Est-ce que ChatGPT, DALL-E et Midjourney vous dit quelque chose? Ces plates-formes sont quelques exemples parmi de nombreux nouveaux logiciels d'intelligence artificielle qui voient le jour actuellement. Durant ces dernières années, l'IA a été au centre de nombreux débats et discussions, notamment dans le monde académique. Alors que l'IA commence à faire partie de nos vies professionnelles et personnelles, il est important de discuter des enjeux et risques liés à l'explosion de ces technologies et comment et pourquoi les réguler.

Historically, most recessions have been described as being "he-cessions"; most jobs lost were male dominated industries, and the women led sectors shortly followed.When the Covid-19 pandemic started, women's employment was hit especially hard by the economic slow down that followed, causing some to call it a "she-cession." But what exactly does the term mean, why did it happen, and what does it tell us about the future of our economy? For this Big Thinking Podcast episode, our host Gabriel Miller is joined by Armine Yalnizyan, the Canadian economist and writer who helped coin the term to discuss the she-cession and the broader impacts of economics crises on women.
