The renovation of Barranquilla's Estadio Metropolitano Roberto Meléndez will include a video surveillance system with more than 300 latest-generation cameras, including 61-megapixel units that, according to the District, no other stadium in Colombia has. The system features a processor with generative artificial intelligence that runs locally, allows commands in natural language, distinguishes between people and vehicles and creates virtual fences. The project also includes connectivity with 4G and 5G antennas and internet channels with 2.5-gigabit backups.

Marta Lucía Ramírez: "Unpredictable leaders fill a space that politicians have not filled"
Former Colombian Vice President Marta Lucía Ramírez took part in the 16th Abeceb Forum in Buenos Aires alongside former Spanish President Mariano Rajoy, where she attributed the rise of populist and unpredictable leaders to the space left open by the political class. She cited World Economic Forum data showing that only 40% of citizens in OECD countries trust their governments, and warned about the risks of artificial intelligence for institutions. Rajoy, for his part, defended regulating digital platforms.

AI still cannot develop effective vaccines or drugs on its own
Artificial intelligence has made progress in protein analysis and molecule design, but it has not yet shown it can develop effective drugs autonomously. Vertex Pharmaceuticals tested about 50 AI-specialized companies to analyze some 10,000 compounds and none of the proposals became a viable drug. Tools such as Google DeepMind's AlphaFold and companies like Insilico Medicine, Recursion Pharmaceuticals and Isomorphic Labs aim to cut timelines and costs, while scientists argue AI should complement, not replace, clinical experimentation.

Attacks on connected refrigerators hit blood banks in France and supermarkets across Europe
Three sites of the Établissement Français du Sang (EFS) that handle blood and plasma bags were briefly affected by attacks on internet-connected refrigerators: on November 2, cold rooms were "raised to very high temperatures," though the samples were not altered or damaged thanks to alarms and fail-safe measures. The incidents coincide with a wave of cyberattacks on supermarket chains in at least 11 European countries, with food discarded, and with earlier cases at US military bases.
