Indonesia
Manggi Habir (East Asia Forum) scrive della decisione di Tesla di impiantare stabilimenti di produzione di auto elettriche in Malesia. Ciò che preoccupa è la tendenza dei principali produttori di veicoli elettrici a passare dall’uso del nichel a una combinazione minerale di litio-ferro-fosfato come fonte di batterie per veicoli elettrici. Tale conversione potrebbe avere un impatto devastante sugli ambiziosi piani di downstreaming del nichel dell’Indonesia
Manggi Habir (East Asia Forum) writes about Tesla’s decision to set up electric car production plants in Malaysia. What is worrying is the trend of major electric vehicle manufacturers to switch from using nickel to a lithium-iron-phosphate mineral combination as a source of electric vehicle batteries. This conversion could have a devastating impact on Indonesia’s ambitious nickel downstreaming plans

Poland
Daniel Fried (Atlantic Council) riflette sulle elezioni polacche e su come esse influenzeranno il futuro del Paese. Varsavia potrebbe essersi avvicinata a Bruxelles. Secondo gli exit poll pubblicati domenica, i partiti centristi e progressisti dell’opposizione, guidati dal partito Piattaforma Civica, sembrano aver guadagnato abbastanza seggi per formare una coalizione e spodestare il partito nazionalista di destra Diritto e Giustizia, che guida il Paese dal 2015
Daniel Fried (Atlantic Council) reflects on the Polish elections and how they will influence the future of the country. Warsaw may have moved closer to Brussels. According to exit polls published on Sunday, the centrist and progressive opposition parties, led by the Civic Platform party, appear to have gained enough seats to form a coalition and oust the right-wing nationalist Law and Justice party, which has led the country since 2015

Climate Action & Impact
Clare Francis (Lowy The Interpreter) scrive a proposito del nuovo movimento a sostegno della leadership climatica delle donne indigene, lanciato il mese scorso. Tale iniziativa si concentra sul legame tra la crisi climatica e i diritti umani, in particolare i diritti delle donne, delle popolazioni indigene e di altre comunità emarginate
Clare Francis (Lowy The Interpreter) writes about the new movement in support of indigenous women’s climate leadership, launched last month. This initiative focuses on the link between the climate crisis and human rights, particularly the rights of women, indigenous peoples and other marginalised communities

Gender
Rutendo Chabikwa e Nancy Salem (Oxford Internet Institute) hanno proposto l’adozione di una prospettiva femminista nella governance tecnologica.

Technology
Kyle Miller e Andrew Lohn (CSET) scrive delle tecniche per produrre modelli linguistici più piccoli ed efficienti che richiedono meno risorse per essere sviluppati e gestiti. La combinazione di piccole dimensioni (cioè facili da usare) e apertura (cioè facile accesso) potrebbe avere implicazioni significative per lo sviluppo dell’intelligenza artificiale
Kyle Miller and Andrew Lohn (CSET) write about techniques to produce smaller, more efficient language models that require fewer resources to develop and run. The combination of small size (i.e. easy to use) and openness (i.e. easy access) could have significant implications for the development of artificial intelligence
Emelia Probasco e Kathleen Curlee (CSET) scrivono delle differenze tra Australia, Canada, Giappone, Regno Unito e Stati Uniti sui principi fondamentali dell’AI, che potrebbero avere un forte impatto sull’interoperabilità e sulla formulazione di norme internazionali

Elina Treyger, Jirka Taylor, Daniel Kim, Maynard A. Holliday (RAND Corporation) scrivono che gli algoritmi di intelligenza artificiale stanno permeando quasi tutti i settori dell’attività umana, comprese le decisioni strategiche. Gli Autori si interrogano sulla complessità delle dinamiche d’impatto dell’IA
