“Fully delegating decisions to AI could dehumanize processes that require empathy”.

Q_How to educate younger generations to use AI in an appropriate way?

A_To educate younger generations to use AI in an appropriate way, it is crucial to
start with a solid foundation of knowledge about what AI is and how it works. First,
we must first teach them the basic principles of artificial intelligence, such as the concept of machine learning, neural networks and data processing. This will allow them to
This will allow them to understand that AI is not “magic”, but a tool created and trained by humans.

Q_Are there new applications coming out all the time, how can young people and professionals know the tricks and shortcuts to get the best out of it? And how to ask the AI in the right way so that it can help us to manage it as well as possible?

A_To get the best out of the new applications, both young people and professionals should always be informed about the new professionals should always be informed about updates and explore resources such as online tutorials and specialized forums.
Also, when interacting with the application's AI, it is important to ask clear questions, such as “What are the keyboard shortcuts for this tool?” or “How can I integrate it with other applications?”. In this way, we can optimize its use and improve our productivity.

Q_What are the ethical implications of the use of AI in making important decisions, such as in justice or healthcare?

A_The use of AI in important decisions, such as in justice or health care, poses
ethical risks such as bias in algorithms, which could lead to unfair decisions, and the privacy of personal data.
privacy of personal data. In addition, completely delegating decisions to AI could dehumanize processes that require empathy. It is essential to ensure
transparency in algorithms and ensure that decisions can be reviewed by humans to mitigate these risks and maintain the privacy of personal data.

Q_What can be done to avoid confusion with the images and videos that are used with the help of AI to avoid this with the help of AI to avoid scams and confusion?

A_To avoid confusion with AI-created images and videos, the first thing to do is to be
transparent about their origin. I always try to make it clear when a content has been generated or modified with AI,  either in my publications or in the projects I manage.
In addition, I support the use of verification tools to track the authenticity of media, such as watermarking.
I believe it is also important to educate the audience to know how to identify these contents and encourage a more critical consumption, so that they do not fall into scams or confusion.

Q_How can companies use AI to improve efficiency without sacrificing human employment? 

A_Enterprises can use AI to automate repetitive tasks, allowing employees to focus on more strategic employees to focus on more strategic and creative work. Instead of replacing jobs, AI can jobs, AI can complement human work, such as in customer service, where AI handles simple queries and employees  handle complex cases. This not only
improves efficiency, but also creates new job opportunities in areas such as data analytics and AI development.

Q_How can we prepare society for the possibility that AI will evolve beyond our control and what can be done to stop it from advancing exponentially as some entrepreneurs like Elon Musk predict?

A_To prepare ourselves for the possibility that AI will evolve faster than we can control, I think the first thing to do is to educate control, I think the first thing to do is to educate society about how it works and the risks it could bring.
Personally, I think it is essential that from a young age we learn about AI ethics and how it can influence our lives. In addition, I am convinced that governments and companies must work together to create clear regulations to guide its responsible development.
Although some, like Elon Musk, are warning us of a future of exponential advances, I believe the key is for governments and companies to work together to create clear regulations to guide its responsible development. I believe the key is for experts to continue to research ways to make AI safe.
My view is that, if we maintain a transparent, ethical and collaborative approach,
we can reap the benefits of AI without being overwhelmed.

The Papanoelada Motera will leave Navia at 4 pm on Saturday afternoon.

The novelties of this year 2024 regarding safety on the route is that no candy that can hurt any child can be thrown, also avoiding that they can go down to the shoulder to pick them up. Also the left lane will be left free for emergencies.

However, it will be possible to visit the papanoelada biker stationary on the morning of the 21st between 10:00 am and 15:45 pm and attend the distribution of candy and sweets. It will be parked in Pedra Seixa street in Navia.

MONA

Galician art is once again exhibited in Vigo. In its VI edition, this MONA art, design and illustration market brings together different creators from various branches every day, including illustration, ceramics, watercolor, botany, stickers, manga, screen printing, jewelry, clothing, acrylic painting, prints, etc.

Plastic artist and graphic designer Larissa Lyra, director of the event, believes that "art should be accessible to everyone, not just limited to galleries or museums."

It is held at the A Póla bar, P.º de Alfonso XII, 7, 36202 Vigo. From 4:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. From December 13 to 15.

 

On December 13, 14 and 15, The "Jaleo Village" vintage market arrives in Vigo.

This weekend at the Muta room, on Joaquín Loriga Street, 9 in Vigo. From 11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.

The vintage market has free entry. Entering in shifts of 30 minutes or with a ticket of €50, which means 2 more people enter and gives the right to wear five items of clothing. You can also get a ticket that allows you to arrive one hour before the official time (at 10 a.m.).

 

 

Galicia, different time zone?

Until 1940 the country shared the same time zone as Portugal. Franco decided that Spain should flow with Nazi Germany and instead of Greenwich Mean Time, which is the one that corresponds to it geographically as well as Portugal or the Canary Islands, it should be modified.

This dictator also decided to bring to Spain the Bourbons, of French origin, who, while waiting for the next popular referendum, will decide whether Spain will be republican again or not, as in the municipal elections of April 1931, taken as a plebiscite between monarchy or republic and that made Alfonso XIII leave Spain.

The geographical location of Galicia, whose time zone is more aligned with Madeira or the Canary Islands, Portugal can be changed as Spain or maybe as Portugal independently because here it gets dark later than in other areas of Spain.

The calendar of winter and summer time changes according to Article 5 of Royal Decree 236/2002 must be updated every five years in the BOE which corresponds to the next year 2026.
