Self-Improving AI Startup Recursive Superintelligence Raises 500 Million Dollars

Google Ventures and Nvidia led a $500 million funding round for Recursive Superintelligence, a four-month-old AI startup valued at $4 billion.

The European Union announced new climate initiatives on April 23, committing to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 65% by 2040 compared to 1990 levels.

This target represents an even more ambitious goal than the EU's current 55% reduction target by 2030. The initiative is part of the EU's broader European Green Deal, aimed at achieving climate neutrality by 2050.

EU officials emphasized that achieving these targets will require significant investments in renewable energy, energy efficiency, and sustainable transportation infrastructure. Member states will need to develop national climate plans to ensure compliance with the new targets.

Environmental groups welcomed the announcement but called for immediate action to accelerate the transition away from fossil fuels. The EU's initiative also aims to create economic opportunities through the development of clean technologies.
