After many years during which it languished in relative obscurity, in remote classrooms of computer science departments and in small prototype projects for tech companies, artificial intelligence (AI) is now a searingly hot topic across the media. Yet much of the public discussion is so feverish that an understanding of the basic scientific and engineering elements of the field is easily lost, often resulting in exaggerated claims, as well as dangerously neglected threats.

Chi parla, soprattutto se da posizioni di autorità o in contesti istituzionali, ha una pesante responsabilità: ciò che diciamo cambia i limiti di ciò che può essere detto, sposta un po' più in là i confini di ciò che viene considerato normale, assodato, legittimo. E cambiare i limiti di ciò che può essere detto cambia allo stesso tempo i limiti di ciò che può essere fatto.

Personaggio cruciale e misterioso al contempo, uomo di intelligenza, forza e volontà fuori dal comune, Saulo di Tarso, meglio conosciuto come Paolo, fu colui che raccolse l'irripetibile magistero di Gesù di Nazareth e lo canonizzò, forgiando il Cristianesimo per come lo conosciamo oggi. Fine mediatore da un lato, ma decisionista politico dall'altro, Paolo seppe traghettare un'esperienza spirituale in un'istituzione storica giunta più o meno immutata fino ai nostri giorni, assurgendo così a figura fondamentale di tutto il mondo cristiano.

We have always been told that work defines us, and serves as the foundation of our dignity as human beings. So why, all over the world, are more and more people quitting their jobs? In recent years, we have had several opportunities to ask ourselves whether the life we are living is the one we truly desire. For many, the answer has been no. This is due to a growing unwillingness to submit to the toxic and vexatious rules imposed by many work contexts. Even prior to the pandemic, a survey conducted in 140 countries revealed that 80 percent of the employed population disliked their jobs.

Sociologist Ruth Glass coined the term gentrification in the 1960s to mark the displacement of working-class residents in London neighborhoods by the professional classes.

The Real ROI: In today's AI world, shaped by remote work's rise post-pandemic, reassessing our DEI strategy is crucial. We must go beyond token gestures to tackle systemic barriers, eradicate unconscious biases, and ensure equitable opportunities. As workplace dynamics change, building a culture based on trust and understanding is essential. Without trust, even well-meaning DEI efforts fail. Embracing diverse perspectives and addressing the unique challenges of all workforce segments can create an inclusive culture that fosters innovation.

Many people take it for granted: Evangelicals are Republican, Democrats aren't religious, and moderate Christians may as well not exist. But it wasn't always this way.

Data scientist Ryan Burge demystifies the recent polarization of American pews, helping listeners understand why the religious landscape has changed so much in the last fifty years and how this divide impacts every aspect of society.
