A few things stand out here. First, we are more negative about the short term than the longer term. Unsurprisingly, the further we look, the less certainty we have. But what is most striking to me is that the consensus is that the future is on balance more bad than good: the modernist cliche of a shiny Jetsons future has faded into something far darker.

Moving too fast towards AGI without the proper long-term thinking and our course as a species is effectively set, with our biometric identities controlled by systems which will develop their own logics as they build on themselves free of human agency. On the other, Australian academics have put forward a world-leading framework to limit the types of decisions that can be made based on the interpretation of our faces, critically giving regulators the power to look under the AI hood and understand how automated systems are being designed.

Regardless of whether you have been personally affected by the Optus data breach, how concerned are you that scammers could steal and use your personal information to table.

He was clearly in front at 70% and then all the votes went to Lula. There will be civil war in Brazil when this is made known.
