Commented on The future of banking
Apple partnership with Goldman Sachs - the two most iconic names in tech and finance are joining together to create what might become America’s mightiest fintech. While the average bank is paying less than a half a percent on savings accounts, Apple announced this year it would be offering 4.15% annual returns to savers – no minimums, no lockups and FDIC-insured. This comes at a time when regional banks are scrambling in the wake of the Silicon Valley Bank crisis to maintain their deposit bases, and cash-starved fintech startups are likewise struggling.

Commented on Green Technologies and Sustainability
According to recent figures, Europe is warming faster than the global average, with annual temperatures increasing between 1.7 and 1.9 degrees Celsius in urban areas. Barcelona is no exception, with 2020 seeing the city's warmest year for over two centuries - registering an average temperature of 16.8 degrees Celsius. In response to this problem, a group of climate change researchers are pioneering a project to paint the city's rooftops white - claiming it could reduce temperatures by up to 4.7 degrees during heatwaves. https://www.euronews.com/green/2023/07/08/painting-barcelona-s-rooftops-could-lower-temperatures-by-up-to-five-degrees-say-experts Any comment?

Commented on Regulation of AI
Psychologist and behavioural scientist Gerd Gigerenzer believes that algorithms are changing our behaviour and our world in ways that we don't fully understand. In his latest book, "How to Stay Smart in a Smart World," he examines how algorithms shape our future and why it is crucial to remember that they are not human. Gigerenzer argued that digital technology can easily tilt the scales toward autocratic systems, making it important for people to pay attention and take control of their decisions. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/ais-influence-decision-making-behavioural-scientist-gerd-gigerenzer/ What is your opinion?

Commented on Medical Advancements
A new AI tool that could help doctors assess the early signs of dementia and Alzheimer's more quickly and efficiently, has been developed by researchers at the University of Sheffield. The system, known as CognoSpeak, uses a virtual agent displayed on a screen to engage a patient in a conversation. It asks memory-probing questions inspired by those used in outpatient consultations and conducts cognitive tests, such as picture descriptions and verbal fluency tests. https://www.news-medical.net/news/20230628/CognoSpeak-AI-tool-uses-speech-technology-to-quickly-assess-dementia-risk.aspx The value of AI tools in healthcare is expected to see growth and further development.

Commented on Science Breakthroughs
Scientists invent self-healing robot skin that mimics the real thing. The material can self-heal in just 24 hours when warmed to 158°F or in about a week at room temperature. https://interestingengineering.com/innovation/scientists-invent-self-healing-robot-skin-that-mimics-the-real-thing Stanford professor Zhenan Bao and his team have invented a multi-layer self-healing synthetic electronic skin that can now self-recognize and align with each other when injured, allowing the skin to continue functioning while healing. The new skin mimics the real thing allowing robots to feel like humans.

Commented on Climate Change & Global Warming
A new study suggests a link between past climate changes and a drop in the size of the human brain. The research by cognitive scientist Jeff Morgan Stibel from the Natural History Museum in California adds to our understanding of how humans develop and adapt in response to environmental stress. https://www.sciencealert.com/new-paper-links-climate-change-to-shrinking-brain-size-in-humans Any opinion?
