Farage says Reform has contacted X 'to highest level' over fake AI ads
Farage says Reform has contacted X'to highest level' over fake AI ads Reform leader Nigel Farage has called on X to act over a series of fake, AI-generated adverts which depict him fighting Bank of England governor Andrew Bailey. The ads - showing the Reform leader and Bank of England governor in a number of fake scenarios, on a set resembling BBC Question Time - have been repeatedly shown to X users in the UK in recent days. Farage told reporters on Tuesday that Reform UK contacted X on Monday to the highest level - adding he hoped it would take action to remove the ads incredibly quickly. The BBC has approached X for comment. It comes after the Bank of England also urged X users to report the ads, where seen.

Apple's new Siri just works. Why can't Copilot?
PCWorld examines Apple's revamped Siri, which integrates AI across macOS with a focus on productivity and seamless ecosystem functionality. Apple's approach prioritizes local, private AI processing and practical user benefits, contrasting sharply with Microsoft's fragmented Copilot solutions. The unified Siri experience demonstrates how Apple's strategic AI integration creates a more holistic user experience than Windows' various disconnected tools. Apple's secret is that, like the Queen of England, it is never early, and never late. It is always on time.

The best new popular science books of June 2026
This is a month to look out for some powerful new books, with authors taking on challenges of all sorts and imagining whole new worlds. There are fresh ways to think about a cancer diagnosis, a book tackling the real inner world of hormones, in which we are all hormonal all the time, plus a major re-envisioning of the natural world where we abandon the shallows of competition for the depth and intricacies of connection and togetherness. It's quite hard going to get an up-to-date grip on human evolution, even for the best-briefed adult, so a book with sophisticated text and excellent illustrations and diagrams can only be a good thing. Especially if it is curated and edited by Alice Roberts, biological anthropologist, palaeopathologist, broadcaster - and professor of public engagement in science at the University of Birmingham, UK. She worked with a generous-sized international team of experts in many fields of human evolution, including archaeology, palaeontology, anthropology and cognitive science.

Replace or Reshape: How AI Could Change the Way We Work
Christopher Marquis is a professor at the University of Cambridge and the author of The Profiteers. In 1930, in the depths of the Great Depression, John Maynard Keynes wrote a short essay called . It is often remembered for one striking prediction: by 2030, people in wealthy countries might only need to work about 15 hours a week. What Keynes imagined was a society advanced enough to solve what he called the "economic problem" of basic material provision. If technology kept improving, and societies kept growing richer, then fewer hours of human labor would be needed to produce the necessities and comforts of life.

To most people, the idea that the US, China and other countries are in possession of crashed alien spacecraft is preposterous. Any suggestion that these craft have been recovered with non-human intelligences inside, dead or alive, stretches credulity to breaking point.
Image Empire – a new short film from Alan Warburton
The film forms part of a research project undertaken by Alan Warburton which also includes a research paper and a series of satellite events. The film is based on doctoral research undertaken at Birkbeck's Vasari Centre for Art & Technology. It was commissioned by the National Videogame Museum in collaboration with the Open Data Institute (ODI) and Cambridge University's Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence . The ODI hosted a webinar on 6 May to discuss the content of the film. The panellists explored what AI can and can't do, what effects a collapse of real and virtual could have on visual culture, and if we're living in a post-truth world.
