The secretive committee wiring Europe’s finances: An unlikely duo exits the stage

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:22:07 GMT

It’s a tale of intrigue, improbable friendship and backroom deal-making that gets to the heart of where political power in the EU really lies.And it concerns one of the bloc’s most secretive — yet influential — bodies, and two of its leading members who have just been booted off it.You’ve probably not heard of the body, and you’ve almost certainly never heard of the pair of officials, yet a clearer example of power-behind-the-throne you’re unlikely to find. Backstage, the strings they pulled helped steer the bloc through choppy economic waters.The twin departures of the Italian and German senior treasury officials, Alessandro Rivera and Carsten Pillath, leave a gap at the center of EU decision-making at a time when governments are battling record inflation, facing a potential banking crisis, and bickering over how to change EU spending rules.Rivera and Pillath sat on the Economic and Financial Committee, and its smaller eurozone-only cousin, the Eurogroup Working Group.

Regulating the machine: Europe’s race to get to grips with AI drugs

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:22:07 GMT

How do you regulate a drug developed by artificial intelligence? That’s the question Europe’s regulators are grappling with as AI medicines speed toward market. At the heart of a regulator’s job is the responsibility to ensure that the benefits of a new medicine outweigh the inevitable risks. But, with AI starting to remake how drugs are developed, they could soon have some very different-looking submissions on their desks. Pharma companies could use algorithms at all stages of the drug-development process: to identify which molecules could best target a specific disease; to select patients for clinical trials based on how they’re expected to respond to a drug; and to extract trial data and complete forms for regulators. AI’s predictive powers could even eliminate the need to test drugs on animals.All this poses a regulatory challenge, raising questions about the transparency of the algorithms, the risk of AI failure and most importantly, the impact...

‘Paint’ dabs at comedy as portrait of quirky TV artist

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:22:07 GMT

MOVIE REVIEW“Paint”Rated PG-13. At Landmark Kendall Square, AMC Boston Common and suburban theaters.Grade: B-A past-present temporal mashup, “Paint” from first-time feature writer-director Brit McAdams is set in a world that has stood still, or at least been slow to catch up to our present day. The film, which is set in Vermont and is said to be a send-up of pioneering TV artist Bob Ross, is a deadpan, perhaps too deadpan and not-very-funny comedy that paints a portrait (excuse me, it’s contagious) of Carl Nargle (Owen Wilson), a bearded, ‘fro-sporting, pipe-smoking star of the local Burlington, Vermont PBS station. Carl’s show is entitled “Paint,” and on it he, OK, paints pictures, all of them of Vermont’s Mount Mansfield, the highest peak in the state.Carl is a superstar to legions of oldsters and barflies enraptured by his every word (and picture). This includes his coworkers, who are mostly women, as well as the station manager Tony (Stephen Root), who ca...
