The Milan Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics opening ceremony will be designed around the idea of armonia, or harmony, which organizers say represents both movement in sports and a sense of inclusion as athletes and spectators from around the world gather for the Games, according to Time. Marco Balich, who is producing the opening ceremony, described the inspiration for the theme as a type of convergence: between the two host cities, Milan and Cortina, city and mountain, the harmony between man and nature, between cultures, people and different ways of thinking. The Dolomite ski resort of Cortina hosted the Winter Olympics in 1956.
In other news, the increasing number of submissions to top artificial intelligence conferences has created challenges for researchers. According to Nature News, some events have seen submissions increase more than tenfold in the past decade.
