Once again, digital tools are running ahead of regulators. Civil liberties must not be sacrificed to policing It is a familiar story. Extravagant claims are made on behalf of novel computerised tools. The public are told that this or that digital application or system is going to change the world for the better. Efficiencies will be unlocked and problems solved as human limitations are overcome by networked devices plugged into vast stores of data. Anyone who questions the narrative is a pessimist or, perhaps, a criminal. This appears to be the logic behind arguments put forward on behalf of one such tool – live facial recognition technology. Law-abiding citizens have “nothing to fear” from the police’s increased reliance on mounted cameras, said the Home Office minister, Sarah Jones, last month, after a high court challenge brought on human rights and privacy grounds failed. The use of AI-powered identification software, made by the Japanese company NEC, “only locates specifically wanted people”, she added. Last year, Ms Jones described the technology as “the biggest breakthrough for catching criminals since DNA”. Continue reading...

Iranian President Says Iran Willing To Prove Peaceful Nature Of Nuclear Program Iran has told other regional countries that it is ready to 'prove' that its nuclear program is peaceful in nature , and that it is willing to meet international standards in that regard, according to the Iranian presidency. This comes as Iran's Foreign Ministry has insisted that the nuclear issue be left out of talks related to ending the war with the US, with a statement saying that "at this stage, we do not have nuclear negotiations" - but which remains a key demand by Washington. Within years after the first Trump administration unilaterally pulling out of the earlier Obama JCPOA nuclear deal, the Iranians had booted IAEA inspectors from the country , citing that the deal was collapsing due to Washington policies, which included the reimposition of far-reaching sanctions. Anadolu Agency The appeal for international verification that its program is for peaceful nuclear energy and domestic consumption comes via Turkish media this week : Iran is fully prepared to meet global standards to demonstrate the peaceful nature of its nuclear program, the presidency said on Tuesday. The remarks came during a phone call between President Masoud Pezeshkian and Iraqi Prime Minister-designate Ali al-Zaidi, according to a statement from Iran’s presidency. Pezeshkian said Iran had shown full readiness in all negotiations to offer assurances within the framework of international regulations and global monitoring mechanisms. He criticized what he described as contradictory US policies, saying Washington continues to apply pressure while simultaneously calling for negotiations. Iraq's Zaidi in turn said Baghdad is prepared to support de-escalation efforts and could host talks between Iran and the United States, according to the statement. Iraq itself has been deeply impacted by the war, and Iran has even fired ballistic missiles and drones on the north, reportedly targeting US troop installations in or ne...

Warren Buffett got serious about Sirius XM (NASDAQ: SIRI) in his final few quarters as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway . Buffett's iconic conglomerate had been adding to its stake in Sirius XM over the past two years, amassing a stake of better than 37% in the satellite radio monopoly before the generational investor stepped down from the helm.
