Norway Wealth Fund CEO: No room for AI holdouts
Nicolai Tangen, CEO of Norway's sovereign wealth fund, said employees who resist using artificial intelligence (AI) have no future at the $1.7 trillion fund, underscoring the growing role of AI in asset management.
In an interview cited by Bloomberg, Tangen said he's been pushing hard since 2022 to get the fund's roughly 670 employees to embrace AI tools.
He said the use of AI is no longer optional, warning that employees who fail to embrace the technology will never be promoted and may not even be hired in the first place.
AI has quickly become a critical tool for asset managers seeking to boost efficiency, cut costs and gain a competitive edge in decision-making. Investment firms around the world are racing to integrate the technology more deeply into their operations.

Apple Challenges ‘Unreasonable' EU Order to Open Up to Rivals
Apple has submitted a legal challenge to an EU order to open up its closed ecosystem to rivals such as Meta and Alphabet's Google, saying the demands are unreasonable and hamper innovation. The European Commission had in March detailed how Apple must comply with the Digital Markets Act, which aims to rein in the power of Big Tech. Apple said the EU's interoperability requirements create "a process that is unreasonable, costly, and stifles innovation". "These requirements will also hand data-hungry companies sensitive information, which poses massive privacy and security risks to our EU users," it said in a statement. "These deeply flawed rules that only target Apple and no other company will severely limit our ability to deliver innovative products and features to Europe, leading to an inferior user experience for our European customers." Meta, Google, Spotify and Garmin are among companies that have requested access to Apple users' data. The legal fight will likely take years to play out in court. Until then, Apple will have to comply with the EU order. The Commission ordered Apple to give rival makers of smartphones, headphones and virtual reality headsets access to its technology and mobile operating system so they can connect with Apple's iPhones and iPad tablets. It also set out a detailed process and timeline for Apple to respond to interoperability requests from app developers.

Starmer's grown-up approach may lift some negativity
Nine years ago this month, the UK narrowly voted to jettison its membership of the EU. Depending on your point of view, this was either the greatest act of self-harm perpetrated by a modern nation state or a long-overdue reclamation of a great nation's sovereignty and independence. The political, economic and social fault lines that erupted were deep and painful, often akin to a hellish psychodrama. Four years of negotiation, much of it between factions within the British Conservative Party, were required to set the terms of this divorce. As with many divorces, it was costly and bitter. It may not have been a happy marriage, with plenty of febrile squabbles, but separation was tough to take. Now, five years after the exit deal came into effect, emotions have cooled and a more sober examination of the relationship has led to a reevaluation, not least with a more Europhile Labour Party in power. A second marriage is not on the cards, but a more civilized working relationship has been sought. All the arguments of old seem stale and irrelevant. Many Brexiteers have also had buyers' remorse. Hence, a recent poll found that 62 percent of Britons see Brexit as more of a failure than a success, while 56 percent believe it was wrong to leave the EU. Five years after Brexit, emotions have cooled and a more sober examination of the relationship has led to a reevaluation Chris Doyle This is the backdrop to the new deal signed in the middle of May. It realigned the UK-EU relationship, away from what many saw as a hard Brexit to something a little softer and closer. The electorate is broadly content to adhere to some EU rules and regulations if it means a closer economic relationship and easier access to the bloc's market. The security aspect of the deal was a no-brainer. The UK brings military capabilities the EU greatly needs and, with the threat of Russia ever-present, it makes sense for all parties. The isolationist position of the Trump administration and the increasing appeal of this approach in the US has only served to energize a desire for a more assertive European defense posture. There will be meetings every six months to discuss foreign and defense matters, which should return a degree of cooperation to such issues. At the security level, the two sides will share DNA samples and fingerprints, a move that is hard to object to. Few nowadays dissent from the view that Brexit has been costly for the UK economically. The increased red tape and bureaucracy to export to the EU has been a massive burden for businesses. Many stopped bothering trying to export. This agreement envisages a reduction on checks on food exports to the EU, with most routine checks being dropped. The UK will now be able to sell raw burgers and sausages into the bloc for the first time since Brexit. The Starmer government claims this will benefit the UK economy by as much as £9 billion ($12 billion) a year by 2040. Many will also welcome the arrangement to permit British holidaymakers to once again use e-gates at more European airports. This will probably not happen until the autumn. A more politically challenging aspect is the youth experience scheme, which will permit young people to travel and work more freely between the UK and EU. The far right portrays this as a betrayal of the need to crack down on immigration. Critics also point out that the new agreement does nothing to stem the small boats crisis, as more than 36,000 migrants made their way across the English Channel in 2024. Immigration is a hot button issue and a challenge that Prime Minister Keir Starmer, like his predecessors, is struggling to address. As much as farmers will be happy, fishermen may not be, as the fisheries part was the most controversial component. European fishing boats will receive another 12 years of access to British waters in exchange for easing some trade frictions. This agreement augurs a more mature relationship that is focused less on separation and more on maximizing the partnership Chris Doyle The Brexit divide will not disappear, but this agreement augurs a more mature relationship that is focused less on separation and more on cooperation and maximizing the UK-EU partnership. Idealistic Brexiteers have been too determined to oppose the EU no matter what and they may have overestimated the public's appetite for rehashing the same old tired debates of the past. Devout Europhiles, found mainly among the ranks of the Liberal Democrats, will dream of a full remarriage. This cannot be ruled out, but few would argue it is imminent. Starmer, despite being pro-European, knows he does not have the mandate and has yet to show the sort of boldness required to make such a dramatic move. A slow rebalancing of this crucial relationship could be an effective reset. The detail is all still being worked on, but it signifies a more grown-up approach free from the ideological shortsightedness of previous debates. It has pragmatism written all over it. For the Starmer government, this is welcome news, coming as it does in the wake of a free trade deal with India and an agreement on tariffs with the US. Starmer has had a tough first year, but he will hope these international deals will reverse some of the negativity toward his administration.

China Blasts US for Its Computer Chip Moves and for Threatening Student Visas
China blasted the US on Monday over moves it alleged harmed Chinese interests, including issuing AI chip export control guidelines, stopping the sale of chip design software to China, and planning to revoke Chinese student visas. 'These practices seriously violate the consensus' reached during trade discussions in Geneva last month, the Commerce Ministry said in a statement. That referred to a China-US joint statement in which the United States and China agreed to slash their massive recent tariffs, restarting stalled trade between the world's two biggest economies. But last month's de-escalation in President Donald Trump's trade wars did nothing to resolve underlying differences between Beijing and Washington and Monday's statement showed how easily such agreements can lead to further turbulence. The deal lasts 90 days, creating time for US and Chinese negotiators to reach a more substantive agreement. But the pause also leaves tariffs higher than before Trump started ramping them up last month. And businesses and investors must contend with uncertainty about whether the truce will last. US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said the US agreed to drop the 145% tax Trump imposed last month to 30%. China agreed to lower its tariff rate on US goods to 10% from 125%. The Commerce Ministry said China held up its end of the deal, canceling or suspending tariffs and non-tariff measures taken against the US 'reciprocal tariffs' following the agreement. 'The United States has unilaterally provoked new economic and trade frictions, exacerbating the uncertainty and instability of bilateral economic and trade relations,' while China has stood by its commitments, the statement said. It also threatened unspecified retaliation, saying China will 'continue to take resolute and forceful measures to safeguard its legitimate rights and interests.' And in response to recent comments by Trump, it said of the US: 'Instead of reflecting on itself, it has turned the tables and unreasonably accused China of violating the consensus, which is seriously contrary to the facts.' Trump stirred further controversy Friday, saying he will no longer be nice with China on trade, declaring in a social media post that the country had broken an agreement with the United States. Hours later, Trump said in the Oval Office that he will speak with Chinese President Xi Jinping and 'hopefully we'll work that out,' while still insisting China had violated the agreement. 'The bad news is that China, perhaps not surprisingly to some, HAS TOTALLY VIOLATED ITS AGREEMENT WITH US,' Trump posted. 'So much for being Mr. NICE GUY!' The Trump administration also stepped up the clash with China in other ways last week, announcing that it would start revoking visas for Chinese students studying in the US. US campuses host more than 275,000 students from China. Both countries are in a race to develop advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, with Washington seeking to curb China's access to the most advanced computer chips. China is also seeking to displace the US as the leading power in the Asia-Pacific, including through gaining control over close US partner and leading tech giant Taiwan.
