In Paris, you have video surveillance cameras almost everywhere, but we are not allowed to have artificial intelligence. At the heart of the debate is algorithmic video surveillance (AVS), also called augmented video surveillance, which relies on artificial intelligence software capable of analyzing images from the cameras. "In Paris, you have video surveillance cameras almost everywhere, but we are not allowed to have artificial intelligence," laments Frédéric Péchenard, the LR vice-president of the Île-de-France region, speaking to FranceInfo. #Vidéosurveillance #IntelligenceArtificielle #SécuritéPublique (translated)

DRIVER Tout-Kin estimated that the man he was referring to should not have taken up arms against his country. He pointed out the differences between the war of 1997 and that of 2026, notably the use of drones, WhatsApp, and digital tools, and wondered if this man, who was 25 years old in 1997, could keep up with 18-year-old fighters today. He stated that the current power was legitimate until 2028, if not beyond, and called for support for President Félix Tshisekedi and the official institutions, rather than private arrangements. He said he did not support the war, as he wanted to invest and prepare for his wedding in December. He finally prayed for the protection of the DRC and the president, so that the latter might find solutions to the crisis. #RDC #paix #guerre (translated)

"Thanks to software I requested a year ago, we were able, at the beginning of this year – it is the first time we are deploying it – to identify the establishments that I would qualify as being in very problematic situations. There are 114 high schools that I would say are red, and 400 that are orange." To try to address the high school crisis, the Minister of National Education Edouard Geffray announced on Thursday, October 8, that 3,000 substitute teachers would be deployed in the establishments where the situation demands it. #ÉducationNationale #Lycéens #ProfesseursRemplaçants (translated)

David Lisnard questioned the possibility that 3,000 employees could be paid without having tasks to accomplish and stay at home, following an announcement from the Minister of Education. He criticized the fact that, according to him, a heavily indebted state that continues to tax increasingly more on income, investments, and savings has not concerned itself with the situation. He also reported that the government attributed it to a problem with software and human resources. Lisnard presented this episode as another illustration of the degradation of central administration. However, he believed it could also foster optimism about the country's ability to bounce back once the executive is directed, and he affirmed that his observations and proposals to restore order to the state were reinforced. #Économie #Gouvernement #État (translated)

Guillaume Herblot criticized the Minister of Education, Édouard Geffray, for leaving classes without a teacher for weeks while, according to him, 3,000 substitute teachers were available but not assigned to students. He stated that these teachers, already trained and paid, had only been mobilized after protests and blockades. Herblot also criticized the management of assignments and the use of software that Geffray supposedly requested a year earlier. He mentioned that the minister had referred to 114 high schools classified in red and 400 in orange, as well as reinforcements "in the coming hours and days." The author contrasted this announcement with the elimination of positions and the departure of contract workers that he had denounced, and described the officials as amateurs. #Éducation #PénurieDeProfesseurs #GestionDeCrise (translated)

After a new day of mobilization by high school students on Thursday, October 8, the Minister of National Education Édouard Geffray announced on TF1 that 3,000 teachers will be assigned to institutions deemed "problematic" due to the lack of teachers. #Éducation #Lycéens #Colère (translated)

Louis Boyard estimated that high school students and university students needed an additional 10 billion. He wrote that, under pressure, the minister announced on TF1 "a few tens of millions" and explained the absence of teacher replacements due to a lack of software. Boyard reproached the minister for not addressing, in his view, the state of the buildings, overloaded schedules, Parcoursup, the lack of career counselors, nurses, and psychologists, as well as student precariousness. He deemed his response insufficient and called for mobilization on Tuesday. #Education #Mobilisation #Etudiants (translated)

Tear Off reported that the FIA had attributed the loss of power of several cars during the formation lap before the Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia to an unprecedented combination of low engine revs, reduced grip, rain-adjusted energy management parameters, and the configuration of the sectors of the Sepang circuit. According to the statement relayed by Tear Off, the FIA's technical department had removed energy restrictions in the affected sectors through a software update sent to all competitors during the delay of the start due to heavy rain. This allowed teams to modify their power units before the race. The issue had not been detected by either the FIA or the teams during testing or the grid formation laps, and an analysis was to be conducted with the teams and engine manufacturers. #F1 #BahrainGP #F1 #Bahreïn #Courseauto (translated)
