Artificial intelligence is transforming the world at remarkable speed. It promises breakthroughs in medicine, scientific discovery, education and business productivity that were unimaginable only a few years ago. Used wisely, it has the potential to improve countless lives. Every technological revolution, however, raises a deeper question. Progress is measured not only by what we are able to build, but by whether what we build enables people and communities to flourish. Artif

As scientists warn that a potential ‘super’ El Niño could be among the strongest on record, governments and communities around the world are preparing for the disruption it may bring. Extreme weather, crop failures, supply chain pressures and rising food prices are all possible consequences.
