In this broadcast from La Cafetera de Radiocable.com, we wonder if Skynet is perhaps being born… Authorities around the world are beginning to worry about the impact of Artificial Intelligence and the Spanish government commissioned a report to try to find out how far this impact can go. For now, we know it has at least the potential to end millions of jobs, because AI manages to simplify millions of processes that designers, programmers, journalists used to do before… We spoke with Ezequiel García, deputy director of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Enabling Technologies at the State Secretariat for Digitization and Artificial Intelligence who gives us some clues.

But the world keeps turning and, in the meantime, there are worries about the immediate effects of other challenges. Guterres, the UN Secretary General, has once again warned against climate change, asking for action because even if there is less to do, we still have time.

This infuriated Maduro, with whom it appeared the United States was entering into a new relationship. Meanwhile, Mexico is blasting Biden for his neighborhood policy after learning that Washington would deploy 1,500 troops to the border to prevent the arrival of migrants. u Sudan also remains an epicenter of concern, with the UN estimating that up to 800,000 civilians could flee the country as the African nation plunges into renewed armed conflict.

Felix Bolaños also appeared and it created a showdown of protocols.
