Just before Christmas, the House of Lords Liaison Committee published a new report on Artificial Intelligence (AI): “AI in the UK: No Room for Complacency”.

The Select Committee had been appointed “to consider the economic, ethical and social implications of advances in artificial intelligence”, and its 2018 report made a large number of recommendations to the UK government on a range of technical, organisational and societal topics, as well as a recommended ethical framework for AI.
Doing Business in Albania: What Every Employer Needs to Know
As employers increasingly look to expand their global reach, the countries of Central and Eastern Europe continue to provide attractive opportunities for entrepreneurs. Effectively closed to foreign investment and travel for decades, the Republic of Albania has undergone many changes in recent years. Strategically located in central Europe, only 45 miles from Italy and bordered by the Ionian and Adriatic seas, Albania occupies a geographically and culturally important location within Europe. Albania became a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, and formally applied for entry into the European Union in 2009.
