Europe Pushes Back Against AI Slowdown | Bermuda News 18.09.2026 2mEuropean AI firms are fiercely pushing back against U.S. calls to slow AI development, calling it a move to preserve market dominance as Europe races to catch up. French AI leader Mistral says the risks were known for months and that proposed regulations favor big players. With Europe still reliant on U.S. models like OpenAI’s, companies like Proton and Black Forest Labs warn that throttling innovation could hurt competitiveness. While U.S. firms suggest voluntary safety standards, critics call it “regulatory capture.” European leaders argue acceleration—not slowdown—is key to achieving digital sovereignty and closing the tech gap with the U.S. and China.

Companies Cut Currency Hedges Sharply | Bermuda News 18.09.2026 1mCompanies in the US and UK are hedging less foreign currency exposure than ever, with hedge ratios dropping to 46% from 57% and average hedge durations shrinking to under six months.

UK firms focus on monetary policy, while US companies still prioritize volatility risk.

Hamilton Adds New Speed Bump for Safety | Bermuda News 18.09.2026 1mHamilton’s installing a new, gentler speed bump on Angle Street this Friday, September 18th, from 10 AM to 1 PM—closing the eastbound lane between Court and Union Streets to slow traffic and boost safety near the Angle Street Church of God.

Bermuda's School Reform Needs Clarity | Bermuda News 18.09.2026 1mBermuda’s education overhaul is stuck in limbo—no firm timeline, just vague promises and another update coming in October. But without clear answers to critical questions—what problem are we solving, what measurable gains can we expect, and when will parents see results?

Fulfilling an election promise shouldn’t be the goal—success must be measured by improved student outcomes. Before another structural shift, Bermuda deserves to know exactly what’s at stake.
