It's one thing to want to protect endangered animals, but another entirely to keep track of them. Case in point: the dugong, a medium-sized marine mammal often referred to as a sea cow. Cute they may be, but spotting them in large bodies of water is easier said than done. Since marine researchers want to do so to keep tabs on population sizes, conservation status, and their important habitat areas, that poses a bit of a problem. Fortunately, this is where Dr. Amanda Hodgson of Australia's Murdoch University comes in.

More than half of students are chasing careers that will be made obsolete by advances in technology and automation, according to a report by the Foundation for Young Australians (FYA). The report, entitled The New Work Order, makes recommendations to ensure that Australia's young people are being trained for the future of work, not for the'traditional' model of employment. In a worrying finding, the report states that 70 per cent of young people currently enter the workforce in jobs that will be "radically affected by automation". The CEO of FYA, Jan Owen, said that while the unemployment and underemployment rate for young people in Australia is already around 30 per cent, the chances of getting a foothold in the labour market are going to keep shrinking.

The next frontier for artificial intelligence may involve teaching computers to distinguish albacore tuna from its yellowfin cousin. The Nature Conservancy, an environmental non-profit, is working with several Pacific Island nations and a big tuna fishing company to more easily count and identify fish caught at sea using cutting edge technology. The goal is to use trendy artificial intelligence techniques like deep learning to help fishermen reduce the number of protected animals like sharks and turtles that are accidentally caught along with the tuna. The Nature Conservancy hopes that the program could prevent overfishing and help threatened and endangered sea life recover without putting fishermen out of work. "We have real optimism that data science community can help us differentiate a turtle from a tuna, and flag when a shark comes on board," said Mark Zimring, a project director for The Nature Conservancy.

Industries from health care to the legal sector face being being disrupted by the latest advances in robotics and artificial intelligence (AI), an expert warns, prompting a renewed warning in the wake of Donald Trump's US election victory. Jon Williams, an analyst with professional services firm PwC, said governments in Australia need to have a serious debate about how to prepare for huge changes in the workforce. "I think over the next couple of years, governments have to develop policies that allow them to support the development of new jobs and new industries or we'll see what we saw in the recent US election, where there's a huge disaffected group whose job in a factory disappeared and they haven't been able to replace it," Mr Williams told the ABC. "The next five to 10 years will see jobs in the professions, in medicine, in the legal profession, in professional services starting to be replaced by computers and robots and machine learning." Seven months after the biggest robotic drug dispensary in the southern hemisphere went live at Perth's Fiona Stanley Hospital, pharmacist Ken Tam is keen to talk up the benefits.

How AI will take over the world: Researchers reveal the'four ages of smart software' that will take tech from game playing to self awareness A recent White House report on artificial intelligence says the next 20 years likely won't see machines'exhibit broadly-applicable intelligence comparable to or exceeding that of humans,' but one researcher has revealed what it will take to make that happen.
