If Meta's intransigence isn't enough, AI poses an even greater threat to journalism | M... - 0 views

  •  
    "It's hardly a surprise that Meta, owner of Facebook, is refusing to renew its deals with Australia's media companies. It was always grudging in its negotiations and never really accepted the principle that it should pay for the benefit of using the work of journalists. Facebook and Google were forced to the bargaining table by the news media bargaining code. That law allowed the government to "designate" digital platforms, which would force them to negotiate with media companies. The big stick was that if the parties could not agree, the decision would be made by an independent arbiter. In other words, Google and Facebook would lose control."

Meta is 'reckless' in 'need-to-know situations', Canada warns Australia as it braces fo... - 0 views

    "The breakdown in negotiations resulted in Meta blocking all news sources on Facebook in Canada "recklessly and dangerously" as all 10 provinces and three territories in the country burned, Canada's heritage minister, Pascale St-Onge, told Guardian Australia. "Facebook is leaving disinformation and misinformation to spread on their platform, while choosing to block access to reliable, high-quality, independent journalism," St-Onge said. "Facebook is just leaving more room for misinformation during need-to-know situations like wildfires, emergencies, local elections and other critical times for people to make decisions on matters that affect them.""

    "The research refers to tech executives discussing how AI models will be able to predict a user's intent and actions. It quotes the chief executive of the largest AI chipmaker, Jensen Huang of Nvidia, who said last year that models will "figure out what is your intention, what is your desire, what are you trying to do, given the context, and present the information to you in the best possible way"."

Transforming global health supply chains through data visibility | McKinsey - 0 views

  •  
    Data visibility is an important aspect to achieve the highest potential of the healthcare system for all. Right now most countries are still stuck with a decentralised set of data or no digitalisation at all. This leads to harder distribution and stocking of resources, using supply-chains and making decisions, this also includes every form of system with a high population and research. There are 4 factors in achieving data visibility. Stakeholder commitment, road map to digitalisation, data capability and interoperability.

      The digital divide and the "glass ceiling" both exacerbate gender inequality and prevent women from achieving their full potential. A diversified strategy may be needed to address these problems, including policy changes to advance gender equality, financial support for education and training, and initiatives (transformative change) to overcome prejudice and stereotypes that support gender inequality.

Mitigating Barriers to Interoperability in Health Care | HIMSS - 0 views

  •  
    Interoperability in the healthcare system is the gateway to a successful healthcare information exchange. It has excellent benefits like it improves clinical decision-making and reduces time wasting. However, even though there are many attempts to implement the policy, interoperability still has barriers that stop it from success. There are still some third parties that use this for financial gains. Also, the people struggle with the technical and practical challenges of the protocol. Plus, privacy and trust are not truly gained in terms of the privacy and security of those data exchanges.
