Approach to global regulations around AI
Regulation of artificial intelligence (AI) varies significantly globally, reflecting different approaches and priorities. These trends underscore the need to balance technological innovation with rights protection and security. The purpose of this article is to examine the main trends and challenges in the regulation of AI, with a comprehensive view of how the governments of the European Union, China and the United States address this complex and crucial issue due to their involvement as great government powers. . at the economic and social pyolytic level. The study was based on a bibliographic review whose search was intentional towards publications from journals indexed in electronic databases such as Scopus, Web of Science and Google Scholar. The findings demonstrate that the European Union has established a comprehensive framework with the AI Law, imposing specific restrictions and requiring transparency to establish a global standard similar to the GDPR. China, for its part, is transitioning from a fragmented approach to more unified regulation.

The Role of Mulching in Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Enhancing Soil Health Among Smallholder Farmers in Zambia, Malawi, Kenya, and Tanzania: An AI-Driven Approach
Mulching is a widely recognized conservation practice that improves soil moisture retention, enhances fertility, and reduces greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This study explores the effectiveness of mulching among smallholder farmers in Zambia, Malawi, Kenya, and Tanzania, focusing on its role in mitigating climate change and improving soil health. Additionally, we integrate artificial intelligence (AI) to optimize mulching practices through predictive analytics and real-time monitoring. AI-powered models, utilizing remote sensing data and machine learning algorithms, assess soil conditions, moisture levels, and carbon sequestration potential. These insights enable precision agriculture techniques, helping farmers make data-driven decisions that maximize mulching benefits while minimizing environmental impact. The study also evaluates AI-driven mobile applications and advisory systems that provide tailored recommendations based on localized climate and soil data. By leveraging AI technology, this research aims to enhance the sustainability of mulching practices, improve productivity, and contribute to climate resilience in smallholder farming systems
Role of Artificial Intelligence in Disseminating Climate Information Services in Africa
Climate Information Services (CIS) are critical for enabling communities in Africa to make informed decisions in the face of climate variability and change. However, the dissemination of CIS in Africa faces significant challenges, including limited access to data, inadequate infrastructure, and language and cultural barriers. This paper explores the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in enhancing the dissemination of CIS across the continent. AI technologies, including machine learning, natural language processing (NLP), and big data analytics, offer promising solutions to these challenges by improving data collection, processing, and communication.
