New York Times, CNN and Australia's ABC block OpenAI's GPTBot web crawler from accessing content
News outlets including the New York Times, CNN, Reuters and the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) have blocked a tool from OpenAI, limiting the company's ability to continue accessing their content. OpenAI is behind one of the best known artificial intelligence chatbots, ChatGPT. Its web crawler – known as GPTBot – may scan webpages to help improve its AI models. The Verge was first to report the New York Times had blocked GPTBot on its website. The Guardian subsequently found that other major news websites, including CNN, Reuters, the Chicago Tribune, the ABC and Australian Community Media (ACM) brands such as the Canberra Times and the Newcastle Herald, appear to have also disallowed the web crawler.

Girl dies in shark attack after trying to swim with dolphins
Officials had to close Mullaloo Beach in Perth, Western Australia, for the second time in a week on Monday, January 9, after a tiger shark was spotted swimming close to the shore. Check out this video, taken from a drone. A 16-year-old girl died after a shark mauled her while swimming in the Swan River in Australia, with only a teen diving in to save her as others watched in horror. "A female received injuries after being bitten by an unknown species of shark at approximately 3.35pm on Feb. 4 2023," the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD) said of the incident. "DPIRD is working with WA Police and local authorities to coordinate responses. A DPIRD Fisheries vessel is on the water monitoring the area, and DPIRD officers are conducting land-based patrols."

Cipia Announces New Design Win; Additional OEM to Integrate Driver Sense Dms
Cipia an AI computer vision in-cabin automotive solutions provider announced that the company had secured a design win with an additional Chinese OEM together with Tier 1 HiRain. Cipia's Driver Sense Driver Monitoring System (DMS) will be incorporated into a pickup truck model that will be sold in South America, Australia and New Zealand. The model is expected to start production in 2023. With this announcement, Cipia has now been awarded 29 design wins across 6 car manufacturers. Yehuda Holtzman, CEO of Cipia, said "The selection of Cipia's DMS by a new OEM and Tier 1 demonstrates again the reliability and quality of our technology, and our ability to deliver safer and better driving experiences. We are continuing to push and expand our collaborations with new OEMs, focusing on the US, European and Chinese markets."

Football 2023: Why the A-League could introduce facial recognition at a stadium near you
There are also unresolved questions about how spectator bans can be enforced at lower-tier facilities for women's, youth, state league or other grassroots matches, where the security presence is greatly reduced in comparison to the stadiums where the full-time professionals play. FA chief executive James Johnson admitted on Tuesday that stadium bans were "complex" but not impossible to implement, and required close collaboration and information sharing between sporting bodies, security and police to allow those manning stadium entry points to identify banned supporters. Victoria Police say the enforcement of stadium bans is a matter for host clubs and venues.Credit:Getty Images According to industry sources, however, the system is imperfect and, in many ways, archaic, heavily reliant on the memories of security staff and their ability to quickly match patrons with photos, names or other data related to people on banned lists. Inevitably, some slip through the net, and often they are the ones who can cause trouble at a sporting event. One obvious but highly controversial and almost dystopian solution appears to be gaining traction in Australia and throughout the world: facial recognition technology, which was rolled out in cameras throughout the SCG precinct in 2018 and has been in place at Sydney's major stadia ever since.
Using machine learning to improve the toxicity assessment of chemicals
Researchers from the University of Amsterdam, together with colleagues at the University of Queensland and the Norwegian Institute for Water Research, have developed a strategy for assessing the toxicity of chemicals using machine learning. The models developed in this study can lead to substantial improvements when compared to conventional'in silico' assessments based on quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) modelling. According to the researchers, the use of machine learning can vastly improve the hazard assessment of molecules, both in the safe-by-design development of new chemicals and in the evaluation of existing chemicals. The importance of the latter is illustrated by the fact that European and US chemical agencies have listed approximately 800,000 chemicals that have been developed over the years but for which there is little to no knowledge about environmental fate or toxicity. Since an experimental assessment of chemical fate and toxicity requires much time, effort, and resources, modelling approaches are already used to predict hazard indicators.

Flutes, synths, a human voice – how should electric vehicles sound?
Take a walk down any busy street and the noise can hit like a speaker accidentally left on full volume. The growls of engines accelerating when the traffic light turns green, motorbikes vying for position in the traffic, buses whizzing past and the odd rev-head all compete to be heard. The sound generated by the internal combustion engine has shaped urban life for a century, but that is gradually going to change: by 2050, 90% of cars in Australia will be electric. Australia is developing noise standards for electric cars that may follow similar rules set by the UN or US, industry experts say. But what exactly an electric car, and ultimately our cities, will sound like is under the creative control of carmakers.
