Decision follows backlash from Italian government and European Commission
The jury of the Venice Biennale has quit just days before the prestigious art exhibition is due to begin, amid a row over the decision to allow Russia to participate.
The resignation of the five-member international jury was announced late on Thursday in a brief statement by the Venice Biennale organisers, and came a day after the Italian culture ministry sent inspectors to Venice in search of information about the decision to allow Russia to have a pavilion at the event.

Samsung Electronics on Thursday reported record quarterly profit driven by a 49-fold jump in chip income, saying it expects a severe supply shortage to deepen next year as clients spend on AI, driving up prices of its memory chips.
A boom in the construction of AI datacentres has spurred Samsung and chipmaking peers to allocate production capacity to advanced chips that Nvidia uses in its so-called AI accelerators. Even so, chipmakers are struggling to meet demand while the move also squeezes the supply of conventional chips.

Into the woods they went, these ironically titled “Heroes”, chopping and being chopped in the guilty depths of the German forest.

From George Clooney in ER to Noah Wyle in The Pitt, emergency department doctors have long been popular heroes. But will it soon be time to hang up the scrubs?
A groundbreaking Harvard study has found that AI systems outperformed human doctors in high-pressure emergency medicine triage, diagnosing more accurately in the potentially life and death moments when people are first rushed to hospital.

Het kabinet heeft de Tweede Maasvlakte op het oog voor nieuwe kerncentrales. Voor onze regio kan dat, als de kerncentrales er daadwerkelijk komen, veel gevolgen hebben. Er komen kansen voor werk en economie, maar er zijn ook zorgen over drukte en natuur, blijkt uit onderzoek dat de gemeente Rotterdam liet uitvoeren.
