Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 16:37:52 GMT

The World Health Organization (WHO) has requested that Russia allow aid workers into territory seized from Ukraine in order to help people affected by the collapse of the Nova Kakhovka dam. In an interview with POLITICO, Hans Kluge, the director of the WHO’s Europe office, said the health authority is assisting flooded zones in Ukraine, sending people and equipment to help with disaster relief. Around 300 WHO health workers have been mobilized, along with medical kits to care for about 16,000 people. Twenty thousand cholera laboratory test kits have been sent to strengthen disease surveillance efforts.

The now-defunct Nova Kakhovka dam straddled the Dnipro River in Ukraine’s Kherson region, which is mainly under the control of Russian forces. The structure was critically damaged on June 6 and since then dramatic flooding has affe...

New York (CNN) — Over the past few years, restaurants from White Castle to Wendy’s have been investing in artificial intelligence tech for drive-thrus. They say it’s a way to ease the burden placed on overworked employees, and a solution to bogged down drive-thrus overwhelmed by a surge of customers.But customers — and workers — may not be thrilled with the technology.Frustrated customers have already documented cases of AI getting their orders wrong, and experts warn the noisy drive-thru is a challenging environment for the technology. And AI may swipe hours or even entire jobs away from fast-food workers.But restaurants are forging ahead, buoyed by the promise of higher sales and faster drive-thrus, whether we like it or not.A challenging environmentSome fast-food aficionados may not have noticed AI at their drive-thru lanes yet, but since about 2021 chains have been testing out AI tools like automated voice ordering, where an AI rather than a person takes...
