How Trump’s Iran ‘own goal’ is hitting long-term US strategy to contain Chinese influence

The United States has spent decades trying to blunt China’s strategic rise. Yet in the Middle East, sanctions and the war against Iran are now dismantling one of the few assets built to constrain Beijing’s influence in the region. The Iranian port of Chabahar has received strong backing from India, which hoped it would gain both a trade corridor into Afghanistan and Central Asia that bypassed Pakistan and a strategic counterweight to the Chinese-operated Pakistani port of Gwadar. Both Washington...

America’s North Korea strategy needs a dose of reality

Each year on July 27, North Korea commemorates “Victory Day”, marking what it presents as its triumph in the Korean war. While few outside the country accept that characterisation, the date underscores a reality: the war never formally ended. The 1953 agreement was an armistice that left the peninsula in a state of suspended conflict. Responsibility for the resulting instability is widely distributed. North Korea’s missile tests, expanding nuclear arsenal and escalatory rhetoric have undermined...

Chinese tech firms’ ‘snub’ to US Congress advisers highlights Beijing’s growing AI caution

China’s biggest technology companies gave a US congressional delegation the cold shoulder during a recent visit. Analysts said this decision – which denied the visitors a rare insider’s view of one of the world’s fastest-moving artificial intelligence (AI) ecosystems – reflected Beijing’s increasingly selective approach to AI diplomacy. It also highlights a paradox: while the two powers continue to pursue dialogue on AI safety, many of the channels that once helped them understand each other are...

El MIT ha diseñado un robot que vuela y bucea como un ave marina, pero sin patas: el truco está en el ángulo de despegue

Cuando hablamos de drones pensamos automáticamente en vehículos voladores, pero también existen drones submarinos . Lo que no es tan habitual es que un mismo dron sea capaz de hacer las dos cosas. Es justo lo que acaba de conseguir el MIT : un pequeño robot con alas capaz de volar y sumergirse en el agua , como si fuera una ave marina cuando caza. El robot, el cual han bautizado con el nada sugerente nombre de "vehículo aéreo-acuático de alas batientes" (FAAV, por sus siglas en inglés), ha sido desarrollado por un equipo de ingenieros del MIT y la EPFL y sienta las bases para la creación de…

Popular AI-powered food apps may make calorie counting easier, but they may also leave out a surprisingly large part of the meal.
