UN Warns: Global Fertility Rates in ‘Unprecedented Decline’

The UN Population Fund (UNFPA) has issued a concerning warning: the world is experiencing an unprecedented drop in fertility rates, with more people unable to have the number of children they want. The issue is no longer slow demographic change—it’s now a global crisis driven by economic and social pressures. 1. What the Report Found A UNFPA survey of 14,000 people across 14 countries—including the U.S., India, Germany, Nigeria, and South Korea—revealed that 20% of respondents either haven’t had, or no longer expect to have, their desired number of children. Most still desire larger families, but face systemic barriers in achieving them. 2. Main Reasons: Money, Time & Anxiety 39% cited financial strain as the main barrier—58% in South Korea, only 19% in Sweden. Lack of time due to work and caregiving responsibilities also ranks high, impacting fertility decisions. Nearly […]

‘Godfather of AI’ Warns It’s Unsafe—Proposes Scientist AI to Rein It In

Yoshua Bengio—renowned as one of AI’s “godfathers” and a 2018 Turing Award winner—now issues a stark warning: modern AI has become “unsafe”, urging urgent intervention. His answer? A new nonprofit, LawZero, is developing Scientist AI to serve as a transparency-enhancing and safety-improving model. 1. From Deep Learning Pioneer to Safety Advocate Bengio—alongside Yann LeCun and Geoffrey Hinton—initially shaped the foundations of deep learning. In recent months, he's shifted focus to the era’s perils, citing irresponsible AI use, such as instructions for bomb-making generated by AI, as a warning sign for broader misuse. 2. Introducing Scientist AI Scientist AI is being built on three core safety-by-design pillars: • Confidence Scores: The model self-assesses how sure it is, reducing “hallucinations.”• Explainable Reasoning: It can detail its reasoning process—restoring transparency lost in today's fast-moving AI models.• World Model Integration: Embedded understanding of real-world dynamics […]

GRA Begins GH¢1 Fuel Levy on June 16 to Tackle Energy Sector Debt

Ghana’s Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) will enforce a GH¢1 per litre Energy Sector Shortfall and Debt Repayment Levy on petrol and diesel starting Monday, June 16, 2025, after delaying the initial June 9 rollout to allow more industry consultation. 1. Postponement After Stakeholder Pushback Originally scheduled for June 9, the launch was delayed after the Chamber of Oil Marketing Companies (COMAC) voiced concerns about the sudden announcement and inadequate consultation. In the spirit of “cordiality and partnership,” GRA and COMAC agreed on a new start date—June 16—giving marketers time to prepare systems and pricing adjustments. 2. What the Levy Covers Under the amended Energy Sector Levies Act (Act 1141), the levy doubles the previous ESLA rates—from approximately GH¢0.95/petrol and GH¢0.93/diesel to GH¢1.95 and GH¢1.93 per litre, respectively. Kerosene is exempt, while marine and heavy fuel oils will incur additional charges. LPG remains unchanged. 3. Why […]

GRNMA Open to Talks but Rules Out Renegotiating 2024 Collective Bargaining

The Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association (GRNMA) has reiterated its willingness to hold talks with government but firmly ruled out any renegotiation of the 2024 Conditions of Service (COS) agreement—signed earlier this year under proper legal and procedural frameworks. 1. Background of the 2024 COS Dispute The 2024 collective agreement was reached by GRNMA to improve nurses’ pay and working conditions. However, criticism arose when other nursing unions—like UPNMG and PAPNG—claimed GRNMA excluded them from negotiations.
