The execution deadline of the Recovery and Resilience Plan is about to come to an end. Nearly 22 billion euros have been invested, and the question now arises about what has actually changed in the country.

The PRR Monitoring Committee considers it is still too early to assess the degree of transformation achieved. Pedro Dominguinhos, member of the Committee, states that it is not yet possible to clearly perceive the real impact of the plan.

The article does not detail which specific areas of investment or the concrete results already visible, limiting itself to signaling that the final assessment of the PRR's transformational potential is still pending.

Anthropic wins court battle against Pentagon in California

A US court blocked the Pentagon's decision to classify Anthropic as a risk to the military supply chain, calling the measure "illegal and unfounded". Judge Rita Lin, appointed by Joe Biden, issued a 59-page ruling in favor of the artificial intelligence company, which had refused to allow its models to be used for domestic surveillance or autonomous weapons. The Pentagon, led by Pete Hegseth, made this decision after Anthropic's refusal, which claimed it was retaliation for its positions on AI safety. The company celebrated the decision, stating it remains focused on working with the government, but still faces a second lawsuit in Washington related to a similar classification that could prevent access to civilian government contracts.
