With the onset of the building of the Aswan High Dam, Desroches-Noblecourt, then the acting chief curator of Egyptian Antiquities at the Louvre Museum, campaigned for salvaging these massive archeological treasures. Her pleas eventually reached UNESCO, former Egyptian Culture Minister Tharwat Okasha, and Kennedy. She pushed her famous husband to step in during a time when US-USSR relations were tense and anti-Nasser sentiment was at its height. Nevertheless, he successfully appealed to congress to earmark funds towards this mission, in turn, enabling the rest of the world to pitch in to support this venture. Desroches-Noblecourt\u2019s efforts ultimately led her to raise more than USD 80 mn \u2014 equivalent to USD 813 mn today \u2014 for the daunting task of moving the fragile temple out of the cliff in which it was carved and reassembling it on higher ground.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\">Are algorithms robbing us of autonomy? <\/span><span style=\"\">Software algorithms and AI increasingly dictate the<\/span><span> content we see, music we listen to, and tastes we acquire, giving this technology vast socio-political influence and power over our lives, psychologist and behavioral scientist Gerd Gigerenzer tells the <\/span><span style=\"text-decoration-skip-ink:none;-webkit-text-decoration-skip:none;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/algorithms-ai-humanity-psychology-ebf1364c?mod=tech_lead_pos5\" style=\"\">Wall Street Journal<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">.

The policies grant tech companies access to personal data, which are used to generate the personalized ads that underpin their revenue streams. In this context, he says, the user becomes the product rather than the customer. Gigerenzer hopes for a future in which users take responsibility for decisions pertaining to their personal data and are enabled to pay for registration so that they can assume their rightful place as customers.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lebanon, Jordan, and Egypt are MENA\u2019s least-happy countries<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":583982,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"single-feature.php","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"newspack_ads_suppress_ads":false,"newspack_popups_has_disabled_popups":false,"newspack_sponsor_sponsorship_scope":"","newspack_sponsor_native_byline_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_native_category_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_style":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_placement":"inherit","ep_exclude_from_search":false,"_primary_brand":0,"newspack_featured_image_position":"","newspack_post_subtitle":"","newspack_article_summary_title":"Overview:","newspack_article_summary":"","newspack_hide_updated_date":false,"newspack_show_updated_date":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7215],"tags":[7094,504,633,638,412,8360],"brand":[],"newspack_spnsrs_tax":[],"class_list":["post-583981","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-for-your-commute","tag-ai","tag-archaeology","tag-enterprisepm","tag-for-your-commute","tag-history","tag-psychology","wpautop","entry"],"acf":{"mongo_id":"b50167ee-1777-4d61-a9a9-480f30972c6e","is_powered_by":false,"story_type":"1","photo_url":"https:\/\/ent.news\/2022\/3\/awake-1600px.jpg","photo_position":"below","homepage_title":"","full_issue_title":"","related_issue":[583976],"teaser":"Lebanon, Jordan, and Egypt are MENA\u2019s least-happy countries","voice_url":"https:\/\/s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com\/ent.news\/audio\/2023\/3\/.64fa4f6e-500e-41d3-b7b9-2ee40c81b079.mp3"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.1 (Yoast SEO v27.1.1) -
