Australia’s proposed digital duty of care is one of the most important online safety reforms now moving through the policy pipeline. It is not just another content takedown scheme. It is an attempt to shift online safety law from a reactive model, where platforms respond after harm has already happened, to a systems-based model, where… Read more

The single most cost-effective frontier model on the market is Anthropic’s Claude Sonnet 5.5, while DeepSeek V4.1 Flash offers the best absolute value per dollar for near-frontier baseline performance. When balancing high benchmark intelligence with low API cost, the AI market splits into three distinct value tiers: true premium frontier systems optimized for efficiency, enterprise… Read more

There is no single hallucination rate for frontier AI models, as a model’s tendency to invent information depends entirely on the complexity of the task, the domain, and whether the system is “grounded” in source documents. [1, 2] Across industry benchmarks, the aggregate hallucination rate for frontier models (such as GPT-6, Claude 5/5.5, and Gemini… Read more

The backlash against AI data centers is no longer a fringe objection to new technology. It has become one of the central political, environmental and planning conflicts of the AI boom. Communities that once treated data centers as quiet industrial facilities are now asking harder questions: who pays for the electricity upgrades, who gets the… Read more

Australia is preparing for what could become one of the most consequential parliamentary examinations of artificial intelligence safety yet held anywhere in the world. On Tuesday, 6 October 2026, the Australian Parliament’s Joint Select Committee on Artificial Intelligence is scheduled to hold a public hearing in Sydney. Among the organisations appearing will be OpenAI, Anthropic,… Read more

Meta Muse is Meta’s new personal AI agent: a tool designed not just to answer questions, but to take action across the web and connected apps. It can research, plan, draft, browse, fill out forms, make purchases, monitor information, organise reminders and keep working in the background after you close the app. Used well, Muse… Read more

Yann LeCun’s contribution to artificial intelligence is hard to separate from the modern AI era itself. He is best known as one of the central figures behind deep learning, the inventor and populariser of convolutional neural networks for practical vision systems, a pioneer of self-supervised learning, and an institution-builder who helped move neural networks from… Read more

World models are changing robotics because they give machines something closer to a practical imagination. A robot no longer has to act only from a narrow command, a fixed script or a single camera frame. It can use a learned model of the physical world to predict what might happen next, test possible actions before… Read more

Tesla’s Cybercab is not just another electric vehicle with a ride-hailing app wrapped around it. If Tesla can scale it safely and legally, it is a direct challenge to the cost structure, service model and competitive logic of Uber, Lyft, taxis and every other company that has treated the human driver as the unavoidable centre… Read more

Tavus’s announcement of Griffin, a real-time video model it calls a Human Interaction Model, is a useful warning shot for AI safety. The headline claim is striking: in a one-minute live video-call study, 26 of 54 participants reportedly believed they had spoken with a real person rather than an AI system. Tavus describes this as… Read more
