What makes us irreplaceably human? Bumper stickers:
Deep expertise to challenge when AI's wrong
Empathy to build human connection
Moral compass to ask should we? with purpose
The future isn't resisting or embracing AI blindly, it's staying human while leveraging its power

Antimicrobial resistance is a huge issue and an oft-forgotten killer. It kills more people each year than HIV/AIDS or malaria.
This article is fascinating- it points out that while much of the AMR prevention discussion focuses on overuse of antimicrobials, underuse can also be a major issue.
