This week's top stories of the week include:
0:15 5 ways AI has advanced healthcare – AI is improving surgery in a number of ways. From building ideal surgical plans for patients to guiding surgeons through tricky procedures.Globally, 4.5 billion people lack access to essential healthcare services. AI could help bridge that gap. Yet healthcare is ‘below average’ in its adoption of AI compared to other industries.
4:42 Start-up empowers millions of farmers – Farmerline is revolutionizing agriculture in Africa with its AI-driven interactive voice response tool, Darli AI. Available in 27 languages, including 20 African languages, Darli serves as a 911 for farmers—providing critical farming insights in a language they understand. Research shows that farmers are 60% more likely to adopt new techniques when information is delivered in their native language.
7:56 Workplace traditions we should rethink – Adam Grant is an organizational psychologist and professor at Wharton. Traditional hierarchies can stifle innovation, he says. One ‘no’ from on high can be all it takes to kill an idea. So, instead of a ladder with just one route upwards, what about a corporate lattice?
10:58 Why businesses need geopolitical muscle – Nikolaus Lang is Chair of the BCG Center for Geopolitics. As the world becomes more multipolar, with power centres outside the West in China, Russia, and increasingly the Global South, shifting trade flows are breaking down old alliances, and economic nationalism is on the rise. In this environment, businesses can put on ‘geopolitical muscle’ by focusing on 2 key elements.

President Donald Trump threatened to impose a massive tariff on European alcohol in response to the European Union’s retaliation against his steel and aluminum tariffs – a tit-for-tat escalation of a trade war that could easily get out of hand. In a post on Truth Social, Trump said his administration would impose a 200% tariff on alcoholic beverages from the EU unless it rescinds the 50% tariff the European government imposed on US whiskey. #CNN #News
Published: 13th Mar 2025 02:09:35 By: CNNBusiness Video: Trump imposes sweeping 25% steel and aluminum tariffs. Europe immediately retaliates
President Donald Trump imposed sweeping 25% tariffs on all steel and aluminum imported into the United States Wednesday, a policy aimed at leveling the playing field for US manufacturing but a move that threatens to drive up prices on a broad range of consumer and industrial goods for Americans. It’s the latest salvo in Trump’s multifaceted tariff plan aimed at correcting perceived trade imbalances and reigniting domestic industry. But it risks igniting a global trade war. The European Union, hit for the first time by higher US tariffs since Trump returned to the White House, retaliated within hours with countermeasures on US goods exports. #CNN #News
