DON'T FEAR AI - ATKINSON

"Automation Not So Automatic", a study published by the ITIF in 2013 predicted that 20% of US jobs are likely to be automated in the next 15 years.

A 2016 study commissioned by the OECD, "The Risk of Automation for Jobs in OECD Countries: A Comparative Analysis", estimated that about 44% of US workers with less than a high school degree hold jobs made up of highly automatable tasks. Only 1% of people with a bachelor’s degree or higher have similar jobs.

"Artificial Intelligence, Automation, and the Economy", a 2016 study published by the Executive Office of the President of the United States, estimated that 83% of jobs making less than $20 per hour would be threatened by automation, while only 31% of jobs making between $20 and $40 and just 4% of jobs making above $40 per hour would come under pressure.

The Israeli economist Manuel Trajtenberg wrote in his study "AI as the next GPT: A Political-Economy Perspective" (2018), that the skills needed by the next production revolution, those that employers desire, are seldom taught in school.

In 2011, in New York City, IBM, contributed to the foundation of Pathways in Technology Early College High School (P-Tech), which runs from grade 9 to grade 14 and works to give high-school students marketable skills in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) fields.

HEALTH IS WEALTH MAKASA

In in 2015 The Lancet Commission on Global Surgery reported that 28-32% of the global burden of disease requires surgical intervention and that about 5 billion people (70% of the global population) lack access to safe and affordable surgery.

Until 2013 Zambia  had a high maternal and neonatal mortality rate (591 per 100 000 live births and 34 per 1 000 live births, respectively).

The Lancet Commission on Global Surgery estimated in 2015 that 33 million people worldwide face each year catastrophic expenses due to surgery and anaesthesia and that the annual loss of total gross domestic product because of surgical expenses by 2030 will be $12.3 trillion.

According to the World Health Organization, weak health systems were the key factor in the spread and control of the virus during the Ebola disease outbreak in West Africa in 2014.

To bring maternal mortality and infant mortality rates down the Republic of Zambia improved local surgical care capacity as a key intervention back in 2010.

The COST- Africa (Clinical Officer Surgical Training in Africa) programme, founded under the European Union's Seventh Framework Programme, ran from 2011 to 2015.

Greater access to surgical care in developing countries could avoid 1.5 million deaths a year. According to the World Health Organization, 5 million people died of injuries in 2012, and 270,000 women died of pregnancy complications.

The “SURG-Africa” programme (Safe Surgery for District and Rural Populations in Africa) aims to increase surgical skills training in Zambia, Malawi and Tanzania to improve surgical services.

"Virtual water" is a concept used for the first time by John Anthony Allan in the early 1990s to define the unseen water used by agriculture and industry.

The irrigation of 20% of farming land accounts for the production of 40% of our food.

Around 69% of fresh water available on Earth is used for agriculture.

More than 660 million people lack safe drinking water and 2.4 billion live without access to proper sanitation

Fresh water accounts for less than 3% of the Earth’s total supply.

Oceans cover around 70% the Earth's surface.

Greek scientists, in collaboration with UK researchers, funded by the Hellenic Foundation for Research & Innovation in Athens, are developing “microbial fuel cells” which are bio-electrochemical systems using bacteria to convert organic and inorganic compounds found in wastewater and produce electricity.

Noor will be the the largest thermal power station in the world.

Women remain underrepresented in decision-making bodies designing climate actions and drafting climate change policies in international organisations and the public and private sectors.

Noor I has 500,000 mirrors designed to follow the path of the sun. It provides power to more than a million local people at full capacity.

Morocco government has a renewable energy goal of 52% by 2030.

Noor II produces 200 megawatts of energy, along with Noor III it provides surplus power to Algeria and Spain. Noor III has a different design to Noor I and II: it has seven thousand flat mirrors which form tilting platforms raised on concrete stilts.

The Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) stated in their 2019 report that one million species are in imminent danger of being lost.

40% of landmass in the EU is forests and other wooded land. Afforestation and natural succession have increased this area by about 0.4% a year, in recent decades.
