Daniel Noboa is Ecuador's next president, declaring victory on Sunday as the country's national electoral council said results pointed to an «irreversible» outcome and his rival conceded. Noboa was tallying more than 52% of the vote, while his leftist adversary Luisa Gonzalez had about 48%, with more than 90% of ballot boxes counted. Thirty five-year-old Noboa, a surprise qualifier for the run-off in the early election, has pledged to improve the economy and create jobs for young people, as well as to house dangerous criminals on prison ships. «Tomorrow we start work for this new Ecuador, we start working to rebuild a country seriously battered by violence, by corruption and by hate,» Noboa told supporters in the seaside town of Olon after clinching victory in a campaign marred by the murder of anti-corruption candidate Fernando Villavicencio. «From tomorrow Daniel Noboa starts work as your new president,» he added. His victory fulfills a long-held family ambition — he grew up accompanying his banana baron father Alvaro during the latter's multiple failed attempts to become president. Gonzalez congratulated Noboa on his victory. «Daniel Noboa, our profound congratulations, because this is democracy,» Gonzalez told supporters in Quito, calling on Noboa to fulfill his promises to students and the elderly. Noboa will face the significant challenge of righting an economy — which has struggled since the coronavirus pandemic and motivated many thousands of Ecuadoreans to migrate — and sharply rising crime, including increases in murders, robberies and prison riots. Noboa will have just 14 months to govern, serving a truncated term from December this year until May 2025. Re-election is generally not allowed in

Google has taken the ‘computational photography’ further with the Pixel 8, introducing AI-infused editing tools that don’t just erase things but altogether change a photo (or even a video), so you don’t have to worry about that one perfect shot. While others are busy in the megapixel race, Google is betting on AI to take the lead.
