European Union ministers have voted to pursue the Galileo satellite navigation system, approving a design framework and funding after a five-year delay, reports the Financial Times. A European Commission official told the newspaper that Galileo would give Europe “strategic independence,” providing a system “that nobody can deny us and will always work.” US officials have indicated a willingness to share signals and develop compatibility with America’s GPS satellites.
Lawmakers want to expand oversight of artificial-intelligence enabled automated systems to include those the Pentagon uses in planning operations, developing targets or that might recommend what to strike.
