“L’enjeu, pour des associations comme PEPS, est aussi de sensibiliser à ce que l’ensemble de la chaîne de production provoque. « On organise beaucoup la mobilisation autour du Congo, explique Merlin Gautier-Marchand, parce que la construction des serveurs exige beaucoup d’or et de coltan », des matériaux extraits dans des conditions dramatiques – en 2023, Amnesty International calculait qu’environ 40 000 enfants travaillaient dans les mines de Cobalt, notamment autour de la ville de Kolwezi.”

“Mr. Dorsey said he did not believe that Block was the first company to realize that the rapid developments of A.I. would change businesses — nor that it would be the last. “I think most companies are late,” he wrote. “Within the next year, I believe the majority of companies will reach the same conclusion and make similar structural changes. I’d rather get there honestly and on our own terms than be forced into it reactively.””

““It’s not about scoring individuals or enforcing scripts. It’s about reinforcing great hospitality and giving managers helpful, real-time insights so they can recognize their teams more effectively,” Burger King said in a statement. Burger King added that the key words are “one of many signals to help managers understand service patterns.” “We believe hospitality is fundamentally human. The role of this technology is to support our teams so they can stay present with guests,” Burger King said.”

The data center rebellion is reshaping the political landscape

“From Archbald, Pennsylvania, to Page, Arizona, tech firms are seeking to plunk down data centers in locations that sometimes are not zoned for such heavy industrial uses, within communities that had not planned for them. These supersize data centers can use more energy than entire cities and drain local water supplies. Anger over the perceived trampling of communities by Silicon Valley has entered the national political conversation and could affect voters of all political persuasions in this year’s midterm elections. Many of the residents fighting the project in Sand Springs voted for President Donald Trump three times and also backed Gov. J. Kevin Stitt (R), who implores tech firms to build in his state.”
