Can AI design a chip that’s more efficient than human-made ones?Yuichiro Chino/Getty Images Google DeepMind says its artificial intelligence has helped design chips that are already being used in data centres and even smartphones.

Italy was facing an all-out invasion by land and sea under relaxed European Union edicts that permitted open borders. Now, under Meloni, illegal immigration has dropped 64% in the past year.

Mading, South Sudan – On a hot morning in July, Michael Alier grabbed his assault rifle and headed out on a motorcycle taxi, known locally as a boda boda, to the bush in search of food.
