A screenshot from Comment Robot's public Weibo profile page. Fair Use. “Comment Robot” (评论罗伯特), an AI Chatbot, has sparked quite some amusement and rage on Weibo since December 2023, as it has kept poking many Weibo users with humorous, heart-warming, but sometimes inappropriate or even offensive comments. When it first emerged in early December 2023, some users with very few followers were puzzled as to why their Weibo updates had caught the attention of a “Big V” – Weibo's official verified user and opinion leader with many followers – who had zero connection with them online. After local me...

How much of our legislation comes from the European Union? It’s been a lingering debate for many years now with multiple Eurosceptic and even Europhile politicians claiming the EU imposes 80% of its laws on member states. The problem with quantifying the amount of laws is finding accurate and recent figures. Previous studies that looked into this found the EU’s influence to be significantly less: more like 20-25%, according to this French study from 2009. Most studies do maintain that while the EU heavily regulates some areas, the answer is not that straightforward. That's because, in some are...

By The Conversation Michael Legg, UNSW Sydney and Vicki McNamara, UNSW SydneyWe’ve seen deepfake, explicit images of celebrities, created by artificial intelligence (AI). AI has also played a hand in creating music, driverless race cars and spreading misinformation, among other things. It’s hardly surprising, then, that AI also has a strong impact on our legal systems. It’s well known that courts must decide disputes based on the law, which is presented by lawyers to the court as part of a client’s case. It’s therefore highly concerning that fake law, invented by AI, is being used in legal dis...

Washington (AFP) - Un Californien est devenu le premier Américain inculpé pour l'importation présumée illégale aux Etats-Unis d'un gaz à effet de serre très polluant, ont rapporté des responsables lundi.

HFCs are potent greenhouse gases commonly found in refrigerators and air conditioners, building insulation, fire extinguishing systems, and aerosols. They can be hundreds to thousands of time...

Spain is banning some short-haul domestic flights as part of its plan to reduce carbon emissions. Flights with a rail alternative that takes less than two and a half hours will no longer be allowed, “except in cases of connection with hub airports that link with international routes”. The restriction is part of an agreement made in Congress by Spain’s coalition government. The country has been considering a ban since 2021 as part of its 2050 climate action plan. It comes after the French government officially banned domestic flights for journeys that can be made in less than two and a half hou...
