(CNN) — El papa Francisco pidió un tratado internacional para regular el uso de la inteligencia artificial (IA), advirtiendo del riesgo de que esta nueva tecnología provoque una “dictadura tecnológica” que amenace la paz y la democracia.El pontífice, de 86 años, quiere que los líderes mundiales acuerden un “tratado internacional vinculante” sobre la IA desarrollado dentro de un marco ético. Francisco hizo el llamado en su mensaje anual para el Día Mundial de la Paz que celebra la Iglesia católica cada 1 de enero.“La capacidad humana única para el juicio moral y la toma de decisiones éticas es más que una compleja colección de algoritmos, y esa capacidad no puede reducirse a programar una máquina, que por muy ‘inteligente’ que sea sigue siendo una máquina”, escribió Francisco.“Hay que plantearse una serie de preguntas urgentes. ¿Cuáles serán las consecuencias, a mediano y largo plazo, de estas nuevas tecnologías digitales? ¿...

Florida community unites after vandal destroys sand menorah

JUNO BEACH, Fla. (WSVN) — In the face of hate, a Florida community has come together, stronger than ever, after a vicious vandal destroyed a sand menorah. Instead of succumbing to pain, residents turned the incident into an opportunity to send a powerful message of unity and resilience.The sand menorah, built on the first night of Hanukkah last Thursday on Juno Beach, was vandalized on Tuesday. Not only was it destroyed, but the vandal also used tiki torch candles to form a Nazi swastika on top. In response, community members, undeterred, insisted on rebuilding the menorah. Despite heavy winds and rain, hundreds gathered on Wednesday evening to witness the menorah being relit. The ceremony turned a potentially dark moment into a celebration of strength and solidarity.Barbara Wagner, a Jupiter resident, expressed her emotions. “It brings tears to my eyes, honestly, to see all these people,” she said. Rabbi Leib Ezagui expressed the importance of coming together in t...

NATO chief sees ‘real risk’ of Putin attacking other countries after Ukraine

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:44:58 GMT

NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg warned today that Russian President Vladimir Putin will wage war elsewhere if Russia defeats Ukraine.“If Putin wins in Ukraine, there is real risk that his aggression will not end there,” Stoltenberg told reporters during a meeting with Slovakia’s Prime Minister Robert Fico. “Our support is not charity. It is an investment in our security.”Fico, who won September’s election, is skeptical of aiding Ukraine and has ended military deliveries to Kyiv. But Stoltenberg wants the alliance to hold firm against Russia.“The only way to reach a just and lasting solution is to convince President Putin that they will not win on the battlefield.And the only way to ensure that President Putin realizes that he is not winning on the battlefield is to continue to support Ukraine,” the NATO chief said.His comments came on the same day the Russian leader made clear he has no intention of backing down in his war agai...

ECB leaves rates unchanged, winds down crisis program early

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:44:58 GMT

FRANKFURT — The European Central Bank left its key discount rate unchanged at a record high of 4 percent on Thursday and signaled it has no plans to cut interest rates any time soon.  The decision had been widely expected, as inflation has started to slow and economic growth has gone into reverse as a result of previous rate increases, which are now squeezing corporate and household borrowers hard.The bank now expects a sustainable return to the 2 percent inflation target from 2025 onwards, implying that it won’t need to add to what has been its most aggressive policy tightening in 25 years.However, it warned against reading too much into a sharp drop in headline inflation in recent months, saying: “Underlying inflation has eased further. But domestic price pressures remain elevated, primarily owing to strong growth in unit labor costs.”And at her press conference, ECB President Christine Lagarde stressed that the ECB was not about to ‘pivot’. “We did not di...
