Artificial intelligence (AI) is arguably the most rapidly advancing technology humans have ever developed. A year ago, you
wouldn’t often hear AI come up in a regular conversation, but today it seems there’s constant talk about how generative AI tools like
ChatGPT and DALL-E will affect the future of work, the spread of information, and more. A major question that has thus far been
almost entirely unexamined is how this AI-dominated future will affect people’s minds.
There’s been some research into how using AI in their jobs will affect people mentally, but there isn’t yet an understanding of
how simply living amongst so much AI-generated content and systems will affect people’s sense of the world. How is AI going to
change individuals and society in the not-too-distant future?
AI will obviously make it easier to produce disinformation. That will affect people’s sense of trust as they’re scrolling on
social media. AI can also allow someone to imitate your loved ones, which further erodes people’s general ability to trust what was
once unquestionable.

(§1º)Budelli Island is part of the La Maddalena
Archipelago and is home to Spiaggia Rosa - a stretch of
pink sand that's been protected by the Italian government
since 1992.
(§2º)The pink shade is caused by the crushed shells of a
micro-organism mixing with the sand when it dies. But
when the beach started to lose its rose-tinted hue
because of over-tourism, visitors were banned in a bit to
protect the pink sand.
(§3º)The colour has since returned but a new wave of
unauthorised daytrippers are threatening the pink shores.
While it is strictly forbidden to step foot on the beach,
holidaymakers are able to admire the pink sand from the
safety of a boat. But according to one expert, some
holidaymakers are flouting the ban.
(§4º)In an article in the Times, Fabrizio Fonnesu, director
of the Maddalena archipelago national park said: "The
beach is again in danger as people arrive by boat,
clamber up the beach, then post photos, which allow us
to fine them up to 500 euros (£430)."
(§5º)Tourists who've attempted to take Sardinia's pink
sand away as a souvenir can up fined up to 3,500 euros (£3,007). And according to the Guardian, a couple were
fined 1,000 euros (£860) in 2001 after they were caught
filling a plastic bottle with sand.
(§6º)Brits who want to visit the island will need to book
themself onto a private boat tour or a ferry service to
glimpse this secluded spot from afar. Other beaches on
the island have also brought in measures to minimise the
impact of tourists. Only 1,600 people can visit Cala Sisine
while Santa Maria Navarrese only permits 1,300 euros.
(§7º)Fewer still are able to visit Cala Mariolu, with only
550 people allowed in per day and each having to pay a
1 euro fee. Elsewhere, Pelosa Beach has banned towels
and asked visitors to instead bring mats which gather
less sand. Anyone visiting will have to pay 3.50 euros.
(§8º)Meanwhile, tourists wanting to visit the beaches of
Cala Coticcio and Cala Brigantina in the archipelago of
La Maddalena will have to pay 3 euros per person for
access each day after new rules were brought in. The
archipelago itself is a national park and only accessible
with a guide, which will cost 25 euros for five hours.
(§9º)And anyone caught visiting the archipelago without a
guide could face prosecution. Just 60 people will be
permitted on each beach per day, as the local authorities
look at ways to protect the sites from the impact of
tourism.
(§10º)Slots must be booked in advance by contacting a
local guide but it is hoped that an app will be launched
soon. Here are several other pink beaches
holidaymakers can visit across Europe - and one's in the
UK. And a beach in the Canary Islands even has sand
that looks like popcorn, due to the shape of the coral.

As new technologies take on increasingly humanlike
qualities, there’s been a push to make them genderless. Apple’s
Siri digital assistant unveiled a gender-neutral option last year,
and when asked about their gender identities, the AI chatbots
ChatGPT and Google Bard each reply, “I do not have a gender.”
There have been concerns over gendering technology,
since doing so reinforces societal stereotypes. That happens
because the stereotypes commonly associated with men, such as
competitiveness and dominance, are more valued than those
associated with women. That is likely true, says Ashley Martin, a
professor at Stanford University. “People are stereotyping their
gendered objects in very traditional ways,” she says.
Removing gender from the picture altogether seems like a
simple way to fix this. Yet, as Martin has found in her latest
research, conducted with Malia Mason, of Columbia Universty,
gender is one of the fundamental ways people form connections
with objects, particularly those designed to evoke human
characteristics.
Throughout the experiments, Martin and Mason found
that gender increased users’ feelings of attachment to devices
such as digital voice assistants –– and their interest in purchasing
them. For example, participants said they would be less likely to
buy a genderless voice assistant than versions with male or
female voices.
