like a chimerabut being aware of the time you spend in video call applications such as Google Meet, Zoom or Teams can make you see the working time that takes you per day and if it is possible to reduce it. A first step is to cut in 10 minutes the usual 30 -minute stripes offered by default calendar applications. On average, attention remains for 23 minutesso if you manage to scratch those 10 minutes to each meeting, at the end of the day Time gain is very remarkable.

How the conversation is moving to recover the lost terrain

by

These days in Paris there was an international congress that had as an absolute focus the development of AI. The relevance of this meeting can be exceptional for the European Union, which announced an investment of 150,000 million euros in AI In the coming years, but above all it seems to have changed its position regarding the Law of AI. Less regulation, more innovation. As they point out In ReutersEurope intends to soften the regulation of AI to facilitate that the development of technology can be promoted in EU member countries. Simplify the regulation. Henna Virkkunen, the head of sovereignty, security and democracy in the European Commission, stressed that the European bloc will simplify the standards and implement them more friendly for companies. In comments to Reuters Virkkunen admitted that the regulations had to be reviewed because “there is too much regulation that overlaps. We will reduce the bureaucracy and administrative burden of our industries.” You have to catch up. French president Emmanuel Macron reaffirmed in the simplification message of Virkkunen’s regulation and added that “it is very clear that we have to resolve with the rest of the world” in the field of artificial intelligence. Even so, he stressed that “a reliable AI is necessary.” The Big Tech Council is unanimous. Like Pichai, CEO of Alphabet, commented in the event that “Europe’s productivity depends on using this emerging technology.” In Financial Times The words of Eric Schmidt stand out, I exceed Google, who said that Western countries should develop Open Source AI models so as not to lose the race with China. “Europe has to put the batteries,” he said. “The application layer is very powerful, and will make your Europe more efficient.” And that of US politicians, too. JD Vance, United States vice president, highlighted that the “massive” regulations of the EU in the matter of AI could “strangular” technology. Neither US nor the United Kingdom signed the agreement to develop a more open, inclusive and safe the AI ​​internationally. Is it too late? The change of speech in the EU arrives more than two years after Chatgpt initiated its particular revolution, and it remains to be seen if the words of European leaders are effectively translated into an impulse for the development of AI in Europe. The French startup Mistral and the Spanish Freeepik They are good examples that there are options to be competing with the best in this field, but the regulation of AI has not facilitated at all the advance of this segment in the old continent. Hopefully the words end in effect backed by facts … and that this support is immediate.
