Three takeaways from the EU's State of the Union

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has delivered her annual State of the European Union address in Strasbourg. Here are three key points: 1. The risks of AI – Von der Leyen warned that AI development could move beyond human control. She called for a slower, safer approach, though she offered few concrete proposals for regulation. 2. Social media and children – She proposed banning social media for under-13s, with stricter supervision for teenagers up to 15. Some groups support the idea but argue that authorities should focus on addictive algorithms rather than broad age-based bans. 3. Closer ties with Canada – Von der Leyen proposed opening a path for Canada to become the EU’s first associate member. It comes as Ottawa's ties with Washington worsen. 📺 Subscribe to our YouTube channel and stay updated with our latest analysis and interviews:👇 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgrNz-aDmcr2uuto8_DL2jg 👈 Download our APP on Apple Store (iOS): https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cctvnews-app/id922456579?l=zh&ls=1&mt=8 Download our APP on Google Play (Android): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.imib.cctv For more: https://www.cgtn.com/video Most watched videos: Impossible Challenge: 30 seconds to count banknotes BLINDFOLDED https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmP_Ybj-jws Impossible Challenge: Gymnastics Boy Arat Hosseini from Iran! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sxX--U4c8w Impossible Challenge: How to calm babies in 5 seconds? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kR3q9sXM7WA
