Margarita Simonyan sat down for a lengthy interview with Professor Zhang Weiwei, who hosts ‘China Now’ on Shanghai’s Dragon TV China has an important role to play in ensuring that artificial intelligence serves humanity rather than replacing it, RT Editor-in-Chief Margarita Simonyan has said. She made the remarks during a lengthy interview with Zhang Weiwei, a professor of international relations at Fudan University who hosts ‘China Now’ on Shanghai’s Dragon TV, which aired on Wednesday. RT’s editor-in-chief expressed concern that rapidly developing artificial intelligence “is already changing people, and I fear that it will change and then replace humanity” at some point in the future. “But I still have hope that a country as sensible as we are [Russia], yet far more advanced in terms of technological sovereignty than we are, a high-tech country like China... mi...

The country’s political opposition has warned that the government’s program is “unsafe” and will only encourage human traffickers Around 900,000 illegal migrants have applied to regularize their status in Spain as part of an amnesty, almost doubling the expected number of requests, the country’s Migration Ministry has said. Before the program’s April launch, Spanish authorities expected around half a million people to apply, but non-profit refugee organization CEAR said on Monday that that number would exceed 1 million by the time the amnesty ends in two weeks. The leader of the opposition People’s Party (PP), Alberto Nunez Feijoo, earlier this year called the initiative “unfair, unsafe, and unsustainable,” warning that it only “encourages organized crime” by human traffickers who smuggle people into the country. The PP said separately that giving documents to fo...

Accession terms will “bite hard” if new states defy Brussels, the bloc’s enlargement chief has warned Countries seeking to join the EU could face major limits on their ability to dissent against Brussels’ decisions after accession, Enlargement Commissioner Marta Kos has warned. The EU is looking to speed up the admission of new states amid concerns that growing economic problems and global political shifts could reduce the bloc to irrelevance. However, the push has been complicated by fears that enlargement could harm the interests of existing members and alter the balance of power inside an organization already known for sluggish bureaucracy and political infighting. Speaking to reporters ahead of a foreign policy meeting in Luxembourg on Monday, Kos said the EU will negotiate “a new generation of accession treaties” designed to ensure that newly admitted members remain “onboard...

The family of a Brazilian patient says doctors were overruled by a state-run bed-allocation system The family of a Brazilian woman who died after waiting several days for an intensive-care bed has blamed a new AI-powered state system for downgrading the severity of her condition and delaying her transfer. Rebeca Cardoso Tenente Molina, a 32-year-old psychologist from Minas Gerais, sought treatment earlier this month for what was believed to be gallstones. Her condition quickly deteriorated, and doctors soon concluded she needed urgent transfer to an intensive-care unit. However, the new state-run Core-MG bed-regulation platform reportedly failed to treat her case as critical enough, despite Molina’s relatives going to court to try to force a faster transfer. A bed was found only about five days later, around 300 km away. Molina was flown there by private plane but died hours later. Her death certifi...

Jordan Bardella, the frontrunner in polls for France’s 2027 presidential race, says Europe can no longer rely on Washington unreservedly Jordan Bardella, the leader of France’s largest opposition party, the National Rally (RN), has ruled out seeking an endorsement from US President Donald Trump for the 2027 presidential election, describing him as unpredictable and increasingly hard to read. The 30-year-old Euroskeptic and anti-immigration politician is widely seen as the favorite to replace Marine Le Pen if she is barred from running. The longtime RN leader was convicted last year of misusing EU funds and banned from holding public office for five years. She denies wrongdoing, and a court is due to rule on her appeal in July. In an interview  with Politico released on Monday, Bardella described Trump’s behavior as “not only erratic but also extremely unsteady and constantly shiftin...
