The host city of #Paris is hoping to organise a swimming competition for the 2024 #Olympic Games. But first, a massive clean-up operation has to get underway. Some 360 tonnes of waste are dredged up out of the murky waters every year. Everything from bikes to scooters and old safes can pollute the waters, and these items must all be pulled out and recycled. Our colleagues at France 2 report, with FRANCE 24's Camille Pauvarel.

Digital transformation accelerates existing workforce inequalities. Our data shows that many of the marginalized communities hardest hit by the COVID-19 pandemic, especially women, Black and Hispanic workers, are also those that are most at risk of job disruption from AI and other emerging technologies. In our report, Diversity and the Age of Automation, we've analyzed Census data on the US workforce, including analysis on gender and ethnicity, with a focus on five key industries - food services, healthcare, retail, finance and education. We selected these industries for two key factors: a high number of employees in each industry and the potential risk to those employees of contracting COVID-19, due to the nature of their work.
Faethm’s data tracks the impact of AI and robotic technology on the workforce, and analyzes these impacts based on roles, skill level, gender, ethnicity, and other categories. Our data also uncovers areas of overlap between positions, to demonstrate upskilling and reskilling pathways so all workers are brought into the future. Roles are likely to be transformed by these technologies in one of three ways:

Joe Biden has become the first US president to formally recognise the mass killing of Armenians during the Ottoman Empire as an act of "genocide".
