Intervention follows days of delays and a near-miss between two planes on the Sydney aiport tarmac. Prue Car has asked Nesa to'urgently' examine AI and move to protect student learning amid growing evidence the technology is affecting student's cognitive development. Prue Car has asked Nesa to'urgently' examine AI and move to protect student learning amid growing evidence the technology is affecting student's cognitive development. Car said she has asked Nesa to "urgently" examine artificial intelligence and move to protect student learning amid growing evidence the technology is affecting student's cognitive development. Half of students' HSC result is based on school-based assessments, some of which is finished outside the classroom. Artificial intelligence has enormous potential to support teaching and learning, but it should never replace the thinking, creativity, and hard work that education is designed to develop.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is also investigating the crash. Michael Butler, the driver of a Tesla Model 3 that fatally struck a woman in her Texas home, manually overrode the car's Full Self-Driving (Supervised) system by pressing the accelerator pedal to 100 percent, according to a preliminary investigation from the National Transportation Safety Board. While local authorities initially reported that the Tesla's automated driving assistance system was engaged when Butler crashed into Martha Avila's home in June, the investigation says otherwise. According to the NTSB, the acceleration disabled the FSD system and the vehicle's speed was ultimately greater than 70 mph when the crash occurred. The investigation's preliminary findings match what Tesla AI head Ashok Elluswamy shared on X in June .

Musk's company denies that its driving assistance system is to blame. The family of a woman killed after a Tesla, which was operating using an automated driving assistance system according to authorities, crashed into her home is suing both the company and the driver of the vehicle. As reported by, a lawsuit was filed in Harris County District Court by Jennifer and Justin Barbour, the daughter and son-in-law of the 76-year-old victim, Martha Avila. It accuses Tesla of a design defect, and the car's owner, Michael Butler, 44, of negligence. Butler's Tesla Model 3 allegedly collided with Avila's Katy, Texas, home at around 8pm on June 19, at which time she was standing in her front room.

Members of the New Scientist Book Club give their take on Sierra Greer's award-winning science-fiction novel Annie Bot, our read for February - and the needle swings wildly from positive to negative Annie Bot by Sierra Greer was the Book Club's January read The New Scientist Book Club moved on from reading a classic piece science fiction in December - Iain M. Banks's - to an award-winning sci-fi novel in January: Sierra Greer's, which won the Arthur C. Clarke prize in 2025. I must admit, I was nervous to announce this one to my fellow readers. is the story of a sex robot, owned by a controlling and abusive man. It gets very dark in places, it has a number of sex scenes, and I wanted to make sure you all knew what you were getting into before getting started. That cupboard scene, some way into the book, was super disturbing, for example. It turns out my wariness was warranted.

Few fantasies are harder to wipe away than the romance of a clean slate. Every January, when we're twitchy with regret and self-loathing, advertisers blare, "New Year, new you," urging us to jettison our failures and start fresh. In fiction, self-reinvention is a perennial theme, often shadowed by the suspicion that it can't be done. Lately, novelists have put a political spin on the idea, counterposing hopeful acts of individual self-fashioning to the immovable weight of circumstance. Halle Butler's "The New Me" (2019), a millennial office satire, finds its temp heroine, Millie, trying to life-hack her way out of loneliness and professional drift--buy a plant, whiten her teeth, make friends, think positive.

This nimble biography examines the life of the legendary science-fiction writer Octavia Butler, whose works, such as "Parable of the Sower," often articulated unsettling visions of social collapse. Born in California in 1947 to a domestic worker and a veteran, Butler found escape in sci-fi books as a child. As Morris shows, Butler's stories, which reckoned with chattel slavery, climate catastrophe, and fascism, were as deeply attuned to West African culture and myth as they were to the American civil-rights movement. Yet Morris contends that Butler's stories "were not nihilistic predictions but a sort of love offering for readers to receive and be changed by." In this ambitious book, Vellend, a biologist, attempts to establish a "generalized evolutionary theory" to stand alongside physics as a crucial paradigm for understanding "how everything came to be."

When I read a tweet about four noted Silicon Valley executives being inducted into a special detachment of the United States Army Reserve, including Meta CTO Andrew "Boz" Bosworth, I questioned its veracity. It's very hard to discern truth from satire in 2025, in part because of social media sites owned by Bosworth's company. But it indeed was true. Boz is now Lieutenant Colonel Bosworth. The other newly commissioned officers include Kevin Weil, OpenAI's head of product; Bob McGrew, a former OpenAI head of research now advising Mira Murati's company Thinking Machines Lab; and Shyam Sankar, the CTO of Palantir.

Also shown are shocking videos of the crowd's reaction as everything unfolded, highlighting the fear of those who were there that day.

Tyler Saltsman, founder and CEO of EdgeRunner AI, warned that creating artificial general intelligence could "destroy the world as we know it." Scientists say that they have formulated a way to help people in stressful and demanding work environments track their brainwaves and brain usage -- an electronic tattoo device, or "e-tattoo," on the person's face. In a study posted in the science journal Device, the team of researchers wrote that they found e-tattoos to be a more cost-effective and simpler way to track one's mental workload. Dr. Nanshu Lu, the senior author of the research from the University of Texas at Austin, wrote that mental workload is a critical factor in human-in-the-loop systems, directly influencing cognitive performance and decision-making. Lu told Fox News Digital in an email that this device was motivated by high-demand, high-stake jobs such as pilots, air traffic controllers, doctors and emergency dispatchers.
