But three weeks later, Google has temporarily paused public access to the text-to-image tool—and publicly apologized—because, uh, it had some diversity problems.

UN chief: We must avoid the mistakes that led to World War I

Winston Churchill once said: "Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it." Those words ring as true today as they did in 1948. Churchill, who served in the First World War before he led Britain through the Second, knew all too well the miscalculations that presidents and prime ministers made leading up to the Great War.

A century later, the UN's top diplomat, Secretary-General António Guterres, fears that world leaders today are making the same mistakes that got us into WWI. In an exclusive interview for GZERO World with Ian Bremmer, Guterres explains what makes him so wary of this moment in geopolitics.

"Golda" looks back at Israel's controversial former PM

It’s hard to imagine today, but for a tense few hours in 1973, it looked like the country of Israel might cease to exist.

And lots of people have spoken their piece about how much they think he's an amazing diplomat, unique, and how much they think he's a war criminal, unique. And maybe not surprising to anyone, I'm a little bit in between those views.

The world's first bank run: the Peruzzis of medieval Italy | GZERO World

Medieval Italy, the Peruzzis & the world's first bank run

Bank runs. Market volatility. Panic in the streets. When I say we’ve been here before, I don’t just mean 2008 or 1929. One of the earliest recorded bank runs dates back to the 14th century. Italian city-states like Florence and Venice sat at the crossroads of trade routes between Asia and Europe and were financial hubs. In the early 1300s, the “Peruzzi” family quickly became one of the most powerful and wealthy in Florence, through a highly profitable textile trade that focused on imported English wool.
