Israel has signaled for days that it is preparing a ground invasion of the south, where it says Hamas fighters and commanders are hiding. The Israeli military said that its ground troops and air force “continued to operate across the Gaza Strip,” but did not offer details about the location of its operations.

Israel again told civilians to leave parts of Khan Younis, the area’s largest city, and head farther south including to Rafah, on the Egyptian border.

A video surfaced, taken two weeks ago, in which Al Jaber says there is “no science” behind the idea that fossil fuels must be phased out in order to keep average global temperatures from rising by more than 1.5 degrees Celsius over preindustrial levels. That’s the threshold beyond which scientists say humans would struggle to adapt to the climate. Al Jaber suggested yesterday that he had not said what he can be heard saying on the video, and he indicated that anyone who claimed otherwise was trying to undermine his leadership of COP28. The comment, and the backlash, highlight the dilemma of hosting the climate summit in one of the world’s leading oil producers.

The question of whether artificial intelligence will elevate the world or destroy it has framed debate among Silicon Valley founders, academics and regulators about whether the technology should be controlled or set free. That debate has pitted some of the world’s richest men against one another, including Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Satya Nadella of Microsoft and Sam Altman of OpenAI. All have fought for a piece of the business and the power to shape it. In the first article in a series about modern artificial intelligence, The Times explored the paradox at the heart of the A.I. competition. The people who say they are most worried about A.I. are among the most determined to create it and enjoy its riches.
