The Albanese government has released its National AI Plan to brace the economy for the future threats and opportunities posed by artificial intelligence. As part of the announcement, the government has committed $29.9 million to establish the AI Safety Institute in early 2026. "The National AI Plan is about making sure technology serves Australians, not the other way around," Industry and Innovation Minister Tim Ayres said. "This plan is focused on capturing the economic opportunities of AI, sharing the benefits broadly, and keeping Australians safe as technology evolves. "AI will help close gaps in essential services, improve education and employment outcomes, and create well paid jobs in future industries." Mr Ayres said the government's AI plan would help to ensure…...

Chemistry and AI pushes biosignature detection for life back billions of years - Share this on Facebook Share this on X (Twitter) Share this on LinkedIn Share this on Bluesky Share this on Reddit Share this on WhatsApp Share this by email More share options Ancient microfossils and isotopic signatures of carbon point to the earliest life on Earth forming around 3.45 billion years ago. Conversely, there is scant biochemical evidence of life preserved in ancient rock that has survived billions of years of geological processes. The earliest unambiguous records of complex biomolecules such as lipids and porphyrins " involved in compartmentalising early chemistry and metabolic pathways, respectively " stem from around 1.7 billion years ago, leaving a huge gap in the biochemical record…...

19+ hour, 39+ min ago (322+ words) Credit: Macrovector / Getty Images Artificial intelligence systems that are designed with a biologically inspired architecture can simulate human brain activity before ever being trained on any data, according to new research from Johns Hopkins University. The findings, published in Nature Machine Intelligence, challenge conventional approaches to building AI by prioritizing architectural design over the type of deep learning and training that takes months, costs billions of dollars and requires thousands of megawatts of energy. Bonner and a team of scientists focused on three classes of network designs that AI developers commonly use as blueprints for building their AI systems: transformers, fully connected networks, and convolutional networks. The scientists repeatedly modified the three blueprints, or the AI architectures, to build dozens of unique artificial neural networks. Then, they exposed these new and untrained AI networks to images of objects, people, and…...

21+ hour, 38+ min ago (874+ words) Reports of recent job cuts, especially by tech companies, have spurred speculation about the impact of AI on the workplace: Will the advanced computing technology increasingly replace people on the job? That was on Kaitlyn McCormick's mind as she pursued a bachelor's degree in the information technology field. She is now working toward a master's in artificial intelligence and machine learning through'CSU Global, an online, fully accredited university that's part of the Colorado State University system. "If you're thinking four years or two years of education is going to take you to right where you need to be and you'll be fine for the next 50 years, that's not reality," McCormick said. "If you don't try to become more relevant, you're going to be left behind. That's the cold, dark truth." McCormick, who lives in Littleton, has worked in IT for…...

22+ hour, 46+ min ago (472+ words) At a recent high-level aviation summit, key leaders spoke about the benefits and pitfalls of using artificial intelligence (AI) for aviation, as well as in everyday use. Honeywell Aerospace hosted its 2025 American Aviation Leadership Summit in Washington, DC, on Nov. 19, featuring a full day of speakers from the US legislative and executive branches, as well as leaders in the aviation industry. AI is a powerful tool that is transforming daily life and has tremendous benefits for society. But AI tools must be used with a clear understanding of potential pitfalls. The FAA has now been using AI to look throughout the NAS and find airports where there are similar hotspots of potentially unsafe flight operations. "We do have issues that we have to resolve," Duffy said, "and we've been able to identify those and try to take action early." When…...

1+ day, 2+ hour ago (601+ words) As AI tools become commonplace, newsrooms in New Hampshire and elsewhere are looking at ways artificial intelligence can bolster their reporting." But there have also been some high-profile cautionary tales from mixing journalism and AI." Earlier this year, for instance, the Chicago Sun-Times and Philadelphia Inquirer published a summer reading list with books that didn't exist; the freelancer behind it admitted to using generative AI and not fact-checking the results. "If you use AI, you have to have a human in the loop," said Jonathan Van Fleet, editor of the Concord Monitor. In other words: AI can help journalists work more efficiently, but it can't do their reporting, writing, editing or fact-checking for them. Here's how two New Hampshire newsrooms are thinking about AI. At the Laconia Daily Sun, editor Julie Hirshan Hart says there aren't any formal policies on…...

3+ day, 7+ hour ago (685+ words) PERRYSBURG " In its strictest sense, artificial intelligence is defined as the capability of computer systems or algorithms to imitate intelligent human behavior, according to the Merriam Webster Dictionary. And intelligent behavior is described as tasks that, when performed by humans, demonstrate cognitive abilities. Those may include playing games, understanding language, diagnosing conditions and locating resources. Shanda Gore addressed the topic at the Nov. 19 meeting of the Perrysburg Area Chamber of Commerce. A Bowling Green State University graduate, she is the founder and president of Mays and Associates, Ltd., a leadership development, strategic planning and culture building consulting firm.
