AI LAWS
The Government is cracking down on artificial intelligence, proposing new laws that could force people that use AI to be more up front about it. Chances are, you've probably come across Artificial Intelligence in your everyday life, whether it's an NPC in a video game, watching something recommended to you on YouTube, or even using a voice assistant. But a new survey says that we might be exposed to AI even more than we realise. In fact, it found that a third of Aussie businesses were using AI without letting their employees or customers know about it and the government thinks that's a bit of a problem. So it's proposing new rules that would force them to be open about when and how they use AI. The government says it's important Australia has some "guardrails" in place because we've already seen some of the ways AI can be harmful like cases where AI has been unfair to job seekers and falsely accused students of cheating, so it wants us to be able to use these powerful new tools in a safe way.

PLASTIC POLLUTION
A new study has found the world is producing almost 52 million tonnes of plastic pollution every year. Researchers from the University of Leeds in the UK looked only at plastic that goes into the environment, so not plastic that goes into landfill or that is burned, and they say they found it in the world's deepest oceans and the highest mountains, there were even traces of plastic inside of people's bodies! They reckon our yearly output is enough to fill New York's Central Park to the height of the Empire State Building.

PARALYMPICS
Aussie Alexa Leary has broken the same world record twice in the same day at the Paralympics! Not only did she win gold in the women's 100 metre freestyle s9 final, she beat her own world record that she'd already broken in her heat earlier that day. Meanwhile, Qian Yang took the gold in the women's singles WS10 table tennis comp.

SLEEK GEEKS
If you've got a passion for science, storytelling, and getting creative, you've probably heard of the Sleek Geeks Science Eureka Prize. And this year's winners have just been announced. 11-year old Cate here took out out the top prize in the Primary School category for her video explaining why popcorn pops. Over in the secondary school category, 14 year old Iestyn took home the chocolates for his film explaining how the sun makes its energy. Each entry had to be under 2 minutes long and this year the theme was "energy", which inspired all kinds of ideas, from how caffeine works, to the best angles to install solar panels, and even how food is turned into energy.
