Instagram is adding new limits on the kinds of content teens can see on its platform with an update to its 'teen accounts' settings
Instagram will now be PG-13 for teens with Meta’s latest update
NEW YORK — Instagram is further cracking down on what millions of young people can see on the platform, aligning its “Teen Accounts” safety settings with the guidelines for PG-13 movies.The Meta-owned platform launched teen accounts last year, its most dramatic effort yet to protect young people following years of criticism from parents and lawmakers over the app’s impact on teens’ mental health and well-being. The settings implemented default privacy protections and content limits for many of Instagram’s teen users, restricting posts related to violence, cosmetic procedures or self-harm.Tuesday’s update goes a step further. Instagram will not promote and may even hide posts featuring strong language, or those which could encourage “harmful behaviors” such as content...

Scientists make embryos from human skin DNA for first time
WASHINGTON — US scientists have, for the first time, made early-stage human embryos by manipulating DNA taken from people's skin cells and then fertilising it with sperm.The technique could overcome infertility due to old age or disease, by using almost any cell in the body as the starting point for life.It could even allow same-sex couples to have a genetically related child.The method requires significant refinement — which could take a decade — before a fertility clinic could even consider using it.Experts said it was an impressive breakthrough, but there needed to be an open discussion with the public about what science was making possible.Reproduction used to be a simple story of man's sperm meets woman's egg. They fuse to make an embryo, and nine months later a baby...

US Energy Secretary Chris Wright spoke to BBC Climate Editor Justin Rowlatt dureing an interview in Brussels
US energy chief says nuclear fusion will soon power the world
BRUSSELS – Don't worry too much about planet-warming emissions, the US Energy Secretary has told the BBC, because within five years AI will have enabled the harnessing of nuclear fusion – the energy that powers the sun and stars.Chris Wright said in an interview that he expected the technology to deliver power to electricity grids around the world within eight to 15 years and that it would rapidly become a big driver of greenhouse gas reductions.His claims will likely surprise even enthusiasts for the technology.Harnessing the energy released when atoms fuse together could produce vast amounts of low carbon energy but most scientists believe commercial fusion power plants are still a long way off."With artificial intelligence and what's going on at the national labs and...

Newspapers are banking on online revenue to replace falling circulation
Publishers fear AI summaries are hitting online traffic
LONDON — When actress Sorcha Cusack left the BBC drama Father Brown in January, it made headlines, including for the newspapers owned by Reach, among them The Mirror, and the Daily Express.But the story did not generate the traction the Reach newspapers would have expected a year ago, or even at the start of the year.Reach put this down to AI Overviews (AIO) – the AI summary at the top of the Google results page.Instead of clicking through to the story on a Reach newspaper site, readers were happy with the AI overview.The feature is a concern for newspapers and other media publishers, who have already seen much of their advertising revenue siphoned off by social media.In a tough market, readers coming via Google search is a valuable source of traffic."A major worry, backed by some...

Google told to pay $425m in privacy lawsuit
WASHINGTON — A US federal court has told Google to pay $425m (£316.3m) for breaching users' privacy by collecting data from millions of users even after they had turned off a tracking feature in their Google accounts.The verdict comes after a group of users brought the case claiming Google accessed users' mobile devices to collect, save and use their data, in violation of privacy assurances in its Web & App Activity setting.They had been seeking more than $31bn in damages."This decision misunderstands how our products work, and we will appeal it. Our privacy tools give people control over their data, and when they turn off personalisation, we honour that choice," a Google spokesperson told the BBC.The jury in the case found the internet search giant liable to two of...

BOSTON — OpenAI has announced a series of parental controls for its AI chatbot ChatGPT, which includes notifying parents when their child is distressed.It comes after a lawsuit was filed against the company and its CEO Sam Altman by the parents of 16-year-old Adam Raine, who committed suicide in April.The parents alleged that ChatGPT created a psychological dependency in Adam, coaching him to plan and take his own life earlier this year and even wrote a suicide note for him.OpenAI says new parental controls that will allow adults to manage which features their children can use on the service will be made available within the next month.OpenAI’s controls will let parents link their account with their children’s and allow them to manage which features their child can access.

Although Google will not be forced to sell of its Chrome browser or Android, it will have to make certain search data available to qualified competitors to promote competition
Google will not be forced to sell off Chrome or Android, judge rules in landmark antitrust ruling
WASHINGTON — A court will not force Google to sell off its Chrome browser or Android, a federal judge said in a court filing on Tuesday. The decision serves as a significant win for the tech company, which has avoided the most extreme possible outcome from a landmark antitrust case that determined the company was operating an illegal online search monopoly.Although Google will not be forced to sell of its Chrome browser or Android, it will have to make certain search data available to qualified competitors to promote competition. It will also be barred from entering into or maintaining exclusive contracts related to the distribution of services like Chrome, Search, the Google Assistant and its Gemini app.Those agreements provide a significant source of revenue for Google and broad access...

Data centres, like this one Google is building in Hertfordshire, are becoming a more familiar sight across the UK
Data centers to be expanded across UK as concerns mount
LONDON — The number of data centers in the UK is set to increase by almost a fifth, according to figures shared with BBC News.Data centers are giant warehouses full of powerful computers used to run digital services from movie streaming to online banking - there are currently an estimated 477 of them in the UK.Construction researchers Barbour ABI have analysed planning documents and say that number is set to jump by almost 100, as the growth in artificial intelligence (AI) increases the need for processing power.The majority are due to be built in the next five years. However, there are concerns about the huge amount of energy and water the new data centres will consume.Some experts have warned it could drive up prices paid by consumers.More than half of the new data centres would be in...

WASHINGTON — Billionaire SpaceX, Tesla, and X owner Elon Musk says he plans to sue Apple for not featuring X and its Grok artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot app in its top recommended apps in its App Store.Musk posted the comments on X late Monday, saying, “Hey @Apple App Store, why do you refuse to put either X or Grok in your ‘Must Have’ section when X is the #1 news app in the world and Grok is #5 among all apps?
