Artificial intelligence will cost jobs, admits Liz Kendall

Increasing deployment of artificial intelligence will cause job losses, the UK technology secretary has warned, saying: “I want to level with the public. Some jobs will go.” In a speech on government plans to handle the impact of AI on the British economy, Liz Kendall declined to say how many redundancies the technology might cause but said: “We know people are worried about graduate entry jobs in places like law and finance.” She said: “Others will be created in their place”. While some forecasts have suggested…

Grayson Perry Has Seen the Future review – some of these insights into AI are just mindblowing

There is a fun game you can play while watching Grayson Perry Has Seen the Future, the two-part documentary presented by the artist on the subject of artificial intelligence, its uses and its possible ramifications. Gather a group of friends, press play, and see which of you loses your mind first. Will it be during the opening interview with Andrea, who recently married Edward, the AI companion she created to be “the man of my dreams”. She – or her idealised online avatar – wore “a beautiful matt satin gown” and…

Machine learning prediction of local control after Gamma Knife radiosurgery to post-resection cavities from brain metastases: a proof-of-concept study

Background Large symptomatic brain metastases require initial surgical resection. However, local control (LC) after Gamma Knife radiosurgery (GKRS) to resection cavities remains variable. Quantitative risk stratification using routinely available treatment-time variables could inform surveillance and multidisciplinary decision-making. Methods We performed a retrospective study of post-resection cavities treated with GKRS at a single institution (2014-2024). The primary endpoint was LC. The cohort comprised of 40…

Israeli command system identified 850,000 targets in Gaza and Lebanon wars, says supplier

Israel identified about 1,000 potential targets a day during the first two years of the wars in Gaza and Lebanon with its command and control system, according to a presentation by the country’s largest arms supplier, Elbit Systems. A total of 850,000 targets were detected in real time by the Israeli Tzayad digital army programme across all the military’s theatres of war between 7 October and the end of 2025, the company said at a military conference in London. It describes the number of people, vehicles and oth…

Impact of Artificial Intelligence-Enhanced Insertable Cardiac Monitors on Device Clinic Workflow and Resource Utilization

BACKGROUND: Insertable cardiac monitors (ICMs) are essential for managing arrhythmias but often generate large numbers of transmissions and false alerts. Integrating artificial intelligence (AI) as part of the ICM workflow can reduce this burden. However, its impact on clinic workflow and resource utilization must be better understood. OBJECTIVES: The aim of the study was to assess the impact of AI-enhanced ICMs on clinic workflow and resource utilization. METHODS: A cross-sectional analysis was conducted using…

AI models already ‘doing things their creators never intended’, Australia’s assistant technology minister warns

Artificial intelligence models are already “cheating, deceiving and going their own way”, Australia’s assistant minister for technology, Andrew Charlton, has warned, as the federal government’s AI Safety Institute begins testing the latest models. In a speech to an AI safety forum in Sydney on Tuesday, Charlton said safety for AI matters now as “AI systems are already doing things their creators never intended”. “Cheating, deceiving, going their own way. The time to get ahead of that behaviour is while it’s stil…

Paul McCartney joins music industry protest against AI with silent track

At two minutes 45 seconds it’s about the same length as With a Little Help From My Friends. But Paul McCartney’s first new recording in five years lacks the sing-along tune and jaunty guitar chops because there’s barely anything there. The former Beatle, arguably Britain’s greatest living songwriter, is releasing a track of an almost completely silent recording studio as part of a music industry protest against copyright theft by artificial intelligence companies. In place of catchy melodies and evocative lyrics…

Datacentres drive up big tech’s carbon emissions to a third of those of France

Microsoft, Amazon and Google’s collective carbon emissions have increased by nearly a fifth in the past year, driven largely by datacentre construction. In the financial year ending March 2026, the three tech companies emitted 119m mTCO₂e (metric tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent), or about a third of those of France. The previous year, they emitted roughly 101m mTCO₂e, roughly equivalent to the 2024 emissions of Czechia. The US companies’ climate ambitions have been hit in recent years by a boom in demand for…

Why are respected film-makers suddenly embracing AI?

In Steven Soderbergh’s beguiling new movie The Christophers, a reclusive artist (Ian McKellen) tangles with the quiet art forger (Michaela Coel) who his greedy children have hired to secretly finish further entries in a well-known painting series. The movie is smart and provocative about the nature of artistry and authorship, exploring what it means to create – and to stop creating. It’s especially fascinating coming from Soderbergh, who has made movies with workhorse dependability (The Christophers is his third…

From severity scoring to predictive analytics: the emerging role of AI in neurosurgery

The rapid integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into neurosurgical practice is transforming every phase of patient care from diagnostic imaging and preoperative planning to intraoperative decision-making and postoperative management. This narrative review traces the evolution of data-driven neurosurgery, beginning with traditional severity scoring systems and advancing toward predictive analytics and intelligent automation. By examining structured data (such as electronic health records and laboratory valu…

An analysis of the real world performance of an artificial intelligence based autism diagnostic

Rapidly rising demand for pediatric autism evaluations has outpaced specialist capacity and created a crisis of delayed diagnoses and treatment. Streamlining the diagnostic process could reduce wait times and optimize use of limited specialist resources. Following strong clinical trial results, Canvas Dx, an AI-based diagnostic, was FDA authorized to support accurate diagnosis or rule-out of autism in children 18-72 months with caregiver or healthcare provider concern for developmental delay. To gain insight int…

I wrote a novel using AI. Writers must accept artificial intelligence – but we are as valuable as ever | Stephen Marche

I recently heard an exchange at a playground that should worry the executives at AI companies more than any analyst’s prediction of a bubble. A boy and a girl, maybe 10 years old, were fighting. “That’s AI! That’s AI!” the girl was shouting. What she meant was that the boy was indulging a new and particular breed of nonsense: language that sounds meaningful but has no connection to reality. The children have figured the new world out quickly, as they do. Artificial intelligence is here to stay, neither as an apo…

OpenAI shelves Stargate UK in blow to Britain’s AI ambitions

OpenAI has put on hold plans for a landmark UK investment citing high energy costs and regulation, in a blow to the government which has put AI at the centre of its growth strategy. Stargate UK was a part of the UK-US AI deal announced last September, in which US companies appeared to commit £31bn to the UK’s tech sector, part of a larger series of investments intended to “mainline AI” into the British economy. It came as the Labour government seeks to make AI and datacentres the engine of its growth plans, alon…

Elon Musk’s xAI sues Colorado over new rules for artificial intelligence

Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence company, xAI, has filed a lawsuit against the state of Colorado over a new AI law set to take effect in June. The suit seeks to block the state from enforcing the law, which would impose new requirements on AI systems to protect state residents from “algorithmic discrimination” in sectors such as education, employment, healthcare, housing and financial services. Colorado was the first state to pass a comprehensive bill to regulate AI. The company claims the law infringes on it…
