Shortage in cybersecurity professionals leaving Australians at risk

Google is reportedly teaming up with MediaTek for its next generation of AI processors, signaling a potential shift in strategy. While Google has touted its in-house Tensor chip for Pixel phones, partnering with MediaTek could significantly reduce costs and expand Google's AI reach to a broader range of Android devices. This move could democratize AI, bringing advanced features to more affordable phones, but also presents challenges in maintaining the premium cachet of Tensor. Will this partnership prove to be a stroke of genius or a necessary compromise?

AI search engines promised to revolutionize how we find information online, offering instant, intelligent answers. But a new study suggests that these AI-powered tools are prone to errors, sometimes getting things spectacularly wrong. The Tow Center for Digital Journalism tested AI search engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity AI, finding inaccurate answers were surprisingly common, with the AI confidently presenting made-up information. While AI search is powerful, traditional search engines remain more reliable for factual accuracy. The study urges caution and critical evaluation of AI-generated answers.
