Despite official US boycott, participants agreed for shared responsibilities in dealing with the challenges of climate change and reforms in the UN with the objective of equitable global governance

The first ever G20 summit on the African continent concluded on Sunday, November 23 on a note of shared responsibilities to deal with global inequality and growing debt crisis among the poor and developing countries.

China is building the world’s first pregnancy robot, a humanoid machine designed to nurture life from conception to birth. Developed by Guangzhou-based Kaiwa Technology and led by Dr. Zhang Qifeng of Nanyang Technological University, the system uses artificial amniotic fluid, oxygenation pumps, and nutrient tubes to recreate the protective environment of the human womb with extraordinary precision.⁠
⁠
Unlike incubators that only support premature infants, this breakthrough is intended to replicate the entire gestation process, from the earliest stages of development through delivery. A prototype is expected by 2026, with a projected cost of under 100,000 yuan, roughly $14,000. That is far cheaper than traditional surrogacy, making it a potential option for the 15 percent of couples worldwide struggling with infertility. Advocates also see promise for advancing research into birth complications, genetic disorders, and fetal growth in ways previously impossible.⁠
⁠
The foundation for this innovation comes from earlier experiments such as the 2017 “biobag,” which successfully sustained premature lambs outside the womb. But taking the leap to automated human gestation raises profound ethical concerns. Critics argue it risks weakening maternal bonds, commodifying childbirth, and creating legal gray zones around parenthood, inheritance, and identity.⁠
⁠
Chinese officials in Guangdong Province are already drafting regulations to address these challenges, underscoring how seriously policymakers are treating the implications. Globally, the debate is widening, some view the technology as a humanitarian breakthrough, while others fear it could deepen inequality or spark a new reproductive marketplace.⁠
⁠
If successful, the pregnancy robot would be one of the most disruptive inventions in medical history, a redefinition of family, reproduction, and the role of technology in creating life itself.

More nonsense… what drives emotion then action… everyone worried… The idea of a President firing the Federal Reserve Chair undermines the core principle of central bank independence. The Fed’s credibility hinges on its ability to make monetary decisions free from political interference. Any public pressure or threat from the executive branch not only damages market confidence but also incentivizes the Fed to double down on its restrictive stance tightening policy further to prove it’s not bending to political will. In moments like this, perception is policy. The Fed cannot afford to appear influenced, especially when inflation and financial stability are at stake. We have high inequality, stock markets at all time high and the bond yields spiking higher… cutting would not be fiscally responsible in my view. #FederalReserve #MonetaryPolicy #FedIndependence #Macroeconomics #InterestRates #FiscalPolicy #CentralBanking #Inflation #Markets

Switzerland leads in average wealth per adult at over $687,000, but Luxembourg takes the crown for median wealth nearly $400,000 signaling more evenly distributed affluence. The U.S., by contrast, shows a sharp gap: second in average wealth but much lower in median, highlighting deep inequality.

Hong Kong, Australia, and Denmark also post strong numbers on both metrics, while countries like Belgium and New Zealand punch above their weight in median terms. Singapore and the UK despite their economic might, reveal wider wealth disparities.

Average tells you how wealthy a country is. Median tells you how wealthy its people feel.

The 50 richest countries by GDP per capita in 2025, ranked by the IMF. Luxembourg leads the world at over $140,000 per capita, followed by Ireland and Switzerland.

Notably, small nations and financial hubs dominate the top of the list, highlighting the impact of low population, strong service sectors, and favourable tax environments. Meanwhile, global GDP per capita still sits far below at $14,200.

This is a stark reminder of the disparities in economic output and opportunity across the globe.

Geoffrey Hinton, a leading figure in artificial intelligence, raises a serious concern: while AI has the potential to greatly boost productivity, its rewards may not be distributed fairly.

Ideally, increased productivity should result in more goods, better services, and higher living standards for all. But in practice—especially under capitalism—those gains often end up concentrated among the wealthy.

Hinton warns that AI could deepen inequality by enriching the already rich while displacing large numbers of workers. Profits would rise for corporations and elites, not because society is progressing, but because machines are taking over human roles.

This growing divide could lead to social unrest and open the door for authoritarian leaders to gain power.

AI holds great promise to transform education, healthcare, and daily life. But without systemic changes to ensure fair wealth distribution, it risks worsening the very inequalities it’s meant to help solve.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman announced that ChatGPT Plus will be free for college students in the U.S. and Canada through May.

The initiative supports students during finals by giving them access to advanced features like GPT-4, image generation, and voice interaction.

It reflects OpenAI’s effort to boost AI literacy and reduce digital inequality in education.

Peter Diamandis has spent the past two decades promoting a vision of a future defined by abundance and powered by exponential technologies.

With degrees from MIT and Harvard, the serial entrepreneur is best known for founding organizations such as the XPRIZE Foundation and Singularity University. He has also built strong relationships with influential figures in tech and business, including Elon Musk.

Diamandis’s followers are drawn to his optimistic outlook and data-driven arguments that technology has already helped lift billions out of poverty and continues to improve living standards around the world. His critics, however, argue that his techno-utopian perspective fails to account for widening inequality and deep systemic imbalances, particularly in the United States.

Regardless of where one stands on Diamandis’s ideas, his work and persona continue to spark interest. We recently spoke with him about the concepts of abundance and longevity, including his thoughts on Bryan Johnson, a former acquaintance who is now attempting to reverse the aging process. Diamandis, who is 63 years old, claims to be “biologically 39.”

The full conversation is available to listen to, and selected excerpts from the interview, edited for length, can be found at the link in the bio

The traditional 9-to-5, five-day workweek could soon become a thing of the past, according to Bill Gates.

In a recent appearance on The Tonight Show, Gates predicted that advancements in artificial intelligence might eventually shorten our workweek to just two days. He explained that AI could outperform humans in many jobs, making high-level intelligence widely accessible. Professions like teaching and medicine, he said, could benefit significantly as AI helps fill existing gaps—potentially reshaping society and how we spend our time.

Gates went further, suggesting that once AI achieves artificial general intelligence (AGI), only a handful of roles will remain in human hands—mostly those we want to keep, such as creative arts or sports. Routine tasks like farming, manufacturing, and delivery could soon be entirely automated.

While some view this as a path to improved work-life balance, others see potential dangers. Experts like Geoffrey Hinton warn that without proper safeguards, AI could worsen inequality by displacing jobs faster than society can adapt. With growing concerns about AI ethics and control, many argue that careful oversight will be essential as this technology continues to evolve.
