A.I. systems and empathy A worst-case scenario for the future Fighting against dystopian threats
Automation has the potential to uproot every part of our social system, and artificial intelligence will get into a territory that no human creation dared ever before: the capacity to know. There are plenty of ways how the transformation before us could go down, but it mostly depends on the human ability to adapt...

Update on NIH ’ s Efforts to Address Sexual Harassment in Science
Discussions from both the NIH Anti-Harassment Committee and the ACD Working Group strongly endorsed an ethos of transparency and accountability to demonstrate the agency’s serious commitment to addressing harassment and deterring future inappropriate behavior. To bolster that transparency and accountability, we want to be clear that NIH has not and will not just look the other way when accusations come to our attention. In 2018, NIH followed up on sexual harassment-related concerns at more than two dozen institutions resulting in the replacement of 14 principal investigators named on NIH grant awards, disciplinary action...

Media Misses: Worrisome International Flashpoints
It is no secret that Americans tend to focus more on domestic news stories than on the coverage of international affairs. Media priorities also reflect the perception that, unless the United States is about to enter a major war or is already mired in one, readers and viewers care primarily about issues at home. Unfortunately, that situation can cause Americans to be blindsided by dangerous overseas developments. While recent coverage has focused on such issues as the fight over President Trump ’s border wall and Michael Cohen’s testimony before the House Oversight Committee, two worrisome foreign crises are brewi...

Are Child-Care Subsidies Actually “Good For The Economy”?
Commentators are already implying Democrat Elizabeth Warren ’s new universal child-care plan will be “good for the economy.”Moody ’s Analytics reckons subsidies will induce more mothers into the labor market, raising growth rates by 0.08 percent per year over a decade. Others say that cheaper out-of-pocket child-care will reduce time spent out of the labor force by working mothers, and this greater maternal labor market atta chment will boost recorded productivity and women’s earning potential. Combined, it is said the universal program will raise the economy’s productive capacity and thus recorded level of GD...

China Is Building The Ultimate Technological Health Paradise. Or Is It?
How could a country keep around 1.4 billion
people healthy when the system struggles with corruption, lack of resources and
an aging population? China, the emerging giant with a strong central leadership
fostering technology and innovation, places its bets on artificial
intelligence, telemedicine, cloud-based hospitals, and WeChat. While that could sound like
an ultimate technological paradise, the question is, what are they going to do
with the vast amount of data or to what interests are they going to leverage
their state of the art A.I. systems? Generally, how will we speak about digital
health in China: a healthcare dy...

Roger McNamee ’s Facebook Critique
In a recentTimemagazine article,Roger McNamee offers an agitated criticism of Facebook, adapted from his bookZucked: Waking Up to the Facebook Catastrophe. Facebook “has a huge impact on politics and social welfare,” he claims, and “has done things that are truly horrible.” Facebook, he says, is “terrible for America. ”McNamee suggests his “history with the company made me a credible voice.” From 2005 to 2015, McNamee was one of a half dozen managing directors of Elevation Partners, an $1.9 billion private equity firm that bought and sold shares in eight companies, including such oldies asForbes and P...

Wall Emergency, Even If Legal Under Existing Law, Violates the Separation of Powers
Our Constitution divides federal power into three branches of government: the legislative, the executive, and the judicial. One of the powers given exclusively to the legislative branch (Congress) is to spend money, or to appropriate money for the executive branch to spend, in enforcing the law (which is the president ’s power and indeed duty). Specifically, Article I, Section 9 (the Appropriations Clause) says that “No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law.” And of course, the purposes for which Congress can exercise this “power of the purse” are enume rated in ...

Where Is Digital Health Heading In Denmark?
After reading the Danish digital health strategy, one
of the most forward-looking examples of a government-supported objective to adjust the medical arena to the 21st century,
we looked around what real-life projects aim to transform patients’ and
doctors’ lives for the better in the Scandinavian country. Our findings are
thrilling: the newly established Danish National Genome Center strives to have at least 60,000 whole-genome
sequenced in the next 5 years, while the Copenhagen Healthtech Cluster wants to
set up a network of data registers updated so fast that it might enable helping
doctors real-time – perhaps even...

A " Smart " Surveillance Wall Would Be Worse Than Trump ' s " Big, Beautiful " Wall
Last week President Trump lost his game of chicken with Congressional Democrats and signed a bill that will keep the government open until February 15th. The fight over the recent government shutdown centered on border security, with the president insisting that Congress provide funds for a border wall. Congress didn ’t provide the funds, and Democrats in Congress have been celebrating their victory over the president. Preventing the president from building the border wall is a clear political victory for Democrats. However, the border security legislation lawmakers in Congress eventually negotiate could inclu de the inc...

8 Ways to Feel Delighted Even in the Dead of Winter
The holidays are over, which for some of us is a huge relief, but for others is disappointing and depressing. It also doesn’t help that many of us live in places where darkness descends in the late afternoon, and the temperatures are bone chilling (no matter how many layers we layer!). Which leads us to spend less time outside, and less time with others.
All of this makes it tough to feel genuine joy and delight. It can be a gloomy time of year, and gloomy is exactly how we feel.
During winter, clients regularly tell therapist Melissa Divaris Thompson that they feel alone and tired. All. The. Time. They share that when t...

Transforming cities: the potential of everyday cycling
This report estimates that 34,000 incidences of eight conditions, including Type 2 diabetes, stroke, breast cancer and depression, would be prevented in seven major cities between 2017 and 2040, if cycling increased at rates like those seen since the millennium in London. The report outlines actions for local government to help increase and normalise cycling for local journeys.ReportPress release
