Nobel Prize winner Simon Johnson: Whether AI will exacerbate polarization depends on whether we develop "artificial intelligence that supports workers"
Capital and talent are pouring into artificial intelligence, and artificial intelligence technology is advancing by leaps and bounds. However, the relationship between technological progress and economic prosperity is close and complex, especially the impact of technological progress on the labor market.

Most dangerous places on Earth
There are some places on Earth that are extremely dangerous to visit. These include lakes, caves, and islands that pose serious risks to human life. For instance, Death Road, or Yungas Road in Bolivia, is known for its perilous twists along high cliffs. The road is narrow, without guardrails, and has been the site of numerous accidents. In 2006, a new, safer road was built, but some daredevil drivers still choose Death Road, which is now technically illegal.

What is La Niña Effect: Understanding Its Causes, Impact, and Global Significance
La Niña is literally a term originating from the Spanish word, which, when translated into English means "The Little Girl," a naturally occurring climate effect that has had an impressive role in altering the local weather patterns globally. El Niño, in reality, is the counterpart; together they create the ENOS cycle of climate influences. While El Niño represents the warming of the surface waters of the central and eastern Pacific Ocean, La Niña is characterized by the opposite, which is the cooling of those waters. Even though it may not be talked about as much as its "brother," El Niño, the impacts of La Niña are just as profound and widespread.

Finding a Way Through Swampy Ground to Cross the Bering Bridge
Contrary to popular belief, the land bridge that spans the Bering Strait and endures for a large portion of the last Ice Age was probably quite different. According to a new study, the area between Asia and North America comprised boggy wetlands dotted by rivers and higher ground rather than a mixture of grassland, tundra, and ice sheet. The question of how and when the earliest humans arrived in the Americas is further complicated by the results.
