Ex-Tory Lawmaker: UK’s RAF Should Recruit the Best Irrespective of Sex & Ethnicity_我的网站

A |     "I think a lot of people have been very surprised, not least in the Armed Forces themselves have been very surprised to hear that there has been a particularly strong positive discrimination in favour of ethnic minorities in the Royal Air Force," Matthew Gordon-Banks, a former Tory lawmaker and retired senior research fellow at the UK’s Defence Academy, explained.,Gordon-Banks suggested that neither the UK Army nor the Royal Navy lack appropriate diversity: "We've seen considerable changes in recent years in our army and even those soldiers who guard the Queen on ceremonial duties ̶ we're seeing a wide range of ethnic minorities also serving, not just white faces," he said.,However, the RAF has possibly become the least attractive service given the fact that the UK has reduced its number of planes and ships, according to the former British lawmaker. He does not rule out that the RAF is "suffering from recruitment problems which have exacerbated the potential lack of diversity at the current time.",‘The Biggest F*** Up in the RAF': UK's Training of Fast Jet Pilots in Crisis, Leaked Docs Claim6 August, 11:14 GMT,Gordon-Banks went on to recall that the head of the British Armed Forces, Admiral Sir Tony Radakin, "made clear that he wanted the Royal Air Force chiefs to make diversity a priority” in his very first speech as the combined head of the Army, Royal Navy and Royal Air Force in December 2021.,"So that means, in my view, that the combined head of our Armed Forces is the person who actually started this particular issue," Gordon-Banks claimed. "And the head of the Royal Air Force, Chief Marshal Sir Michael Wigston, subsequently committed to doubling the number of women to 40% in the RAF by 2030 and also having 20% ethnic minorities serving in our Air Force. And this seems to be a target which has been described as too far, too fast, and in pursuing it, it actually puts diversity targets ahead of ensuring what is best for our Armed Forces operational effectiveness.",Gordon-Banks emphasized that he would be the first to say that having a good ethnic minority and diverse mix in the Armed Forces which reflects the multicultural kind of country that the UK is, is a positive thing. However, it should not come at the expense of operational effectiveness, the former Tory politician noted.,The head of the RAF’s recruiting team – herself a senior female officer whose identity has not been disclosed – recently resigned "in disgust at what reports claim is the imposition of a de facto recruitment freeze on white men in favour of women and candidates from an ethnic minority background," according to the Daily Mail.,"The very idea that a female group captain, head of recruitment of the Royal Air Force, has felt it necessary to tender her resignation because she believes that operational effectiveness is being hindered by an alleged stopping of recruitment of white faced recruits in order to boost ethnic minority recruitment is clearly ridiculous, and that such a senior officer should feel it necessary to tender her resignation highlights a very serious issue, but it's an issue which is being created by the very head of our Combined Armed Forces, Admiral Tony Radakin himself," highlighted Gordon-Banks.,WorldRAF Recruitment Head Reportedly Resigns After Service Temporarily Stops Hiring White Men17 August, 05:57 GMT,"Then you look at the head of the RAF and he's prepared to break the operational requirement of the air force just to meet diversity [targets]," one source said, as quoted by Sky News. Sources within the British Armed Forces have argued that these diversity targets are "impossible.",Former Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak, a contender to become the UK's prime minister, has recently commented on the emerging controversy. "The only thing that should matter in recruitment is the content of your character, not your sex or the colour of your skin," a spokesperson for the Sunak campaign said. "That the Ministry of Defence would allow Britain's security to potentially be put at risk by a drive for so-called 'diversity' is not only disgraceful, it is dangerous.",For its part, the RAF disputed the allegations, insisting that there is no pause in RAF recruitment and no new policy with regards to meeting in-year recruitment requirements, according to Sky News.,"What we should be doing in the UK is ensuring that we are recruiting the best irrespective of ethnicity," Gordon-Banks concluded.。    　　北京8月24日电 (陈昊星)在AI时代，IPv6(互联网协议第6版)的重要性更加凸显。近日，在第五届互联网基础资源高质量发展会议上，中国工程院院士邬贺铨作题为《面向智能体的互联网基础资源》的主题演讲。他认为，面对AI和智能体兴起的考验，互联网基础资源技术创新正当时。8月24日，北京，中国工程院院士邬贺铨发表《面向智能体的互联网基础资源》主题演讲 受访者供图　　什么是互联网基础资源？是指直接服务互联网寻址、路由、域名解析、网络身份识别，需要全网互通、全网统一分配、全网唯一、不能冲突的数字资源，包括IP地址、AS自治系统号、域名、端口号和协议参数资源等，当前我们重点关注的，主要还是IP地址、域名等。　　在邬贺铨看来，建设适应智能体的域名与解析体系和进一步开发互联网基础资源能力非常重要。互联网基础资源的设置和衡量，需要综合考虑唯一性、公平性、安全性、便捷性和可扩展性等多重因素。　　在互联网基础资源的组织方式上，无论是中心化层级制还是去中心化的联盟制，都可以实现资源的全网唯一，两者各有优缺点。前者发展较为成熟，已有较完善的生态体系，并占据先发优势，但资源相对集中，在安全性和公平性方面仍存在进一步完善的空间。　　随着IPv6单栈加IPv4aaS的发展，互联网基础资源也面临新的需求，这同样意味着新的创新空间。互联网基础资源仍蕴藏着巨大的潜力，其功能有待进一步开发，以更好适应AI和智能体应用的发展。　　由于历史原因，中国在互联网基础资源获取方面通常处于相对被动的位置。因此，有必要更加重视构建全球互联网基础资源公平、合理分配的生态。　　面对AI和智能体兴起带来的新考验，互联网基础资源技术创新正当其时。这既是互联网基础资源能力进一步释放的重要契机，也是中国参与乃至有望引领互联网底层技术创新的一次难得机遇。
