14 million jobs worldwide will vanish in the next 5 years

 Recent layoffs in big companies? Like Google, Amazon, META for Facebook, Apple, CISCO and Microsoft? How about other small companies such as SNAP, UBER, IBM, SAP, Dell, Salesforce etc. It is due to Artificial intelligence - AI or ChatGPT, human jobs will be dwindling.

Huge disruptions will rock the global job market over the next five years as the economy weakens and companies boost the adoption of technologies such as artificial intelligence.

That finding comes from the World Economic Forum, a report based on surveys of more than 800 companies. Per the report,employers expect to create 69 million new jobs by 2027 and eliminate 83 million positions. That will result in a net loss of 14 million jobs, equivalent to 2% of current employment. Many factors will feed labor market churn during that period. The shift to renewable energy systems will be a powerful engine for generating jobs, while slower economic growth and high inflation will drive losses. The rush to deploy artificial intelligence, meanwhile, will serve as both a positive and a negative force.

The Israel - Palestine Gaza Conflict : A complete story

 The Israel – Palestine conflict is rooted in pre-biblical times. Though its borders have shifted over the years, Palestinian territories used to be what is now Israel, Gaza, and the West Bank. 

Both Israeli Jews’ and Palestinian Arabs’ history, culture, and identity are linked to the Palestinian territories and to the ancient city of Jerusalem, “one of the most bitterly contested cities on earth,” according to The Associated Press.

The Ottoman Empire controlled the region for about 400 years before its defeat, along with Germany, in World War I. Britain was given control of Palestine by the League of Nations in 1920, under an order called the British Mandate.

In 1917, the British government signaled its support for the establishment of a Jewish state in Israel with the Balfour Declaration.

While the declaration stated support, it also said that “nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestinian territories, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country.”
