Reflectii

Be wary of a company – any company – who exerts moral muscle as they create software and digital platforms that are injurious and simultaneously lauded for curing that injury. Be especially wary of Anthropic. With sagacious loftiness, it warns of the disabling dangers of the artificial intelligence (AI) frontier. Principled, it tells the Trump administration it will not partake in creating AI software that aids mass surveillance, a move that earned it an order of excommunication as a “supply chain risk”. It then goes on to create Claude Mythos Preview, a seemingly dystopian model that will, according to certain computer scientists “scan the hidden plumbing of the internet – operating systems, browsers, routers, and shared open-source code – at an unprecedented scale” thereby turning specialised hacking into “a routine and automated process.”

Les effets les plus importants des conflits sont souvent les moins visibles : ils détruisent les parcours de vie, affectent la santé, plombent les économies, exacerbent les inégalités de genre, accélèrent les déplacements forcés… La guerre génère aussi des gagnants, intentionnels ou involontaires.

In Haiti, 5 915 people were killed in 2025 (compared to 5 601 in 2024). The national homicide rate got to 49.8 per 100 000 people, and Port-au-Prince, which is home to about a quarter of the population, reached nearly 140 per 100 000 people, ranking it among the most violent cities in the world.

Members of the International Energy Agency have agreed to release 400 million barrels of oil from strategic reserves.

Iran’s paralysis of the Strait of Hormuz has led to major disruption in global oil and gas supply and many countries have begun tapping into their strategic oil reserves to evade an economic crisis.

Originally from Kosovo, Hamdi Lataj has listed his address in one of Toronto’s most exclusive condo towers, sits courtside at Raptors basketball games, and appears in a music video for the hip-hop superstar Drake.

The 62-year-old man of Albanian descent appears to live a life of luxury. But police and prosecution files from both Canada and the U.S. reveal Lataj’s troubled past.

Pendant douze ans, par des voies top secrètes, le chancelier allemand a transféré 20 milliards de shekels à Israël. Objectif : financer le réacteur nucléaire de Dimona et assurer l’avenir du pays.

En mars 1960 à New York Adenauer et Ben Gourion s’entendent secrètement. “Une obligation morale, … un moyen d’expier les crimes de la Seconde Guerre mondiale”. Mais un nazi éminent reconverti était chef de cabinet du chancelier et d’autres au gouvernement. Et si Eichman en parlait à son procès?…

L’AIMSIB s’honore aujourd’hui de pouvoir donner une belle audience à la fois à l’un de nos meilleurs chercheurs français spécialisé en sciences de l’information et de la communication, j’ai nommé Emmanuel Carré, et à son critique du jour en la personne d’un autre chercheur, Laurent Mucchielli. L’un dissèque le dernier livre de l’autre. On comprend rapidement que la pensée de l’un suit voire précède celle de l’autre. Et merveille, ce travail de recherche ne semble devoir essuyer aucune critique. Merci à l’un d’avoir fait penser l’autre. Le lecteur final n’a plus qu’à se régaler de la justesse de ce texte radical. Excellente lecture.

In February 2026, the United States officially completed its withdrawal from the WHO, leaving a debt of $280 million unpaid. Experts note that the consequences have already come: information about infections has become fragmented, funding is moving from systemic support to bilateral agreements. The WHO is considering several ways to solve the problems that have arisen, for example, a partial return of the United States to the global health system. However, the poorest countries have already suffered from a lack of funding and a gap in continuous data transmission.
