DEN HAAG (ANP) - Demissionair premier Dick Schoof vindt het een positieve ontwikkeling dat de Amerikaanse president Donald Trump de aangekondigde heffingen voor Europese landen weer heeft ingetrokken. "Positief dat de weg naar de-escalatie is ingeslagen en dat de 10 procent importtarieven van tafel zijn", laat hij op X weten.
BRUSSEL (ANP) - De ingelaste EU-top over de Groenland-crisis gaat door, laat een woordvoerder van de voorzitter van de EU-leiders AntĂłnio Costa weten. De EU-leiders komen donderdagavond alsnog bij elkaar, ook nu de Amerikaanse president Donald Trump afziet van importheffingen voor Europese landen die meededen aan een verkenningsmissie in Groenland.
Trump zegt de heffingen af te blazen omdat er een raamwerk zou zijn voor een Groenland-deal, zei hij na een gesprek met NAVO-chef Mark Rutte. Details over dat raamwerk zijn nog onbekend.
Playful idiosyncrasies and bouts of whimsy bubble up in the works of Yuko Shimizu.

Shimizu has previously taught at Quarantine, a unique residency off the coast of Menorca, Spain, where artists are invited to disconnect from tech in order to reconnect with the creative process and one another.

Eightfold AI, a venture capital-backed AI hiring platform used by Microsoft, PayPal and many other Fortune 500 companies, is being sued in California for allegedly compiling reports used to screen job applicants without their knowledge. From a report: The lawsuit, filed on Tuesday accusing Eightfold of violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act shows how consumer advocates are seeking to apply existing law to AI systems capable of drawing inferences about individuals based on vast amounts of data.
Santa Clara, California-based Eightfold provides tools that promise to speed up the hiring process by assessing job applicants and predicting whether they would be a good fit for a job using massive amounts of data from online resumes and job listings. But candidates who apply for jobs at companies that use those tools are not given notice and a chance to dispute errors, job applicants Erin Kistler and Sruti Bhaumik allege in their proposed class action. Because of that, they claim Eightfold violated the FCRA and a California law that gives consumers the right to view and challenge credit reports used in lending and hiring.
