Sudan is no stranger to civil war, but this horrifying conflict has now raged for 1000 days. The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Türk, told the UN Human Rights Council in November that bloodstains (identified as such by Yale University) on the ground in El Fasher had been photographed from space. But, as Archbishop Kondo told us, the world has neglected the situation in Sudan for far too long. “If you really want to compare the situation of Sudan and Ukraine or Gaza, I think Sudan may be even worse,” he said a few weeks ago.

Nonetheless, Dunelm highlighted furniture availability as a key area for improvement, with potential sales likely lost to competitors such as IKEA and Next. The cold snap in January will also boost consumer desire for Dunelm’s specialism in cosy items, compared to the unseasonably mild December.

Laura Bates, the founder of the Everyday Sexism Project, says there is something particularly shocking about deepfake images. It feels like someone has taken you and done something to you and there is nothing you can do about it. Watching a video of yourself being violated without your consent is an almost out-of-body experience.”Among school-age children, the impact can be huge.

A striking example comes from a commercial risk-prediction algorithm used by U.S. hospitals to identify patients who needed extra care. The Dangers of Unexplainable AI (Transparency Issue)Another growing worry with medical AI is the “black box” problem, where algorithms give answers without showing how they arrived at them. Patient Privacy in the Age of Medical AIThere is further concern surrounding the large volumes of private medical data required to train AI systems.
