While there is no doubt that artificial intelligence already offers many advantages, a question remains beyond the major cultural and societal impact that will necessarily result from this new technology: does AI represent Is it a threat to employment, since it makes it possible to automate tasks previously carried out by humans? This summer, researchers from the International Labor Organization affirmed, with a supporting report, that it might create more jobs than it destroys, a result going once morest the grain of what we hear from the most of the time. But in Courbevoie, in Hauts-de-Seine, a company has just announced to its employees the elimination of 217 positions, out of the 383 installed in France.

Given the sensitivity of the subject, in the midst of soaring inflation, the Minister of Energy Transition Agnès Pannier-Runacher wanted to reassure this morning. Or at the very least to clarify that the price of regulated electricity tariffs will not increase by more than 10% over the whole of next year. The fact remains that the subject obviously occupies all minds and even more so all wallets.

Often reduced to grim statistics, they nevertheless face the worst dangers in the hope of a better life. The “migrants” as they are called, these uprooted people, first and foremost men, women and children, are increasingly numerous in wanting to find refuge in Europe. Since the start of the year, nearly 120,000 irregular arrivals from North Africa have been recorded on Italian coasts. This is twice as much as last year. At what price ? Over the same period, more than 2,000 people lost their lives while attempting to cross this Mediterranean Sea, which has become a veritable open-air cemetery. The last known victim is a five-month-old baby, who fell into the water last Wednesday.
One name is generally associated with this drama of illegal immigration: Lampedusa. The small island in the south of Italy, the main gateway to Europe, has in recent years become the primary refuge for this human distress. But this week alone it welcomed more than 7,000 people, the equivalent of the local population.
And reactions have already multiplied, including in the French political class, on the right and on the far right.
In Ukraine, because weather conditions will necessarily make maneuvers more difficult in just a few weeks, the countdown to the end of the counteroffensive has begun. In the south of the country, first of all, kyiv’s forces managed to break through the first of three defense lines built by Russian troops. And then on the Eastern front, this time, the army announced this morning that it had recaptured the village of Andriïvka, a few kilometers from the devastated town of Bakhmout. The fact remains that the invader still occupies a third of the country today. This is why in these territories many inhabitants are still trying to escape to reach the free zone.
