Published Tue, 24 Dec 2024 13:27:33 GMT

LONDON — When Rishi Sunak announced in June that Britain would host the world’s “first major global summit” on AI safety later this year, it was meant to signal the U.K.’s leadership in the race to agree global standards for this powerful new technology. The U.K., he said, the following week, wanted to become the “geographical home” of global AI safety. But with the summit promised before the end of 2023, diplomats and industry figures say the guest list hasn’t been finalized, key details are yet to be announced and western allies are unclear about how it fits with existing work on setting global rules.Crucial questions remain, including an actual date for the summit and whether China will be invited.Now, allies want the U.K. to get a move on, according to officials from four countries.Tight timelinesThe summit, initially slated for “autumn,” is fast approaching, but officials and diplomats are still unclear about when it will actually take place.Deputy Prime Minister Ol...

Don’t get sick in Greece! Islands jammed with tourists, but critically short of medics

Published Tue, 24 Dec 2024 13:27:33 GMT

ATHENS — Greece’s idyllic islands are overflowing with tourists, but their medical system is cracking.The death of a heavily pregnant teenager and her unborn child are just two of at least nine likely preventable deaths in Greece this summer due to chronic shortages in ambulance and health care staff, even before the country came under siege from raging wildfires.Some island hospitals have no permanent general practitioners, relying entirely on a cycle of short term cover filled by staff from the mainland, enticed by cash incentives. And ambulance services are in an even worse state. On many islands in the Cyclades and the Dodecanese, barely one ambulance is available 24 hours a day. This problem isn’t unique to the islands; in Athens, around 50 ambulances are operating, instead of the 85 to 90 that are needed.“We need to redesign the ambulance service from scratch as there are huge gaps all over the country,” Giorgos Mathiopoulos, president of the Greek emergency ambulance se...

Francisco Lindor, Mets find way to win after Carlos Carrasco has inefficient start

Published Tue, 24 Dec 2024 13:27:33 GMT

So often this season, the Mets have failed to put all aspects of their game together. But Monday night at Citi Field, one element went wrong while another finally went right.The Mets picked up an inefficient Carlos Carrasco to down the Pittsburgh Pirates, 7-2 in the first game of a three-game series. Francisco Lindor went 2-for-3 with a double, two runs and a walk. He became the first Mets hitter to get at least 20 doubles, 20 home runs and 20 steals since Carlos Beltran did it in 2008. Jeff McNeil drove in two runs while Daniel Vogelbach, Jonathan Araúz and Brandon Nimmo each homered.Carrasco minimized the damage in a shortened outing during a night when he didn’t have his best put-away pitches. The right-hander needed 88 pitches to get through only three innings and the Mets went to bullpen after he labored through the third. However, Carrasco limited the Pirates to only two runs on four hits and walked three while striking out five.Carrasco gave up a run in the first a...
