Migration roots: the broken asylum system

This episode of The Intelligence from The Economist covers three distinct topics: the global asylum system, the shifting job market for coders due to AI, and a unique theatrical performance in London. The discussion on asylum features an interview with Robert Guest, who highlights the flaws in the current system and suggests separating asylum claims from labor migration. The segment on coders explores the increasing demand for AI specialists alongside layoffs for general programmers, with companies focusing on productivity gains through AI. Finally, the episode examines a London theater production of Evita, where the lead actress performs a song from a balcony to engage with the public, reflecting modern stardom and accessibility in theater.
