He also addressed dehumanization, the defense of life and a culture of peace.

Tesla to add extra Cybertruck shift before dismantling the line to expand Cybercab production
Tesla CEO Elon Musk said on X that the company will add an extra production shift to try to complete outstanding Cybertruck orders before dismantling the line around June or July next year to expand Cybercab production. A day earlier he had said Tesla would wind down Cybertruck production at its Texas factory and shift resources toward the Cybercab, a two-seat robotaxi. US Cybertruck sales fell to about 20,000 vehicles last year from nearly 39,000 in 2024, according to Kelley Blue Book.

Barranquilla's Metropolitano Stadium to debut more than 300 cameras with generative AI
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.

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.
