Amazon Receives a Perfect Score of 100 on The Disability Equality Index For The Second Year in a Row

The Disability Equality Index (DEI) is a comprehensive benchmarking tool that assists businesses in developing a roadmap of measurable, actionable steps to achieve disability inclusion and equality. On a scale of zero (0) to 100, each employer earns a score, with those scoring 80 or higher recognised as a "Best Place to Work for Disability Inclusion."

Amazon receives a perfect score of 100 on the Disability Equality Index for The Second Year in a Row

Amazon Official: A group of Amazon employees after collecting the honor for our top score of 100 on the Disability Equality Index at the Disability: IN's 2023 Global Conference & Expo.


The Disability Equality Initiative (DEI) is a collaborative effort between the American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD), the nation's biggest disability rights organisation, and Disability: IN, the worldwide business disability inclusion network, to enhance the inclusion of people with disabilities. The organisations complement each other and add unique qualities to the initiative, making it relevant and credible to corporations and the disabled community. The DEI Advisory Committee, a broad coalition of corporate leaders, policy experts, and disability advocates, created the tool.

Amazon wants to be the most inclusive and accessible employer for persons with disabilities on the planet. Amazon's Global Disability Inclusion Office is fascinated with the employee experience, which is in our DNA. Disability: IN's Disability Equality Index motivates us to improve our work month after month.

Japan & UAE Have Agreed to Broaden The Scope of Their Current Technology Relationship.

According to a statement issued by Japan's foreign ministry, the countries discussed five areas of cooperation during Prime Minister Fumio Kishida's visit to the UAE. Green economy; trade; diplomacy and security; culture, education, science and technology; and international and regional affairs are among the topics covered.

In the field of technology, the UAE made a promise to invest in Japan's semiconductor industry through two frameworks, expanding on a scheme focusing on advanced technology signed by the two earlier this year.

Furthermore, the governments agreed that the UAE will provide financial support to Japan in order to enhance its battery ecosystem.

There are plans for the two countries to enhance their cooperation in space technology, artificial intelligence, and the circular economy.

Japan emphasised the pair's goal of leading climate action in the international community ahead of the UN's COP28, which will be held at the end of this year.



Jaguar, IBM, & GSMA all advocate for linked vehicle driving.

The IBM Institute for Business Value (IBV) identified data management as one of the most significant difficulties that operators, OEMs, and regulatory agencies will confront as vehicles become more autonomous, forecasting a boom in associated data.

According to research undertaken jointly by the company, industry association the GSMA, and vehicle manufacturer Jaguar Land Rover, the volume of data sent across telecom networks by the connected car sector will increase over the next two years.

According to Siemens research, if 20% of the world's 1.5 billion cars become highly autonomous, it would generate approximately 300 zettabytes of data.

According to Counterpoint Research, connected auto sales topped disconnected models for the first time in 2022, and a CAGR of roughly 17% is expected until 2027 for a total of 367 million vehicles.


Artificial Intelligence

  • According to the organisation, generative AI could be the key to unlocking totally autonomous vehicles by using algorithms to generate fresh content for virtual environments and simulating real-world scenarios for training purposes.

  • Vehicles could also include a generative AI interface, allowing drivers to interact in natural language rather than predefined orders.

  • Non-terrestrial networks are highlighted as a critical component of the connectivity puzzle, offering coverage in locations that ground-based networks cannot reach, while the firms cautioned that this may cost car manufacturers and users more.

  • Hyperscalers with competence in delivering and protecting cloud, IoT, and edge computing could also play an important role in developing new vehicle connectivity services.

The panel observed that industry organisations and governments appear to be on the same page regarding the cellular V2X communication protocol. The GSMA is collaborating with operators, OEMs, and regulatory organisations to create a unified approach to security, regulatory, and infrastructure platforms.


Energy

According to IBM et al, "Data is the new fuel powering modern cars, and networks are the pipelines," but they also underlined the need for increased coverage, data authentication, and cooperation to keep up with the growing number of connected vehicles.

For car connections with other vehicles, pedestrians, traffic systems, and IoT devices, network performance, cybersecurity, and data reliability are becoming safety imperatives.

According to the group, telecommunications service providers have a clear duty to provide high-bandwidth, low-latency, dependable, and secure connectivity services to enable many of the services.

According to Juniper Research, the operator opportunity for 5 G-connected automobiles alone is $3.6 billion.

In addition to operators, vehicle manufacturers, governments, industry associations, intelligent traffic system developers, and cloud providers must work together to create an ecosystem that will allow the sector to thrive.
