Por ti - Quebrar tabus: como é que o bem-estar mental é impactado na menopausa

A menopausa é uma fase natural da vida, mas continua a ser muitas vezes vivida em silêncio, com dúvidas, estigmas e falta de informação. Neste episódio da terceira temporada do podcast Por ti, exploramos o impacto que esta transição pode ter no bem-estar mental, no equilíbrio emocional e na forma como as mulheres experienciam o seu dia a dia. Num diálogo honesto e sem preconceitos, falamos sobre sintomas frequentemente invisíveis, desafios ainda pouco discutidos e a importância de criar espaços seguros para partilhar experiências, aumentar a literacia sobre o tema e promover uma maior compreensão, dentro e fora do local de trabalho.

Can AI Transform the Global Economy? | Topical Thoughts

In this episode, Zurich's Head of Macroeconomics Charlotta Groth, Head of Market Strategies Puneet Sharma and Chief Market Strategist & Economist Guy Miller discuss key findings from their latest Topical Thoughts paper, "The AI revolution: a snapshot in time." Together, they explore whether the trillions being invested in AI today can translate into stronger productivity, sustainable economic growth and attractive opportunities for investors. With hyperscalers such as Amazon, Alphabet, Meta and Microsoft leading a wave of unprecedented spending, the debate is shifting from AI adoption to AI impact. Can artificial intelligence accelerate scientific discovery, reshape industries and unlock a new era of economic growth, or will the benefits fall short of the investment? The key question is no longer whether AI will be adopted, but whether it can transform the way businesses, economies and societies operate.
