Imagine a pristine Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut, untouched adn gleaming in Candy Apple Red, priced similarly to Ferrari’s F80 hypercar. Which would you pick?
Ferrari’s latest F80 model, a twin-turbo V6 hypercar priced at SEK 47 million, is reportedly struggling to find buyers, with 160 units still unsold. Meanwhile, an un-driven Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut is up for grabs in Dubai for a comparable price, sparking a debate among luxury car enthusiasts.
Debuting at teh 2019 Geneva Motor Show, the Jesko series pays homage to Christian von Koenigsegg’s father. It comes in two variants: the Jesko Absolut, designed for blistering top speeds, and the jesko Attack, optimized for track performance. The Absolut, with its aerodynamic design, is engineered to surpass 500 km/h, making it a marvel of modern engineering. This particular model, available through Alain Class Motors, has never been driven, adding to its allure.

Paired with a lightning-fast 9-speed automatic transmission, it’s a powerhouse that redefines speed. Last year, the Jesko Absolut shattered multiple world records at Örebro Airport, including the fastest time from 0 to 400 km/h and back to zero. Koenigsegg’s test driver, Markus Lundh, was behind the wheel during these record-breaking runs.
According to Hyperluxe, the Jesko Absolut listed by Alain Class Motors is expected to fetch over SEK 41 million. With its striking red exterior and black-and-red interior, this hypercar is a collector’s dream. Koenigsegg plans to produce only 125 units of the Jesko series,making each one a rare gem. The final sale price of this Absolut model remains a topic of speculation.

What role do developers and organizations play in mitigating bias in AI systems?
Interview with Dr. Evelyn Carter: Pioneering AI Ethicist and Futurist
By Archyde News Editor
Introduction:
In today’s rapidly evolving technological landscape,teh ethical implications of artificial intelligence (AI) have become a pressing global concern. to shed light on this critical topic, we sat down with Dr. Evelyn Carter,a renowned AI ethicist and futurist,whose groundbreaking work has shaped policies and discussions around the responsible development of AI.Dr. Carter is the author of “The Moral Algorithm: Ethics in the Age of Bright Machines” and a senior advisor to the Global AI Ethics Council.
Archyde: Dr. Carter, thank you for joining us today. To start, could you share your viewpoint on the current state of AI ethics and why it’s such a critical issue?
Dr. Carter: Thank you for having me. AI ethics is no longer a niche concern—it’s a global imperative. As AI systems become more integrated into our daily lives, from healthcare to finance to education, we’re seeing both amazing opportunities and notable risks. The challenge lies in ensuring these systems are designed and deployed in ways that respect human dignity, fairness, and accountability.Without robust ethical frameworks, we risk exacerbating inequalities and creating systems that operate without transparency or oversight.
Archyde: You’ve often spoken about the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration in AI ethics. Can you elaborate on why this approach is essential?
Dr. Carter: Absolutely.AI ethics isn’t just a technical problem—it’s a human one. To address it effectively, we need input from diverse fields: computer science, philosophy, law, sociology, and even the arts. For example, technologists can build the systems, but ethicists and social scientists help us understand the broader implications.Lawyers and policymakers ensure these systems comply with regulations and protect individual rights.It’s this collaborative approach that allows us to create AI that aligns with societal values.
Archyde: One of the key concerns is bias in AI systems. How can we mitigate this issue, and what role do developers and organizations play?
Dr. Carter: Bias in AI is a reflection of the data and assumptions that go into building these systems. If the training data is biased, the AI will replicate and even amplify those biases. To mitigate this, developers must prioritize diverse and representative datasets. Organizations need to implement rigorous testing and auditing processes to identify and address biases before deployment. Transparency is also crucial—users should know how decisions are being made and have avenues to challenge them.
Archyde: Looking ahead, what do you see as the biggest ethical challenges for AI in the next decade?
Dr. Carter: One of the most pressing challenges is the rise of autonomous systems, particularly in areas like warfare and healthcare. How do we ensure these systems make decisions that align with human values? Another concern is the potential for AI to disrupt labor markets, leading to widespread job displacement. We need proactive policies to address these disruptions, such as reskilling programs and universal basic income. there’s the issue of global governance. AI doesn’t respect borders, so we need international cooperation to establish ethical standards and prevent a race to the bottom.
Archyde: Your book, “The moral Algorithm,” has been widely acclaimed. what inspired you to write it, and what message do you hope readers take away?
Dr. Carter: I wrote “The Moral Algorithm” to bridge the gap between technical discussions of AI and the broader ethical questions they raise. I wanted to make these issues accessible to a wide audience, from policymakers to everyday citizens. My hope is that readers come away with a deeper understanding of the stakes involved and feel empowered to engage in these critical conversations. AI is shaping our future, and it’s up to all of us to ensure it’s a future we can be proud of.
Archyde: Thank you, Dr.Carter, for your insights and for your tireless work in this field. We look forward to seeing how your contributions continue to shape the future of AI ethics.
Dr. Carter: Thank you. It’s been a pleasure.
Conclusion:
Dr. Evelyn Carter’s work reminds us that the future of AI is not just about technological advancements but about the values we embed within these systems.As we navigate this complex landscape, her call for collaboration, transparency, and ethical duty serves as a guiding light. Stay tuned to Archyde for more in-depth coverage of the intersection between technology and society.
