Source: European Central Bank (video statements)
Artificial intelligence in the analysis of economic narratives, forecasting, and risk assessment.
This biennial conference provides a forum for new theoretical and applied work on forecasting with an aim to put new insights into practice. Under the title “Artificial intelligence in economic narratives, forecasting and risk assessments”, the forthcoming edition focuses on the use of AI algorithms for economic analysis, exploring how these methods are transforming the way economists understand and interpret economic phenomena.
As artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques rapidly evolve, they offer unprecedented opportunities to analyse complex economic relationships, detect patterns in high-dimensional data, and uncover structural dynamics that traditional methods may overlook. The conference aims to address both the potential and the challenges of AI-driven economic analysis in an environment characterized by high economic, financial, and political risks. One session of the conference is co-organized with the Financial Transactions "Big Data" Global Research Network (FTGRN).

Why is the United Nations in New York City? The Untold Story | United Nations
Source: United Nations (video statements)
In the aftermath of World War II, the search for a permanent UN headquarters became one of the most high-profile decisions of the era – involving world leaders, city officials, and influential figures including US President Harry S. Truman, the Rockefeller family and New York City mayor William O’Dwyer.
Before the iconic Headquarters was built, the UN operated out of a series of temporary locations across New York – including Hunter College (now Lehman College), where the first Security Council meeting took place in March 1946, and Parkway Village in Queens, a pioneering residential community that housed many UN delegates and staff.
Through rare archival footage, historic photography, and expert interviews, this film traces the early years of the UN in New York (1945–1952) and explores the deep political, cultural, and economic ties between the Organization and its host city.
As the UN marks 80 years since its first meetings in New York, this story sheds light on a defining moment in both global diplomacy and the city’s history.

Chris McNickle, New York City historian
