USA warns of AI dangers, Europe calls for more speed - Poland's Prime Minister warns of Russian attacks

In the USA, more and more leading IT experts are warning about the dangers of artificial intelligence. They are calling on politicians and tech companies to slow down the race for the best AI models and introduce stronger controls. In Europe, on the other hand, it's all about one thing: more speed so as not to lose touch with artificial intelligence. An international panel of experts has now presented a strategy for this. Accordingly, Europe does not necessarily need its own powerful AI models. It is much more important to secure access to the best models from the USA and China. Lisa Hegemann, head of the digital department at ZEIT, explains what the experts also suggest in order to strengthen the EU's position and at the same time ensure safe handling of powerful AI models.

Poland's Prime Minister Donald Tusk warns against Russian attacks on Polish territory. For weeks, Russian attacks have been moving closer and closer to the Polish border, said Tusk after a meeting of the crisis team. He could not rule out the possibility that Poland's territory would also be hit by attacks. Just last week, a Russian drone attacked and set fire to a train near the Polish border. The attack may have targeted diplomats. In addition, there had recently been air alerts in the Polish border area several times because Russian drones attacked Ukrainian territory just a few hundred meters away. Why are Russia's attacks moving further and further west? And is there a conscious escalation behind this? Jörg Lau, foreign policy correspondent for ZEIT, answers these and other questions.

And otherwise? The Huuuuupe and her story.
