'I'm picking winners': UK business secretary takes activist approach to economic growth AI evangelist Peter Kyle wants to scale up businesses, attract overseas investors and look out for UK's poorer regions The UK business secretary, Peter Kyle, has said he is "betting big" and "picking winners" as the government takes direct stakes in growing businesses to boost economic growth. Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, where he and the chancellor, Rachel Reeves, have been talking up Britain's prospects, Kyle said ministers were taking an "activist" approach to industrial policy. The idea of "picking winners" is closely associated with the Conservative prime minister Margaret Thatcher's attacks on Labour's 1970s strategy and her argument that it should be the private sector that decides which companies thrive.

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Kangaroos have likely been hopping across the planet for much longer than experts previously believed. Not only that, but the ancestors of today's marsupials landed their leaps while growing larger than their descendents. For thousands of years, the planet's largest hopping animal has remained Australia's red kangaroo (). A male "Big Red" easily reaches over five feet tall, weighs 200 pounds, and travels around 37 mph at a pace of up to six feet per leap.

Predictions that AI bot swarms were a threat to democracy weren't'fanciful', said Michael Wooldridge, professor of the foundations of AI at Oxford University. Predictions that AI bot swarms were a threat to democracy weren't'fanciful', said Michael Wooldridge, professor of the foundations of AI at Oxford University. Experts warn of threat to democracy from'AI bot swarms' infesting social media Political leaders could soon launch swarms of human-imitating AI agents to reshape public opinion in a way that threatens to undermine democracy, a high profile group of experts in AI and online misinformation has warned. The Nobel peace prize-winning free-speech activist Maria Ressa, and leading AI and social science researchers from Berkeley, Harvard, Oxford, Cambridge and Yale are among a global consortium flagging the new "disruptive threat" posed by hard-to-detect, malicious "AI swarms" infesting social media and messaging channels. A would-be autocrat could use such swarms to persuade populations to accept cancelled elections or overturn results, they said, amid predictions the technology could be deployed at scale by the time of the US presidential election in 2028.

Genitalia size does have some evolutionary benefits, but men remain a bit touchy about the subject. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Human history is full of juvenile jokes, odd stereotypes, and outright harmful misinformation about the size of a man's penis. But the long and short of the real science behind size suggests that men themselves are more likely than women to get riled up about the subject . According to a study published today in the journal, men routinely feel more physically and sexually threatened by well-endowed rivals--regardless of how women feel about the subjects.

The films span nearly a century of cinema, from silent-era classics to modern blockbusters and were praised for respecting real scientific principles rather than relying on fantasy. According to NASA and NASA-affiliated scientists, accuracy is not about predicting the future perfectly, but about portraying science, scientists and technology realistically. Movies like Gattaca and Jurassic Park earned recognition for their grounded treatment of genetics, DNA and complex systems.

Ubisoft, the video games publisher behind the Assassin's Creed series, has cancelled projects and announced a restructuring that will close several studios as a result of several years of weak results and disappointing sales. Ubisoft, the video games publisher behind the Assassin's Creed series, has cancelled projects and announced a restructuring that will close several studios as a result of several years of weak results and disappointing sales. The video game publisher behind the Assassin's Creed series has cancelled six projects including a remake of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time as it fights to stay competitive in the global gaming market. Ubisoft announced a sweeping reorganisation and said it would cancel six games, sending its shares to their lowest level in more than a decade on Thursday. Ubisoft is abandoning development of six titles, including a highly anticipated remake of Prince of Persia - a series that dates back to 1989 and received an ill-fated Hollywood adaptation in 2010 - and delaying a further seven. Studios in Halifax, Canada and Stockholm are being closed, with restructuring to follow in other countries, it said.

Is this AI's worst prediction yet? Chris Sutton's guest this week, actor Éanna Hardwicke, plays Roy Keane in Saipan - a new film about the former Manchester United captain's infamous fallout with Republic of Ireland manager Mick McCarthy before the 2002 World Cup. It is in cinemas from Friday. Naturally, we asked AI who would play Sutton if a film were ever made about him. The best fit, apparently, is Hollywood heartthrob Tom Hardy - who is four inches shorter than BBC Sport football expert Sutton but is AI's top choice for the role because he is known for portraying tough, brooding characters with emotional depth. That just shows how way off the mark AI is, said Sutton. But I'm happy with Tom Hardy, even though he is not tall enough.

'What Elon [Musk] was ginning up was controversy, eyeballs, engagement and users,' CCDH's chief executive said. Estimate made by Center for Countering Digital Hate after Elon Musk's AI image generation tool sparked outrage Grok AI generated about 3m sexualised images in less than two weeks, including 23,000 that appear to depict children, according to researchers who said it "became an industrial-scale machine for the production of sexual abuse material". The estimate has been made by the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) after Elon Musk's AI image generation tool sparked international outrage when it allowed users to upload photographs of strangers and celebrities, digitally strip them to their underwear or into bikinis, put them in provocative poses and post the images on X. The trend went viral over the new year, peaking on 2 January with 199,612 individual requests, according to analysis conducted by Peryton Intelligence, a digital intelligence company specialising in online hate.
