Australia will need to double the pace of its renewable energy uptake to meet the 2030 emissions target set by the Albanese government, even without any increase in demand, according to Bruce Mountain, head of the Victoria Energy Policy Centre. Labor's main energy policy, Rewiring the Nation, includes the creation of a special corporation to funnel $20bn into new transmission links to accelerate the uptake of more clean energy. The plan is part of Labor's pledge to cut Australia's 2005-level greenhouse gas emissions 43% by 2030, projecting renewables reach an 82% share of renewables in the National Electricity Market by then. Excluding hydro power, renewable energy has increased its share of the market 3% annually in the past five years, Mountain says. "Deducting 10% from hydro, the target is 72%," he says of Labor's goal.

Coral reefs are among Earth's most stunning and biodiverse ecosystems. Yet, due to human-induced climate change resulting in warmer oceans, we are seeing growing numbers of these living habitats dying. The urgency of the crisis facing coral reefs around the world was highlighted in a recent study that showed that 91% of Australia's Great Barrier Reef had experienced coral bleaching in the summer of 2021–22 due to heat stress from rising water temperatures. Determining reef health is key to gauging the extent of the problem and developing ways of intervening to save these ecosystems, and a new artificial intelligence (AI) tool has been developed to measure reef health using… sound. Research coming out of the UK is using AI to study the soundscape of Indonesian reefs to determine the health of the ecosystems.

I'm sure you've heard of or seen the movie "The Matrix''. The film follows our protagonist, Neo, as he tries to save humanity from the matrix: a fabricated world created by artificial intelligence to trap humans in. Artificial Intelligence (or "AI" for short) is becoming increasingly more prevalent in our lives and will play an instrumental part in humanity's future. While many view it as something that can be beneficial, it can also be devastatingly destructive. However, the reason we should fear AI has nothing to do with a machine's consciousness or the risk of its rebellion, but something much simpler.

Pogrebna is a pioneer in behavioural data science – a field that combines behavioural science and data science techniques to better understand, model and predict the behaviour of humans, algorithms and complex systems in the face of risk and uncertainty. "I warmly welcome Professor Pogrebna to the University and look forward to working with her to establish the Cybersecurity and Data Science Institute," Charles Sturt pro vice-chancellor (Research and Innovation) Professor Mark Evans said. "Professor Pogrebna comes to the University with a wealth of experience. This includes being the Lead of the Behavioural Data Science strand at The Alan Turing Institute – the national centre for AI and data science in London where she is also a Fellow working on hybrid modelling approaches between behavioural science and data science (e.g. According to Evans, Pogrebna helps leaders in businesses, charities and the public sector better understand why they make the decisions they make and how they can optimise their behaviour to achieve higher profit, better social and commercial outcomes, and bolster the wellbeing of their teams. Pogrebna said her goal as executive director of the Cybersecurity and Data Science Institute is to avoid'building a silo'. "I have spent several weeks visiting our researchers across the University's campuses and became aware of the incredible work they are doing," she said. "The new Institute will aim to support our local talent and build on it, seeing how we can develop new research collaborations in Australia as well as internationally.

Nine months since the launch of our first commercial product, the OpenAI API, more than 300 applications are now using GPT-3, and tens of thousands of developers around the globe are building on our platform. They also want a way to edit their address in checkout and save multiple payment methods." "GPT-3's ability to identify themes from natural language and generate summaries allows Viable to give product, customer experience, and marketing teams at companies across industries a better understanding of their customers' wants and needs," said Daniel Erickson, CEO of Viable. Algolia uses GPT-3 in their Algolia Answers product to offer relevant, lightning-fast semantic search for their customers. When the OpenAI API launched, Algolia partnered with OpenAI to integrate GPT-3 with their advanced search technology in order to create their new Answers product that better understands customers' questions and connects them to the specific part of the content that answers their questions. Algolia Answers helps publishers and customer support help desks query in natural language and surface nontrivial answers. "We've seen great results from Algolia Answers on questions that are difficult to answer with textual search alone," said Peter Buffington, Product Manager at ABC Australia. "It was able to return very relevant, evergreen content from our news archives for questions such as'Why does a volcano erupt?'" "GPT-3 allows Algolia to answer more complex queries than ever before with our Algolia Answers product, identifying deeper contextual information to improve the quality of results and deliver them in seconds," said Dustin Coates, Product and GTM Manager at Algolia. We require developers to implement safety measures such as rate limits, user verification and testing, or human-in-the-loop requirements before they move into production.

Instrumental variable (IV) is a powerful approach to inferring the causal effect of a treatment on an outcome of interest from observational data even when there exist latent confounders between the treatment and the outcome. However, existing IV methods require that an IV is selected and justified with domain knowledge. An invalid IV may lead to biased estimates. Hence, discovering a valid IV is critical to the applications of IV methods. In this paper, we study and design a data-driven algorithm to discover valid IVs from data under mild assumptions. We develop the theory based on partial ancestral graphs (PAGs) to support the search for a set of candidate Ancestral IVs (AIVs), and for each possible AIV, the identification of its conditioning set. Based on the theory, we propose a data-driven algorithm to discover a pair of IVs from data. The experiments on synthetic and real-world datasets show that the developed IV discovery algorithm estimates accurate estimates of causal effects in comparison with the state-of-the-art IV based causal effect estimators.

Fortunately, the search proved successful. But it wasn't a human who found the promising molecules. It was a machine learning program. One compound has been patented under the name Halicin in homage to HAL, the artificial intelligence (AI) in Arthur C Clarke's classic 2001: A Space Odyssey. Halicin works differently from existing antibiotics, disrupting the bacteria's ability to access energy, and researchers hope bacteria may struggle to develop resistance to it.
