Five More Deepnews Newsletters
to Cover the Post-COVID World
<https://mondaynote.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?u=67f83ff97a099ecc6627cd74a&id=4d60824c0a&e=241ccdf34a>
Deepnews.ai
will now publish 15 in-depth newsletters powered by its proprietary
algorithm. Here is how we selected the five new topics we are launching
this week.

Unfortunately, we are not done with the COVID-19 pandemic. In the United
States and some other countries, infection rates are picking up, albeit
with less lethality. This is mostly due to the demographics of the newly
infected: mostly young and therefore more resistant people. But with
spreading infection they put the most vulnerable segment at a greater risk.

The current situation reflects the direst predictions: the virus is here to
stay, the prospect of a V-shape recovery seems more remote than ever, the
subsequent economic crisis will increase inequalities in most areas and
will dramatically alter the way we live in many ways.

As a tech and media company, Deepnews.ai couldn’t ignore this long-term
trend. Our initial roadmap was to broaden the sectors we cover with our
proprietary technology: we “read” tens of thousands of articles each week
to spotlight the best ones, in terms of editorial depth, diversity of
sources, writing qualities. This is a long-term endeavor.

We originally intended to roll out about 30newsletters a year to cover an
area that was wide but consistent with our focus on forward-looking topics,
things bubbling up at the cutting edge of technology and tracking the
evolution of the society. Hence our first two batches of newsletters:

)

Of course, we intend to continue on that route. Over time, we will increase
the number of sectors we follow, or we will further segment some we are
already addressing (like mobility for instance). In the meantime, we will
rework the underlying deep learning model that powers the platform (our
current technology is described here
<https://mondaynote.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?u=67f83ff97a099ecc6627cd74a&id=040d902e0d&e=241ccdf34a>).
Our new chief technology officer Girish Gupta
<https://mondaynote.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?u=67f83ff97a099ecc6627cd74a&id=7a49260c6c&e=241ccdf34a>
will most likely decide to break down our AI system with multiple layers of
more specialized neural networks aimed at increasing the accuracy of the
platform, creating different versions to process a wider range of topics in
more nuanced ways, and eventually making our platform available in various
languages (French is already underway).

To decide what topics to address, we probed our readers (both Deepnews.ai
and the Monday Note). We translated the emerging trends of the survey into
the following themes we are unveiling this week:

*Economic Recovery*
<https://mondaynote.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?u=67f83ff97a099ecc6627cd74a&id=03473bf38b&e=241ccdf34a>
will be published every Monday, in addition to Green Energy
<https://mondaynote.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?u=67f83ff97a099ecc6627cd74a&id=3eab47a556&e=241ccdf34a>
and Over the Moon
<https://mondaynote.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?u=67f83ff97a099ecc6627cd74a&id=9224fc9cdc&e=241ccdf34a>
(about the new space race). This newsletter is about the conditions of the
post-COVID recovery, how fast, how sustainable it will be. At a macro and
micro level, we will gather a global panorama of the new economic world
unfolding.

*Education*
<https://mondaynote.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?u=67f83ff97a099ecc6627cd74a&id=5587bc6697&e=241ccdf34a>
will be published every Tuesday, in addition to Gig Economy
<https://mondaynote.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?u=67f83ff97a099ecc6627cd74a&id=25da703efb&e=241ccdf34a>
and Future of Food
<https://mondaynote.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?u=67f83ff97a099ecc6627cd74a&id=001530c151&e=241ccdf34a>.
Most of the jobs that will be common ten years from now don’t even exist
today. Life-long learning will be mandatory. Furthermore, online teaching
might become the norm in most colleges and universities for the next
academic year, impacting drastically the business model of higher
education. Already, a large majority of students say they won’t pay
full-tuition anymore. Numerous universities will simply go out of business
as most institutions will engage in massive cost-cutting programs. At the
same time, as nature abhors a vacuum, new opportunities will emerge for
startups, with new tools, to provide lightweight forms of education with
more actionable and adaptable forms of training.

*Cities*
<https://mondaynote.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?u=67f83ff97a099ecc6627cd74a&id=943dcf32f6&e=241ccdf34a>.
Published on Wednesday along with Matter of Facts
<https://mondaynote.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?u=67f83ff97a099ecc6627cd74a&id=33c820bc68&e=241ccdf34a>
and Future of Medicine
<https://mondaynote.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?u=67f83ff97a099ecc6627cd74a&id=6b418699fc&e=241ccdf34a>,
this newsletter will address the morphing of metropolises in a
pandemic-threatened world: the evolution of housing, the challenge of
public transportation (how to counter the big comeback of the individual
car), urban planning and new sustainable architecture. The ability of
cities to recover from all sorts of crises (dotcom crash, financial
meltdown, stock market hiccups), is no longer a certainty. With less than 3
percent of the US population, New York suffered nearly 20 percent of the US
deaths related to the pandemic. In San Francisco, only a third of tech
workers went back to work last month, while others intend to continue
working from home indefinitely. This will alter the way cities are built
and managed.

*Travel*
<https://mondaynote.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?u=67f83ff97a099ecc6627cd74a&id=fec8f6e8a0&e=241ccdf34a>.
Published on Thursday, along with Women in Tech
<https://mondaynote.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?u=67f83ff97a099ecc6627cd74a&id=82270b0afb&e=241ccdf34a>and
Face Value
<https://mondaynote.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?u=67f83ff97a099ecc6627cd74a&id=1ff9c1c937&e=241ccdf34a>
(about facial recognition technologies). The pandemic has been brutal for
the travel and hospitality industry, a sector that accounted for 10.4
percent of the total global GDP in 2019. Air travel won’t return to normal
before 2023, experts say. Some research suggests that only a fraction of
airlines will survive. Right now, carriers are struggling to devise
efficient ways to create contamination-free travel. At the local level,
eco-tourism is thriving. The more remote the location, the better. Our
Travel newsletter will explore the change in the way we move and the
socio-economic impact.

*Gen-Z to Boomers*
<https://mondaynote.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?u=67f83ff97a099ecc6627cd74a&id=7fe039b9da&e=241ccdf34a>.
Published on Friday, along with Regulating Big Tech
<https://mondaynote.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?u=67f83ff97a099ecc6627cd74a&id=9665d585d2&e=241ccdf34a>
and Free Wheeling
<https://mondaynote.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?u=67f83ff97a099ecc6627cd74a&id=029b7fbcec&e=241ccdf34a>
(about autonomous vehicles), this newsletter will explore the growing
divides as well as the similarities between Generation Z, Millennials, and
other age groups such as Baby Boomers and the Gen-X crowd. Gen-Z, born
between 1996 and 2010, are the offsprings of the great recession, the rise
of social networks, the refugee crisis, the rise of populism, climate
change, and of course the pandemic of 2020. They are a particular focus as
they are just starting to decide what their impact on the world will be, as
are Millennials who may be particularly impacted by the economic fallout of
COVID. However, the entire focus isn’t on the young, and this newsletter,
as often as possible based on hard statistics and evidence rather than
inter-generational conjecture, pulls in pieces that explore what all the
generational identities mean, or if they mean as much as we think.

This third batch of newsletters was also chosen to spotlight sources from
the long tail: the blogs, the small websites, written by specialists who do
not necessarily produce very often and are not affiliated with a particular
media outlet. This is actually one of the most difficult parts of our work,
though something that makes the type of service we offer different and one
of the parts we most enjoy. It requires a great deal of research and
careful vetting of the source. To suggest a publication, please contact our
editorial team lead by Christopher Brennan at contact at deepnews.ai.
