Three recent developments in AI – in video games, wearable technology and education – suggest that building something like Stephenson’s Young Lady’s Illustrated Primer is possible.

One person said it’s crucial people who’ve experienced homelessness are central to service design and policy, and ‘it’s not coming from people in really nice suits’.
Under a Labor government, coal and gas have a fast-declining role to play in Australia’s energy mix – and nuclear has none at all.
In its previous term, Labor laid the groundwork for stronger climate action. Now, in an expanded majority government, it has the chance to capitalise.
It might be tempting for Labor to continue a ‘small target’ when it comes to Donald Trump. But the new government needs the courage to ask difficult questions.
The ‘Trump effect’ has influenced elections in Canada and Australia. But the New Zealand left can’t bank on the same thing happening here.
The Coalition should resist seeing Trump as a natural disaster over which they had no control. Peter Dutton made many other missteps that doomed his party’s chances.
The Albanese government is returned for a second term with an increased majority. It’s time to make it count.
Both Labor and the Coalition say their energy policies are the best way to bring household power costs down – but which side is right?
It’s clear the second Trump administration is radically different from the first. This has rattled the right of Australian politics and worked to Labor’s advantage.
Labor costs – especially for unskilled roles – are climbing fast.
Australia is running out of affordable, safe places to live – and climate change is getting worse. It makes sense to deal with both crises together.
Labor’s proposal should help address some skills shortages in the sector. But it will be a long time before the benefits flow through to housing.
A Dutton government would introduce new laws to disrupt organised crime and spend $355 million on a strike team to fight the illicit drug trade.
If Dutton is serious about his tax plan, this is the most radical proposal we’ve heard for the election, apart from the nuclear policy.
The recent track attacking Labor proves one thing: the Coalition doesn’t understand hip-hop.
More than 120,000 people are homeless in Australia. The problem can be solved, but it will take more than just building more homes
The major parties have announced housing policies that take a more novel approach to improving affordability than previously.
Labor and the Coalition have both acknowledged the cost-of-living crisis facing many Australians in separate tax policies unveiled on Sunday.
Bracket creep means the average tax rate will increase by about 4% over the next decade. But a low wage earner on $45,000 will see a jump of almost 7%.
