Bangladesh launched its first tech park on the outskirts of Dhaka in 2015. The construction of Bangabandhu Hi-Tech City was partly financed by a $120 million loan from the World Bank, and it was touted to become the country’s “cyber capital”

I am deeply troubled by reports that the Israeli military’s bombing campaign includes AI as a tool in the identification of targets, resulting in a high level of civilian casualties.

AI should be used as a force for good to benefit the world; not to contribute to waging war on an industrial level, blurring accountability.

"Killed" is a verb. "Death" is a noun.

'She says: ''I came to Lagos to look for a job. I wanted to work in a fast food restaurant. I couldn't find a job.'''

So Robin Hammond asks her to take her clothes off for a photo?

And you are selling this @panospictures?

To whom?

Hey @Apple, this is a very bad look. 🇵🇸

White western folk holding forth on Afghanistan and ‘what has it given the world’ (in itself a sickening question as it requires cultural worth in material terms), one word:

Rumi.

In Americas, cases are surging, deaths rates at highest ever, health systems on verge of collapse. But despite suffering a third of global deaths, less than two out of 1,000 vaccines have been administered in the poorest countries. The world needs to step up, now ⬇️

Rozina Islam is the key journalist in all the Prothom Alo reports on corruption in the health sector during the pandemic in Bangladesh. This case against her is nothing short of an attack on free media. The authorities must intervene urgently and free her
