'Super offensive' - We love how we look but AI tried to'fix' our visible differences People with scars, birthmarks and medical conditions have told the BBC how AI tools have changed or erased their personal features. Rhiannon Morgan, from Bridgend, said an image of her used in a work newsletter had been auto-retouched by AI. A BBC Wales investigation found AI tools including Elon Musk's Grok, Google's Gemini and OpenAI's ChatGPT removed visible differences when prompted to make a person look normal. AI did not make any other changes to the person's clothing, hair or to people in the background. The charity Changing Faces, external estimates there are about five million people in the UK affected by a visible difference including skin conditions or characteristics that set an individual apart from the conventional societal norm.

A new era of spaceflight could save astronauts time and cut exposure to cosmic radiation as they rocket to Mars--and beyond. Just before the Artemis II crew began its historic slingshot around the moon this past April, NASA announced plans to build Space Reactor-1 Freedom. SR-1, the first-ever nuclear-reactor-powered interplanetary spacecraft, is meant to fly an uncrewed mission to Mars by the end of 2028, arriving in 2029. A successful mission would herald a new era of more efficient, potentially faster spaceflight--saving astronauts time and cutting their exposure to harmful cosmic radiation as they travel to Mars and beyond. "You wake up to that announcement, and it puts a big smile on your face," says Simon Middleburgh, co-director of the Nuclear Futures Institute at Bangor University in Wales. Running a nuclear reactor in space may sound like lunacy, but it's not.

The UK audit regulator has confirmed it is leading inquiries into accounting irregularities at Manchester City. The Financial Reporting Council confirmed in a letter to the House of Commons business select committee it had taken over regulatory consideration of the case from the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales on 30 September. No formal investigation has started, but the FRC is making inquiries into the case. It comes after Manchester City were found guilty by an independent commission of all charges relating to breaches of the Premier League's financial regulations between the 2009-10 and 2017-18 seasons, including by artificially inflating the club's financial position by more than £900m. City are appealing the verdict.

South Wales Police said the woman, 47, from North Cornelly, Bridgend, crashed into a wall on Coity Road at about 12:43 BST on Monday. But the force said she had suffered injuries unrelated to the crash. It followed armed police swooping on a nearby sheltered housing retirement complex, Ger-y-Nant, where the man was arrested. There remains a heavy police presence in the area, including six officers, police cars and vans.

'People use AI to avoid paying for school photos, but they don't realise the consequences' Image caption, Photographer Ian Gilbert says he's heard parents boasting about how they use AI to take the watermark off to avoid paying for school photos A photographer is warning parents who use artificial intelligence to take the watermark off school pictures about the dangers of how companies can use images of their children. Ian Gilbert, founder of Emotion Picture Photography, said he had heard parents boasting at the school gates about how they use the tool to avoid paying for photos. The scary thing is when you submit a picture to AI by default it is allowed to do whatever it wants and I don't think a lot of parents realise that, he said. An AI safety expert said he understood why people did it, and that it may seem harmless, but uploading any identifiable information, including photographs, was not worth the risk. Gilbert, from Pontypool, Torfaen, urged parents to think carefully before uploading their child's photograph to an AI tool.

Conservative shadow chancellor Andrew Griffith has said his party, if it was returned to power, would take £50,000 off the cost of building a new home in England and Wales by cutting back on regulations. The £50,000 figure claimed by Griffith reflects estimates by the housebuilding industry of the costs of new regulations and taxes. However, construction and housing experts warn that some of the savings could ultimately lead to higher government spending on schools, roads, and affordable housing. And some analysts also warn the Conservative plans to scrap environmental regulations could potentially push up household energy bills in future. Where does the £50,000 figure come from?

Giving robot companions animal-like or anime-style faces and voices could maximise their emotional appeal to users, according to new research which could help guide the growing field of social robotics. Social robots can provide companionship and comfort to their owners by mimicking human or petlike behaviours. Although the robots are a fast-growing sector of the tech industry, surprisingly little academic research has explored how their designs can be optimised to make the robots as expressive and emotionally engaging as possible. In a new paper set to be presented at a conference this week, researchers from the University of Glasgow show how they have been working to close that research gap. With the help of a group of volunteers, they used augmented reality technology to test dozens of different combinations of faces and voices overlaid on the body of an existing social robot called a Qoobo, which has a soft, cushion-like body and a swinging tail.

Ben Lidgey was messing around with his son in the garden when he was accidentally kicked in the testicles - but it may well have saved his life. When he was still in pain after a week, he sought medical help and found out he had testicular cancer. A new report from men's charity Movember says a third of men in Wales die before their 75th birthday, and calls on the Welsh government to develop a dedicated plan for men's health. The government said its existing suicide prevention and self harm, mental health and cancer strategies are already working to tackle some of the challenges facing men.
