Hiring Is Changing: Why Human Judgment Still Matters in the AI Era: ManpowerGroup

Source: World Economic Forum (video statements)

Hiring managers are struggling to find the talent they need, while job seekers face one of the toughest markets in recent memory. Jonas Prising, Chair and CEO of ManpowerGroup, explains what is driving these pressures—from the economic cycle and geopolitical shifts to major demographic changes.

He also examines AI’s growing role in hiring and recruiting. While technology can make the process faster, it does not necessarily make it more accurate. For Prising, human judgment remains essential to recognizing potential, assessing fit and making better hiring decisions.
• How cyclical economic shifts, not structural AI-driven changes, are shaping employer confidence

• How big demographic shifts could push employers to tap underutilized parts of the global workforce

• How AI can increase speed of hiring but not always its accuracy

• How Manpower uses AI in hiring and recruiting and what leaders can learn

Prising also discusses ManpowerGroup’s recent research on employment trends, the early boss that changed how he leads and his take on whether big predictions for the future will become a reality.

AI for trade in action:Intelligence in trade regulations

Source: World Trade Organization – WTO (video statements)

How can artificial intelligence reveal trade opportunities and reduce costs?

Kholofelo Kugler and Émilie Delattre from Besso explain how AI is helping businesses navigate complex trade regulations, identify tariff-saving opportunities, and make better use of free trade agreements (FTAs). They also discuss the importance of trust in AI, the role of human oversight, and the potential of digital technologies to support small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), particularly those in developing countries.

Learn how AI-driven solutions can contribute to more inclusive, efficient, and accessible global trade during the WTO’s first World Trade and Tech Day on 14 September.

Haiti: Nearly 200,000 Deported to Haiti in 2026 So Far- Briefing | United Nations

Source: United Nations (video statements)

Briefing by Indrika Ratwatte is the Acting Assistant Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Deputy Emergency Relief Coordinator (OCHA), on the question concerning Haiti.

Acting Assistant Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs Indrika Ratwatte told the Council that deportations to Haiti – from the United States, Dominican Republic and other countries – “continue at scale.”

Ratwatte said, “in the first eight months of 2026, we have seen almost 200,000 people forcibly returned, a 10 percent increase compared with the same period last year. Many arrive without resources, documentation or support networks, and some have especially urgent protection needs, including survivors of sexual violence, pregnant and lactating women, people with disabilities, and unaccompanied and separated children.”

Haiti Kenscof massacre: 47 Killed, Dozens Abducted – Briefing | United Nations

Source: United Nations (video statements)

The Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Haiti, Carlos Ruiz Massieu, today (28 Aug) told the Security Council that the Kenscof massacre, on the night of 23 to 24 August “is deeply shocking but is not an isolated tragedy.”

Ruiz Massieu said this was “another appalling atrocity inflicted upon the Haitian population,” and described the “brutal attack” against the commune in the hills overlooking Port-au-Prince.

He said the assault “claimed the lives of at least 47 persons, including three boys and two girls, left dozens abducted and many others injured, and caused further displaced and suffering,” and added that “homes were also set ablaze and local population seeking refuge from the violence were attacked, including in a church where gang members executed people in the courtyard and killed others as they attempted to escape.”

Ruiz Massieu, who is also the Head of the United Nations Integrated Office in Haiti (BINUH), said this was “the latest in a series of attacks affecting the commune of Kenscof since early 2025 and demonstrates the continued capacity and determination of gangs to terrorize the population, expand their influence beyond the capital, and pose a direct challenge to state authority.”

National security institutions, he said, “cannot be left to confront this threat without adequate support,” and noted that the international Gang Suppression Force (GSF) “represents clearly a critical component of the international response authorized by this Council.”

The Special Representative called for a “swift and full deployment” of the GSF, and said, “sustained cooperation and coordination among national authorities and with the GSF will remain essential to address insecurity, protect communities and restore confidence among Haitians.”

He said, “these security efforts must be accompanied by measures to restore state authority, basic services, and economic and social activity in affected communities,” and stressed that “this requires a coherent approach linking security operations with stabilization and recovery, community violence reduction, the reopening of schools and health facilities, and livelihood opportunities.”

Ruiz Massieu also called for “credible pathways for disengagement from gangs, particularly for children and young people recruited and exploited by gangs.”

Switzerland’s Solar Railway & Closing Women’s Health Gap | WEF | Stories of the Week

Source: World Economic Forum (video statements)

This week’s top stories of the week include:

00:15 – Switzerland’s solar railway:
Swiss company Sun-Ways lays #solar panels in the space between train tracks. If rolled out across Switzerland’s entire 5,200km rail network, Sun-Ways says, these panels could supply a percentage of the country’s electricity, without leaving any visual or environmental footprint. Here’s how it works.

01:39 – Beaming sunlight at night:
A company is developing satellites with ‘giant mirrors’ designed to reflect sunlight back to specific locations on Earth after dark. Reflect Orbital says the technology could support solar farms, emergency response and agriculture. But reflecting sunlight into the night sky could also affect astronomy, wildlife, aviation and access to naturally dark skies.

04:05 – Zen in the workplace:
Kacha ‘Shogun’ Mahadumrongkul has been a #Zen monk three times. Now, through his Zenful Institute, he brings its lessons into corporate life. Talking to the World Economic Forum’s #MeetTheLeader podcast, he discussed the workplace benefits of #mindfulness, of pausing before you act, and of aligning yourself – and your business endeavours – with your own deepest values.

05:49 – Closing women’s health gap:
Just 6% of private #healthcare funding goes towards women’s health, and across multiple diseases affecting both sexes, only 3% of studies look at how those diseases affect women. As a result, women are diagnosed late for more than 700 conditions – and spend 25% more of their lives in poorer health than men, a study by the World Economic Forum and McKinsey found.

Improving maritime security in the #redsea

Source: United Nations (video statements)

Maritime security in the Strait of Hormuz is under threat, risking global trade lanes, as attacks on freedom of navigation are destabilizing the Bab el-Mandab Strait and the Gulf of Aden.
The 5th Regional Maritime Law Enforcement Dialogue for the Red Sea area met in Nairobi, Kenya, in a context of increased maritime security concerns.
Organized by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), the Dialogue brought together maritime security and law enforcement authorities from Somalia, Ethiopia, Djibouti and Yemen to ensure better coordination amongst Member States, as well as better information sharing, in order to enhance maritime security around the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.
