‘We harvested more than half the winter wheat crop before the end of July’ (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom – Tom Pearson looks down at a crack in his own field, wide enough to plunge his fingers into. Beneath the stubble of a freshly combined oat crop on his Manor Farm in Caxton, near Cambridge, the ground has split, the soil having lost so much moisture that it has torn apart. A cover crop planted to shield the ground beneath the oats never really established before the early heat of this growing season arrived. “It makes you wonder if it’s worth it,” Pearson said, loo
What came into force with the EU’s AI Act this week – and what didn’t (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On August 2, the next phase of Europe’s Artificial Intelligence Act came into force as the European Union frames this legislation as the world’s first comprehensive law on AI. Like the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) before it, this new EU legislation is intended not to replace the economic bloc’s existing digital rulebook but to complement it.

The decision, announced by Burnham’s office, does not end the government’s wider digital transformation programme. Instead, it abandons the proposal for a universal government-backed identity credential while ret
From Manchester to Downing Street: What Burnham could mean for Palantir (opens the original)
Read excerpt
London, United Kingdom – Should Andy Burnham enter Downing Street as early as July 17, if he is confirmed unopposed as Labour leader, one of his most consequential early decisions will have nothing to do with defence spending, immigration, or the economy. It will concern a seven-year 330-million-pound ($440m) contract between NHS England and Palantir Technologies, a leading defence and intelligence software firm in the United States that received no contracts from Burnham’s Greater Manchester ad
