The new report also underscores how interconnected the short-term risks are. The pandemic exacerbated and exposed economic and racial inequities, for example. “In 2020, the long-standing risk of a global pandemic became a reality. COVID-19 has reminded stakeholders how global risks have cascading effects and seldom manifest in an isolated manner,” Franco says. “As 2021 begins to take shape, it is essential that leaders not only address the immediate health and economic consequences of the pandemic, but also tackle the widening inequality and societal fragmentation that COVID-19 has accelerated. ” … [Read more...] about Climate change, the digital divide, infectious disease, and unemployment are the top global risks

I felt pain for the millions of people who would be affected coupled with an obligation to do something about it. I felt like Timothy Geithner’s character in Too Big to Fail. I was watching the world in slow motion knowing that the economy was going to crater in a matter of weeks and how miserable the fallout would be, especially for women and female founders. … [Read more...] about Female-founded companies will save our economy.

This AI can explain how it solves Rubik’s Cube—and that’s a big deal
Currently, our algorithm is able to consider a human plan for solving the Rubik’s Cube, suggest improvements to the plan, recognize plans that do not work, and find alternatives that do. In doing so, it gives feedback that leads to a step-by-step plan for solving the Rubik’s Cube that a person can understand. Our team’s next step is to build an intuitive interface that will allow our algorithm to teach people how to solve the Rubik’s Cube. Our hope is to generalize this approach to a wide range of pathfinding problems. … [Read more...] about This AI can explain how it solves Rubik’s Cube—and that’s a big deal
