Artificial Intelligence & Equality podcast is joined by Angela Kane to discuss how AI is likely to upend geopolitics. Kane, a former UN under-secretary-general, also shares some of her concerns about the role of the UN and the many ways AI could undermine international peace and security.

Rapidly identifying an emerging infectious pathogen is critical to prevent a disease outbreak from becoming an epidemic — or even a deadly pandemic. But right now, there is no agreed international mechanism to do so. Veteran UN diplomat Angela Kane is trying to change that.

Shireen Hunter is Professor for Political Science at the Georgetown University in Washington DC and a career diplomat. Among others she addresses the following issues: A stronger defense cooperation among Arab States and with Arab States in the framework of the Abraham-Accords against Iran is emerging, but an Arab-NATO is not likely. Both President Biden and his predecessor abandoned the two-state solution for the Palestinians. Iran’s nuclear program is just a pretext to weaken Iran’s geopolitical position in the region. The nuclear agreement (JCPOA) would be the best means to prevent a nuclear weapon. The alternative to the JCPOA could be war. Israel wants neither, however.

Much research shows that women from refugee or migrant communities are less likely to advocate for themselves or assert their human rights and other legal protections, despite experiencing serious human rights violations in Austria, in their home countries, or en route to Austria. They do not fully understand the legal system or how to access support, which leads to stress, fear, and isolation. It also results in many refugee and migrant women and their communities being subjected to human rights violations.
