New Technologies can have, and already is having, a profound impact on our society. However, the new technologies can also be used to malicious ends or have unintended negative consequences. In this context, AI techologies embodies this duality perhaps more than any other emerging technology today. Thus, any exploration of the use of AI technologies must always go hand-in-hand with efforts to avoid any form of legal abuse. In this podcast, Abdessalam Jaldi, Senior International Relations Specialist at the PCNS engages in a conversation with Renée Cummings, AI ethicist at The School of Data Science - University of Virginia.

    L’épreuve du Covid-19 bouleverse par son ampleur, alarme par ses répercussions et ses effets de ricochets, dont les contours dévastateurs commencent à se dessiner mais restent encore considérablement incertains. Favorisée par la mondialisation des transports et l’intégration croissante des économies, la propagation fulgurante du virus à plus de 200 pays et territoires à travers le monde dévoile notre vulnérabilité collective et constitue un test sans égal de la résilience des systèm ...

    In Thomas Mann’s novel Death in Venice, the character Gustav von Aschenbach is not alarmed when he arrives with his wife in Venice by boat and encounters health inspectors questioning disembarking passengers. He begins to notice that more and more guests at the hotel he is staying are leaving. The hotel barber mentions something about a disease. Strolling through the city, watching the gondolas ahead of him, von Aschenbach smells the scent of germicide in the air and becomes increas ...

    Dans cette période de catastrophe planétaire, le risque d'un nombre élevé de victimes en raison de la faiblesse des systèmes de santé de nombreux Etats africains, anglophones ou francophones, est plus qu’évident pour l’observateur averti. Les circonstances actuelles interdisent des commentaires évidemment superflus sur les infrastructures médicales, globalement défaillantes. Ces insuffisances sont connues et vécues au quotidien par les populations des diverses régions du continent, ...

    From the moment China reported a new mysterious disease to the WHO, in the last day of 2019, the scientific community started following the situation with increasing concern. However, in many places like the UK, where I live, and Portugal, where I am from, the collective memory of recent public health crises like SARS and Ebola added up to “much ado about nothing” – a massive media frenzy that promised a pandemic but did not deliver one. That is perhaps why it took so long to regist ...

    يلف موضوع الحجر الصحي في المغرب الأقصى خلال العصر الوسيط ضباب كثيف، لا تساعد المصادر على انقشاعه. ومع ذلك يمكن القول إن من أهم القضايا التي كانت تشغل بال مغاربة العصور الوسطى أثناء حدوث الوباء، حقيقة العدوى من عدمها، فكانوا يطرحون السؤال الآتي: هل يخُالَطُ المصاب بالوباء أم لا؟ الموقف النظري من المخالطة بين الرفض والقبول تراوحت المواقف بين نفي العدوى بالوباء وإثباتها، وكان في مقدمة النافين لها أغلب الفقهاء، مستندين على نصوص شرعية تقول بعدم وجودها من وجهة نظر فهمهم لها، وتعتبر الوب ...

    Covid-19 should change global politics. The speed and scale of its transmission, and the severity of its impact is not, we know now, to our cost. As the virus rapidly tracks people vectors worldwide, the control of its impact is inextricably linked to the availability of resources and depth of governance. For these reasons, global leaders should focus on its impact among the most vulnerable, and in particular in Africa. Just three months ago, on 31 December 2019, Chinese authoritie ...

    Il coronavirus promette di cambiare la politica globale. La velocità e la portata del contagio, così come la gravità del suo impatto, non sono fake news, come abbiamo già imparato a nostre spese. Il virus si diffonde rapidamente nel mondo, passando da persona a persona, e il contenimento delle sue conseguenze è indissolubilmente legato alla disponibilità di risorse e al buon funzionamento dei meccanismi di governance. Per queste ragioni, i leader globali dovrebbero porre molta atten ...

    Alors que le coronavirus se propage à travers le monde, la capacité d’atténuer son impact est liée aux ressources disponibles et à l’efficacité des autorités publiques. Voilà pourquoi il nous paraît primordial que les dirigeants internationaux se concentrent sur les conséquences de la pandémie sur les plus vulnérables, en particulier en Afrique. Il y a trois mois, le 31 décembre, les autorités chinoises informaient le bureau de Pékin de l’Organisation mondiale de la santé (OMS) d’u ...
