However, Concerns regarding AI persist, regardless of their advantages. Gen Z, in particular, are reportedly experiencing anxieties regarding their employment security, with 62% of them anticipating that AI might replace them within the next decade. In contrast, these concerns are felt by only 6% of senior executives, Fortune reports. While AI chatbots can assist in the automation of work and the completion of repetitive duties, such as proofreading texts or composing emails, employers such as Apple and JPMorgan Chase have implemented limitations on the utilization of ChatGPT over concerns regarding their inappropriate utilization and potential of errors.

Tesla stock lower as UBS says 'animal spirits' rather than fundamentals driving monster rallyFormer Rector of Koforidua Technical University (KTU), Dr George Afrani, has urged graduates to embrace opportunities in digitisation, software development, and artificial intelligence (AI) to thrive as entrepreneurs. Addressing the 21st Congregation of KTU in Koforidua yesterday, he emphasised that these fields, central to the ongoing Fourth Industrial Revolution, hold immense potential for young innovators. Speaking under the theme “The Future of Science and Technology Education: The Role of Stakeholders”, Dr Afrani highlighted that AI, though in its nascent stage, offers vast opportunities for graduates to leverage their technical skills to create innovative solutions. He encouraged them to harness these tools, not only to establish their businesses but also to create employment opportunities for others. A total of 1,332 graduates received Higher National Diplomas, while 797 earned Bachelor of Technology degrees in various disciplines during the ceremony. Dr. Afrani advised the graduates to adopt a proactive entrepreneurial mindset, starting small through digitization and social media. He cited inspirational examples such as Osei Kwame Despite, a celebrated Ghanaian entrepreneur, and Esther Ocloo, founder of Nkulenu Industries, to illustrate how discipline and hard work combined with technical expertise could lead to success. He further emphasized that entrepreneurship could be a powerful solution to Ghana’s unemployment challenges, urging the youth to commit to self-employment and innovation. In his address, the Vice Chancellor of KTU, Professor John Owusu, commended the graduates and encouraged them to diligently apply the skills and knowledge gained to excel in life. He announced significant advancements made by the university to enhance its Information, Communication, and Technology (ICT) infrastructure. “We have procured 100 computers to refurbish our computer laboratories and offices, which will help improve ICT service delivery within the university community,” Professor Owusu stated. Additionally, he revealed that the university had received GHC950,000 from the government for the academic year. “These funds are being directed toward academic facilities, infrastructure, faculty development, and research,” he said. Further, the institution received a pickup vehicle and advanced engineering equipment through the Ghana Education Trust Fund (GETFund) and the Commission for Technical and Vocational Education and Training, respectively, he said. Despite these developments, Professor Owusu outlined several pressing challenges the university faced, including limited on-campus accommodation for staff, insufficient library and laboratory facilities, and inadequate workshop spaces. He appealed to the government for support in addressing these critical needs to enhance KTU’s ability to attract and retain qualified personnel. FROM AMA TEKYIWAA AMPADU AGYEMAN, KOFORIDUA

Delhi BJP slams AAP welcomes order for probe into data collection under 'Mahila Samman Yojana'President Joe Biden has officially — all except for those of Robert Bowers (the Pittsburgh Tree of Life synagogue killer), Dzhokhar Tsarnaev (the Boston Marathon bomber) and Dylann Roof (the Charleston, South Carolina, church shooter). Those receiving commutations will remain in prison, probably for life, but the federal government will be unable to execute them. The bulk commutation is a core presidential power, it sits comfortably within the tradition of Anglo-American clemency practice, and it’s politically shrewd. It’s also the right thing to do, especially following the The justification for the bulk commutation begins with what would have happened had Biden done nothing. President-elect Donald Trump has long wrapped his public appeal in cartoonish capital punishment rhetoric — from urging death for the “Central Park Five” to campaign promises . Once in office, Trump further. The during the last six months of his first administration, which matched the number from the . In fact, before Daniel Lewis Lee succumbed to a lethal dose of pentobarbital in the summer of 2020, the federal government . It’s not just that prior administrations couldn’t convert death sentences into executions; they also didn’t seem to want to. Trump and his Justice Department were different. Attorney General the first five scheduled executions as a solemn duty to victims, but, according to sworn testimony from the associate deputy attorney general, the department did not make “a specific effort to reach out to the victims’ families of the 5 that were selected.” And in Daniel Lewis Lee’s case, officials refused to amend the lethal injection calendar to allow the victim's family to attend the execution and were worried about traveling during the Covid pandemic. I’ve previously argued that federal executions operate like vice signals that shape and cohere MAGA, forcing a contrast with (what is depicted as) the left’s virtue-signaled ambivalence and moral equivocation. I’ve as one in which “righteous state killings represent strength and resolve, a clear line separating good and evil, and belief in free will over structural disadvantage.” For Trump, federal executions are a grim exercise in political branding; and they are handpicked political fights that he wins. A new volley of executions would have been a grisly show of political opportunism, and Trump already had a new emcee: , his pick for attorney general. Bondi was Florida’s senior law enforcement officer, and killing prisoners was a defining part of her professional portfolio. Florida executed during her tenure, and she played a pivotal role in through the a invalidating longstanding state practices. She’s a staunch law-and-order conservative, and she will arguably arrive in Washington with more execution experience than any attorney general in American history. There’s no mystery about the execution push that awaited capitally sentenced federal prisoners in the absence of Biden’s intervention. Biden dissolved that gruesome timeline with the bulk commutation. endows the president with “Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States.” This so-called pardon power involves all forms of clemency, and it includes presidential authority to commute sentences for federal crimes. The Constitution, moreover, permits no legislative restrictions. There is a rich presidential history of using the pardon power in bulk, and it traces back centuries. President George Washington to those who had participated in the violent Whiskey Rebellion. When President Thomas Jefferson took office in 1801, anyone who had been convicted under the Alien and Sedition Acts. President the sentence of Eugene Debs and convicted under the Espionage Act. President Abraham Lincoln is perhaps the most famous practitioner of bulk clemency. He pardoned military prisoners convicted by and sleeping on duty — offenses then punishable by death — and he to former Confederates in exchange for loyalty oaths to a fragile Union. More recently, President Jimmy Carter to over 100,000 men who evaded the draft during the Vietnam War. Clemency norms are also fixed by state practices, since the death penalty is primarily a state-level institution. (During the modern death penalty era, which started in 1976, states have executed people; the federal government has executed .) State-by-state history reveals that there’s nothing unusual about bulk clemency for death-sentenced prisoners. In the last 20 years alone, governors from five states have used bulk clemency power to clear death rows: Kate Brown ( ), Jared Polis ( ), Martin O’Malley ( ), George Ryan and Pat Quinn ( ), and Jon Corzine ( ). In each state, the bulk commutations followed formal death penalty moratoria or prolonged periods of execution inactivity. In short, Biden’s bulk commutation is consistent with longstanding practice both under the federal Constitution and across other American jurisdictions. Indeed, the essential legacy of Anglo-American clemency power is mercy — the executive (royal) prerogative to sand down the sharpest edges of criminal punishment. Clemency power does present problems involving favoritism for political allies and personal friends, but those risks aren’t part of the calculus here. Tsk-tsking about restrained clemency power feels particularly silly at after and as he Biden’s bulk commutation is also an exercise in politically savvy loss avoidance. Death-sentenced prisoners are not automatically queued for execution. DOJ must select the unlucky ones, usually when there’s no pending litigation, and the BOP needs to update execution protocols and for lethal injections. More legal challenges follow, producing a unique cycle of public drama: community remembrance of traumatic violence, painful signatures of grief and loss, and climactic legal battles in the news. Biden has spared Democrats and aligned reformers the political costs of these execution media cycles, which creates cultural space for the Trumpist coalition to nurture and project the crude moral certainty that was so successful with the 2024 electorate. Trump and his allies use the execution cycles to position themselves as tough-on-crime protectors of American safety — rallying political communities against progressive ideas about mercy, human frailty, moral luck and the fallibility of legal institutions. Democrats win these cycles by avoiding them. Like any American political executive, modern presidents are drawn to ; otherwise, it’s too politically disruptive. But here there is no incoming Democratic executive to inherit the fallout. The electorate’s memory — and the derived window of political salience — is far too short for any long-term political repercussions. Finally, one hopes that there is a simple moral imperative at work. Biden must know that bulk commutation was the right thing to do. The American death penalty is suffused with the race of the defendant and the race of the victim. Substantially elevated risk of wrongful executions persists because of , , and . Large meta-studies that the death penalty doesn’t deter future offending relative to other severe punishments. And executions are so temporally separated from sentencing — on average, — that people strapped to the gurney bear little moral resemblance to the people who committed the crime decades earlier. There are also moral problems unique to the death penalty. DOJ typically seeks death sentences only in federal districts that sit within capitally active states, so federal death sentences exhibit an unsettling . Furthermore, there is a troubling arbitrariness in both federal death sentencing and federal executions. That’s because the likelihood of federal death sentences now depends quite heavily on which political party holds the presidency. And the more it depends on that, the less it depends on personal culpability and fairness. In pardoning his son, the disproportionate criminal justice response. If unjust treatment of those committing crimes was an authentic concern, then Biden had an obligation to look beyond the moral horizon of his own family’s interests. And he fulfilled that obligation, at least in part, by sparing 37 people that the federal government would otherwise kill.I WAS delighted to read Tom Williams’ letter about his excellent experience at the Hospital, but also about our need to bring hard-working staff from overseas to support the teams. Many years ago Winchester Visitors Group supported asylum seekers who had arrived in this country and were instantly thrown into prison. In Winchester prison, I visited a wonderful young man from Cameroon, with only one eye and heavily scarred, who had been left for dead in the road for handing out political leaflets. He was found and hidden in the hills, where he spent his time taking a computer apart to see how it worked. When danger approached again, he was put on a plane to England – where he was thrown into jail. He only spoke French and had no idea where he was. Luckily the WVG managed to set up an asylum claim for him, and I took him to London as quickly as possible to receive his refugee status. He was then able to find a flat to rent, and start earning his own living – mending computers – rather than costing the country a fortune every day. He married and had two children – a wonderful positive man with whom I am still in touch. Surely speeding the asylum claims must be an obvious way to save money, and also be a deterrent for people who know they will have no right to claim, and would therefore be returned to their country of origin? So many essential roles are done by hard-working teams from abroad, taking on the work which we no longer want to do.
Trump's TikTok Love Raises Stakes In Battle Over App's Fate
Why Macy's (M) Shares Are Sliding TodayRevolutionary Role-Playing Meets Automotive Innovation. Enter the World of “テスラかぶ”MONTREAL — A childhood friend of the Quebec man killed in a Florida boat explosion Monday said one of the victim's sisters was among the other six passengers injured in the blast. Thi Cam Nhung Lê said 41-year-old Sebastien Gauthier was celebrating the holidays with his family when the explosion occurred in Fort Lauderdale. Lê said Gauthier’s older sister was also on the boat when it erupted into flames, and she was taken to a hospital. “It’s unimaginable, incomprehensible,” Lê said Saturday, adding that Gauthier’s family and mutual friends informed her about his death. Lê, 40, said she first met Gauthier in her early adolescence and they grew up together in Quebec City. She remembers him as a globetrotter who always had a smile on his face. “He’s still my best friend. It’s always him I call if I need something, but he’s no longer with us,” she said. The last time the two friends saw each other face-to-face was about two years ago, Lê said, but she last messaged Gauthier on social media in the days before Monday's explosion. And on Jan. 1, her birthday, she would have expected a call from him, just like every year. “I’m shocked, surprised, and feeling a little bit of regret," she said. "You regret not having seen him more. I spent yesterday crying. You can’t believe your friend disappears from one day to the next." Earlier this week, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission confirmed that Gauthier died of his injuries in Broward County. The FWC said its preliminary investigation in Fort Lauderdale showed a 37-foot vessel exploded after its engines were started, injuring all seven passengers on board. Video posted on social media Monday showed the vessel engulfed in flames, with a thick column of black smoke billowing into the sky. However, Florida authorities have not provided The Canadian Press with more information about the investigation. Searching for an explanation has also left Lê angry. As she mourns the loss of her longtime friend, she said she’s still waiting for answers about what led to his unexpected death. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Dec. 28, 2024.
