AI is stealing Indigenous Australian art and churning out'Temu slop', artist says Chair of National Gallery's First Nations advisory group says the technology is undermining artists' agency and the authenticity of their work AI is taking First Nations art and turning it into "Temu slop", the Pitjantjatjara artist Sally Scales has said. Scales, the chair of the National Gallery of Australia's First Nations advisory group, said the technology is undermining the agency of First Nations artists and the authenticity of their work and represents a "a theft" of cultural knowledge. But experts are particularly worried about the risks to Indigenous cultural and intellectual property (ICIP) and in a world where AI companies can hoover up anything that may be found online, including songs and paintings that include sacred and cultural knowledge.

A.I. is solving problems that stumped the field for decades. Mathematicians look to Terence Tao for guidance on their altered world. "I have had the strangest week ever in my life," Tao said, after OpenAI announced the solution to yet another problem. A mathematician is a machine for turning coffee into theorems. This was a line often invoked by the Hungarian mathematician Paul Erdős, who was fuelled by coffee and amphetamines, slept little, travelled near-constantly, never married or had children, and published almost fifteen hundred papers in his lifetime, in collaboration with hundreds of other mathematicians. But Erdős was, in most ways, not machinelike. He called lecturing in mathematics "preaching," woke friends at odd hours by asking, "Is your brain open?," wore only silk underclothing on account of his sensitive skin, and claimed not to have learned how to butter toast until he was twenty-one. He gave away most of his earnings to charitable causes and to young mathematicians in need of funds for their education, and he offered bounties (sometimes ten dollars, sometimes a thousand) for solutions to mathematical problems he'd proposed. It has been said that, even above his remarkable contributions to the mathematical literature, he helped the discipline most profoundly by turning people who might otherwise have become hedge-fund managers or F.B.I. agents or lost souls into mathematicians. When he died, in 1996, at the age of eighty-three, he left behind about a thousand problems. Solving an Erdős problem is a great honor, as is having a low "Erdős number," a term that describes how many degrees of separation one is from having published work with him. Terence Tao was ten years old when Erdős visited his home town of Adelaide, Australia, in 1985. Erdős loved children and called them epsilons. Tao, a mathematics prodigy, had started taking college-level courses at age nine. Erdős posed a problem for him and Tao to work on together. A photograph of their meeting, taken by Tao's mother (who had been a math teacher before having kids), shows the young mathematician and the old one deep in thought, hands at chins, looking at the notepad before them.

Outsourcing planning to AI can lead people to surrender their own critical thinking, which can have potentially deadly results in places like the backcountry. By the time the three hikers called for help from a rocky face on Mount Shasta in Northern California, they'd made a series of bad decisions . They didn't bring enough food, and they'd overestimated their fitness. Instead of turning back in late afternoon when they hadn't yet reached the top, they summited at 7:30 pm and had to descend in the dark. Their lack of preparation and poor planning, as they admitted later, came partly from relying on Google's artificial intelligence chatbot Gemini .

An alarming new survey from media and tech non-profit Common Sense Media has found that children begin interacting with AI chatbots at an alarmingly early age -- with nearly half of 9-12-year-olds having bypassed the 13+ age restriction common to most LLMs. The survey is titled The 2026 Common Sense Media Census: Tech and Media Use by Tweens and Teens . In the paper, the organization conducted interviews with more than 1,200 American children aged 9 to 17, asking questions about AI use as well as television, gaming, and social media habits. More importantly, the interviews asked these young children how they feel about their own media consumption habits.

Is the war entering a new phase? They release them by cutting off their fins and dropping them in the sea. Their bodies, with net marks on their skin, are often washed ashore. It failed - but the ongoing hostilities have been killing "hundreds times more" bottlenose and short-beaked dolphins and harbour porpoises, according to Ivan Rusev, head researcher at the Tuzly Lagoons national park in southern Ukraine. In 2022 alone, some 50,000 dolphins died this way, and by 2026, the number exceeded 120,000, or one in four cetaceans in the Black Sea, Rusev told Al Jazeera.
