حديث الثلاثاء : الجنوب ومستقبل الدراسات الاستشرافية في زمن الذكاء الاصطناعي

October 24, 2023

لقد ظلت سيناريوهات المستقبل والدراسات المستقبلية لفترة طويلة جدًا، بعيدة عن قائمة القضايا المتعلقة بأفريقيا، والآن أصبح من الواضح أكثر فأكثر أن مستقبل كوكبنا يتم صناعته في أفريقيا  بشكل متزايد، سواء كان المرء يتعامل مع إشكاليات الأزمات البيئية وتغير المناخ واللاجئين والطاقة المتجددة وما إلى ذلك، وهو ما يعني أن أفريقيا عادت لتحتل مكانة بارزة في جدول الأعمال الدولي. في حلقة هذا الأسبوع من برنامج حديث الثلاثاء، سنناقش أهمية دراسات المستقبل والتوقعات في سياق القضايا العالمية وتأثيرها على دول الجنوب. سنتناول موضوع الاهتمام بالدراسات الاستشرافية في زمن الذكاء الاصطناعي وكيف يمكن أن تساهم في فهم تحديات المنطقة واحتياجاتها المستقبلية. سنحاول كذلك فهم تأثير التكنولوجيا والخوارزميات على المجتمع والسياسات العامة، وسنناقش كيف يمكن تقليل الفوارق في التعاطي مع الإشكاليات العالمية بين دول الجنوب والشمال.

    It was a grey day with a drizzle here and a drizzle there when mourners gathered at St George’s Cathedral in a usually sunny Capetown to pay their last respect to the Arch Bishop Desmond Tutu, the moral force against Apartheid struggle in South Africa was subdued and thoughtful as human beings when death and a rendezvous with eternity have been called. South Africa’s president Cyril Ramaphosa led his nation and the world in remembering Tutu. He described him as “our moral compass a ...

    The contrast between Argentina’s rich natural resource endowment and its poor economic performance has been the focus of much socio-political and economic analysis. When it created MERCOSUR with its immediate neighbors, Brazil, Uruguay, and Paraguay in 1991, it had access to a trading bloc with a combined GDP of US$ 419 trillion (2019), making it the 5th largest economy in the world. Joining the MERCOSUR was a break from its protectionist past. But it did not last. Argentina greatl ...

    The COVID-19 pandemic has had a huge impact on the global economy and has challenged the best minds to rethink how to design and implement an effective recovery. Countries in the wider Atlantic region have exhibited differential trajectories in traversing the pandemic. A number of countries in Europe succeeded in vaccinating most of their eligible populations, enabling life to return somewhat to normal. A smaller group of countries in Europe could manage infection rates even more ti ...

    Due to historical as well as geographical reasons, India and East Africa have long been close partners. In the recent period however, and even more so since the early 2000s, these ties have tightened as a result of combined efforts by the government of India and its business community. The presence of communities of Indian origin in several East African countries has also acted as a catalyst. East Africa is perceived as a valuable partner both by Indian authorities and by Indian pr ...

    More than two years ago I wrote in a report: “The current downward security trends in Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso should serve as a wake-up call for the states in the Gulf of Guinea, mainly Ivory Coast, Ghana, Togo, and Benin.” Recent attacks in the northern Ivory Coast and Benin show that signs of earlier years now have taken on unique characteristics. Signs of the expansion of violent extremist organizations (VEOs) to coastal states have been there since at least since 2015. The ...

    La situation sécuritaire dans le Sahel central est à ce point dégradée que la menace djihadiste déborde désormais sur la partie nord des pays côtiers d’Afrique de l’Ouest. Les régions de l’Est et des Cascades au Burkina Faso ou celles de Sikasso et de Kayes au Mali constituent des bases arrière permettant aux groupes djihadistes – et principalement à la Jama’at Nasr al-Islam wal Muslimin (JNIM) pour l’instant – de s’étendre au Bénin, en Côte d’Ivoire, et dans une moindre mesure au T ...

    Dans un contexte de gouvernance complexe, où autorités traditionnelles et modernes se côtoient même si leur pouvoir décroît, le Mali connait depuis de nombreuses années une situation sécuritaire alarmante, notamment dans le centre du pays. La montée des tensions entre communautés agricoles et pastorales est aggravée par la présence de groupes extrémistes. La population du Cercle de Niono, dans la région de Ségou, a été victime de violences inouïes pendant plusieurs mois avant que de ...
