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.

    Think tanks are blooming in Africa, as they have been in the USA, Europe and China… Some are already mature, like the Codesria, launched in 1973 in Dakar (Senegal) or the Institute for Security Studies (ISS), first established in 1991 in Pretoria, with regional offices opened in Cape Town, Addis Abeba and Nairobi.  Some are still young and spreading their wings, like AfriHeritage in Nigeria, founded in 2000 or the Groupe de recherche et d’analyse appliquées pour le développement (G ...

    For decades, the North African Maghreb has been both a source of irregular migration to Europe and a gateway for sub-Saharan Africans transiting to Europe. Now the Maghreb is also emerging as a destination for migration. While Europe remains the preferred destination for most African migrants, reaching Europe is becoming increasingly difficult at precisely the time that migration pressures in Africa are mounting. Africa’s massive migration is just getting started—and this presents ...

    Destination-based business cash-flow taxes have received a great deal of attention and are being widely considered as a replacement for traditional, origin-based, corporate taxes. These taxes combine the strong revenue-raising ability of a VAT with an enormously expensive tax deduction for wages. They would certainly be attractive to foreign investors by eliminating the burden of current corporate taxes. However, adopting them at the rates typically discussed would raise consumer pr ...

    This paper reports the results of an application using an interregional input-output matrix for Morocco together with regional information on water consumption by sectors. We develop a trade-based index that reveals the relative water use intensities associated with specific interregional and international trade flows. We estimate, for each flow associated with each origin-destination pair, measures of trade in value added and trade in water that are further used to calculate our in ...

    Since 2011 and the end of the post-election crisis, Côte d’Ivoire has returned to impressive economic growth. The country and its capital are drawing attention from a growing number of investors, and the “Abidjanian middle classes” are widely publicised and sought after. At the same time, Abidjanian consumption spaces have become particularly diversified and transformed. Abidjan provides many options for consumers who are operating in a competitive environment with a wide selection ...

    The recently signed African Continental Free Trade Agreement represents a countercurrent to protectionist tendencies across the Atlantic and the Pacific, and may well move the economic integration of the African continent forward. Translating the vision into action, however, will call upon signatories to undertake deeper domestic reforms and to confront specific challenges related to the agreement itself. This brief explains why the agreement is important for Africa and identifies p ...
