AI can write, code and help create almost anything – except the things people actually need to survive. Food. Water. Medicine. A safe place to learn. That still takes humans – often working in the most dangerous places on earth. And it takes resources.

Hankens biträdande professor Maria Ehrnström-Fuentes säger i en intervju till Yle att det inte är en miljögärning att köpa begagnat, och det löser inte klimatkrisen. "Att vi kan sälja secondhand visar på att vi har ett överutbud av varor som vi har köpt." Läs mer 👇 yle.fi/a/7-10088717

Många kan tänka sig begagnat under granen: ”Vi har bestämt att vi kör secondhand i år”

Över 80 procent av finländarna skulle gärna få en begagnad julklapp, men den verkar vara svårare att ge.

Yhdysvalloissa ajetaan tiedettä alas ja seuraukset näkyvät kaikkialla. Valta-asema siirtyy Kiinalle, kyllä, mutta kyse ei ole vain suurvaltojen kisasta. Koko maailman tutkimusyhteistyö kärsii ja tieteen kehitys hidastuu. Tämä on myös Suomen ongelma. Tiede ei tunne rajoja.
