Panama's government under pressure

Navigating between transparency and accusations of corruption in the fight against the virus

After a consistent, transparent and unagitated course in the fight against the coronavirus, the government of President Laurentino "Nico" Cortizo is facing a rapid loss of confidence due to the irresponsible behaviour of members of the government. Until a few days ago, the severe restrictions on the freedom of movement and action that accompanied the drastic measures to combat the pandemic were supported by the vast majority of the Panamanian population without complaint. The government gambled away this broad consensus through questionable procurement projects bordering on audacity, which almost force the presumption of attempted corruption. At the centre of the accusations is José Gabriel "Gaby" Carrizo, Panama's vice president and head of the presidential ministry.

Issues for Future: Coping Ethically with AI in Europe

One of the main topics of European Union’s policies is to sustain Artificial Intelligence’s de-velopment under deontological and juridical rules. The new President of the European Commission, after presenting the Green New Deal on December 11th, 2019, specified only two months later that the goal of climate neutrality by 2050 is not achievable without AI (Ursula von der Leyen, Shaping Europe’s Digital Future, 19 February 2020). She strength-ened positively the technical and scientific presuppositions for the evolution of that sector in the EU which produces, for example, 25% of all industrial robots.
