Albania appoints AI bot 'minister' to fight corruption in world first

Al Jazeera

Albania appoints AI bot'minister' to fight corruption in world first Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama has put an artificial intelligence-generated "minister" in charge of tackling corruption in his new cabinet. Diella, which means "sun" in Albanian, was appointed on Thursday, with the leader introducing her as a "member of the cabinet who is not present physically" who will ensure that "public tenders will be 100 percent free of corruption". Corruption is a key factor in Albania's bid to join the bloc. Rama's Socialist Party, which recently secured a fourth term in office, has said it can deliver EU membership for Albania in five years, with negotiations concluding by 2027. Lawmakers will soon vote on Rama's new cabinet, but it was unclear whether he would ask for a vote on Diella's virtual post.

As Russian army inches closer, Ukrainians must decide to stay or go

BBC News

The white armoured police van speeds into the eastern Ukrainian town of Bilozerske, a steel cage mounted across its body to protect it from Russian drones. They'd already lost one van, a direct hit from a drone to the front of the vehicle; the cage, and powerful rooftop drone jamming equipment, offer extra protection. But still, it's dangerous being here: the police, known as the White Angels, want to spend as little time in Bilozerske as possible. The small, pretty mining town, just nine miles (14km) from the front line, is slowly being destroyed by Russia's summer offensive. The local hospital and banks have long since closed.



I Wasn't Sure I Wanted Anthropic to Pay Me for My Books--I Do Now

WIRED

I Wasn't Sure I Wanted Anthropic to Pay Me for My Books--I Do Now Anthropic agreed to a $1.5 billion settlement for authors whose books were used to train its AI model. As an author who fits that description, I've come around to the idea. A billion dollars isn't what it used to be--but it still focuses the mind. At least it did for me when I heard that the AI company Anthropic agreed to an at least $1.5 billion settlement This came after a judge issued a summary judgement that it had pirated the books it used. The proposed agreement--which is still under scrutiny by the wary judge--would reportedly grant authors a minimum $3,000 per book.

Ukraine strikes key Russian oil terminal in massive drone attack

BBC News

Ukraine has struck Russia's largest oil terminal on the Baltic Sea during one of its biggest overnight drone attacks in months. The aerial assault targeted the Primorsk oil port in the Leningrad region, the final station of the Baltic Pipeline System and a crucial hub for Russia's maritime exports, Ukraine's security services told multiple outlets. More than half of the 221 drones sent to Russian territory were intercepted over the Bryansk and Smolensk regions, where Lukoil facilities were also reportedly targeted, the Russian defence ministry said. Meanwhile, officials said two civilians were killed in Ukraine's Sumy region when a Russian glide bomb struck a village near the border. Authorities in the Leningrad region said 28 drones were brought down and that a fire had broken out at a vessel and a pumping station in Primorsk.
