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.

    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 ...

    Le monde : ‘’Une société de crise’’ La multiplication de catastrophes naturelles et la montée de leur probabilité d’occurrence, la répétition des crises de tous genres (économiques, politiques, sociales et sécuritaires) et l’interdépendance accrue, du fait de la mondialisation, ont mis au premier plan le facteur de la résilience[1]. En effet, il ne s’agit plus d’évaluer le risque ou de l’anticiper, tellement sa probabilité d’occurrence s’est accrue, mais surtout de limiter les dégâ ...

    While the world has been facing one of the most serious health crises of the century in recent months, Africa seems to have been spared so far. The African countries have announced only very few cases, about ten for some and none for others. However, as time goes by, Africa is facing an increasing number of cases, first exported from Europe and America and then resulting in local contamination. This is not the only health crisis Africa has faced in recent years. The Ebola health cri ...

    Depuis l'entrée en vigueur de l'Accord de libre-échange (ALE) entre le Maroc et l'Union européenne (UE), il y a près de deux décennies, les performances des exportations marocaines vers les marchés de l'UE ont été plutôt décevantes, tandis que le déficit commercial du Maroc avec l'UE a augmenté de manière significative. Cela a conduit de nombreux observateurs à percevoir l'accord d'un oeil critique. Cependant, les balances commerciales bilatérales ne sont pas toujours suffisantes po ...

    Using a Structural vector auto-regression analysis, this paper attempts to answer the question of the feasibility of a currency union in the Economic community of West African states (ECOWAS). The study focuses on a particular criterion of the theory of optimum currency area (OCA) i.e. the similarity of business cycles. The main results suggest important discrepancies between countries that are already within the WAEMU (CFA Franc) arrangement and countries that have their own arrang ...
