Ghana welcomes Pope's apology over Catholic Church's role in slavery Ghana has welcomed Pope Leo XIV's apology for the Catholic Church's historic role in slavery, describing it as an act of moral courage that was important in the global pursuit of truth, human dignity and justice. The Pope issued the clearest apology yet for the Church's involvement in legitimising slavery and its delay in condemning it for centuries. The apology was published on Monday in the Pope's first major teaching document of his papacy, which also focused on the dangers of artificial intelligence (AI) . Ghana was a major hub for the transatlantic slave trade when millions of people were captured and loaded on to ships, never to return home. Between the 16th and 19th Centuries, 12-15 million Africans were shipped to the Caribbean, with about two million dying during the journey.

Plus: NASA unveiled plans for three uncrewed missions to the Moon this year. Here at we understand exactly how relentless the pace of news from the world of artificial intelligence feels New models and capabilities crop up as fast as we can cover them, and the ripple effects they send through tech and wider society are never far behind. Our unique strength lies in cutting through the day-to-day noise to help you understand what's really happening, and what lies around the corner. That's why we created our list of 10 Things That Matter in AI Right Now, unveiled at our flagship AI event EmTech AI a few weeks back ( check the list out if you haven't already!) And it's why we publish so many stories dedicated to explaining how AI works, and what's coming next . We also regularly run live subscriber-only Roundtables events--you can still catch up on last week's session, where we explored how AI might enter the physical realm via world models.

Samsung averted fears of a strike after the deal was made to pay special bonuses to employees at the world's largest memory chipmaker. Samsung averted fears of a strike after the deal was made to pay special bonuses to employees at the world's largest memory chipmaker. Employees at Samsung Electronics's memory chip division are to receive bonuses averaging about £310,000 each through a landmark profit-sharing agreement, as the AI boom drives up chipmakers' profits. Fears of a strike at Samsung were averted on Wednesday after two unions for the world's largest memory chipmaker said that 74% of the 62,616 workers who cast their votes had backed the deal. The agreement, mediated by South Korea's government, means Samsung will set aside 10.5% of operating profits at its semiconductor division to pay special bonuses to its chip workers.

VILNIUS/STOCKHOLM/LONDON - Ukrainian drones have strayed into Baltic countries' airspace in recent weeks, sowing confusion and raising tensions with Russia at a time when U.S. commitment to NATO's collective security is in question. The airspace incursions have occurred as Ukraine, seeking to land heavier blows on Russia four years after Moscow's full-scale invasion, uses exploding drones to hit Russian Baltic ports that handle nearly 40% of national oil and gas exports. In most cases, Kyiv and the Baltic states have confirmed the stray drones are Ukrainian but have blamed Russia for causing them to deviate from their flight path with the use of electronic defenses that jam or spoof signals.

Taiwan's economy is booming thanks to AI. For Li, an engineer at Taiwanese computer giant ASUS, the AI boom sweeping Taiwan has made it an exciting time to work in tech. Taiwan is a semiconductor powerhouse, producing about 90 percent of the most advanced chips used to power leading AI models such as ChatGPT and Claude. Still, Li worries that the spoils of Taiwan's AI windfall are not being shared equally. "Most industries unrelated to tech don't seem to be feeling the benefits, so it doesn't feel evenly distributed at the moment," Li said, explaining that many of his former classmates working outside of tech do not appear to be doing as well.

Former Giants manager's daughter consulted ChatGPT before reporting altercation The 18-year-old daughter of former Yomiuri Giants manager Shinnosuke Abe said she consulted ChatGPT before reporting an alleged altercation with her father to a child guidance center. The 18-year-old daughter of former Yomiuri Giants manager Shinnosuke Abe said in a letter released on Tuesday that she had consulted ChatGPT before reporting an alleged physical altercation with her father to the child guidance center. Abe resigned from his position on Tuesday following his arrest on suspicion of physically assaulting his daughter . He has been released from police custody. According to reports, two of his daughters had been involved in an argument the previous day.

Samsung Electronics is the world's biggest supplier of the memory chips that go into everything from smartphones and electric vehicles to servers at artificial intelligence data centers. Samsung Electronics union members have voted in favor of a compensation deal that will hand chip workers an average bonus of about $340,000, staving off a strike that threatened to disrupt global chip supply. The company's largest union said the deal was signed after about 74% of its members voted in favor of the agreement. Workers accepted a wage proposal that was tentatively agreed by labor leaders last week, just 90 minutes before a planned strike at the world's largest memory chipmaker. Samsung's shares rose as much as 8% in Seoul on Wednesday.

'My job is going': U.K. workers squeezed out by AI In the U.K., the IMF estimated in 2024 that more than two-thirds of British workers perform tasks that AI could potentially carry out. London - When a client asked her a year ago to design a glossary to train an artificial intelligence system, translator Jessica Spengler realized she was going to train her own replacement. "That was the day I really thought ... my job is going," said the 52-year-old, who translates into English for German educational and historical organizations. In the U.K., where services account for around 80% of the economy, AI has become flexible, fast and inexpensive competition for many white-collar workers, with the impacts beginning to emerge. In a time of both misinformation and too much information, quality journalism is more crucial than ever.

Wall Street's AI winner hunt leads to seasoning maker in Japan Ajinomoto, known more as a seasonings and foods maker, holds more than 95% of global market share for insulating materials used in personal computers and data center servers. The beneficiaries of the artificial intelligence buildout are spreading far beyond technology high-flyers. Laura Lau found one in seasoning maker Ajinomoto. The Tokyo-based company is best known for making monosodium glutamate, or MSG, a flavor enhancer used in soups and vegetables. Its lesser-known business, called Build-Up Film, or ABF, makes insulating film used to package high-performance semiconductors.
