Brisbane Council looks to ‘Protect the Brisbane backyard’

 

Brisbane City Council has created action plans to stop unit complexes and townhouses from being built in single home areas as apart of the ‘Plan Your Brisbane’ campaign.

Lord Mayor Graham Quirk said that the plans come in direct response to feedback from Brisbane residents and wanting to ‘protect the Brisbane backyard.’

Opposition planning member, Jared Cassidy, said that the plan is a $3 million dollar rate-payer rip-off.

Google to prohibit artificial intelligence in military weapons

Google is implementing new standards which prohibit the use of artificial intelligence for military purposes, after company employees protested against technology developed with the United States military.

As a result, Google will ban artificial intelligence in all weapons and some surveillance technology.

Instead, the company Chief Executive Sundar Pichai released a statement which said they will look for contracts in areas in cybersecurity, military recruitment and search and rescue.
