CSIRO looks to next-gen AI agents to fulfil 'copilot' promise
- CSIRO participated in the six-month government Copilot trial and analyzed the tool's effectiveness.
- While M365 Copilot provided measurable improvements in certain areas, it fell short in areas requiring domain-specific knowledge and nuanced decision-making.
- Users reported a productivity paradox, where time saved through automation was offset by the need for verification and correction.
- CSIRO sees the rise of more advanced, autonomous AI agents as the future, surpassing the capabilities of current copilots.

New fast radio burst detector is reshaping our understanding of the universe
- Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are brief yet intense bursts of radio waves originating from deep space, discovered in 2007 and mostly coming from beyond the Milky Way.
- Discoveries, such as locating FRB origins to specific galaxies like FRB 121102, have provided insight into the mysterious nature of FRBs.
- The Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) is revolutionizing FRB research by enabling rapid detection and precise localization of FRBs.
- The Commensal Real-time ASKAP Fast Transients (CRAFT) survey using ASKAP has led to the discovery of multiple FRBs since 2016.
- The introduction of the CRACO system has significantly enhanced FRB detection, enabling the identification of over 20 new FRBs and other celestial events.
- CRACO's ability to detect long-duration transients and study their behaviors is expanding the scope of astrophysical research.
- CRACO's impact extends to studying interplanetary scintillation, high-redshift FRBs, and enhancing the discovery of cosmic phenomena.
- With CRACO integrated into CSIRO's Australia Telescope National Facility, astronomers globally will have access to its advanced capabilities.
- CRACO's development, supported by grants, will continue to provide astronomers with tools to unlock new cosmic discoveries and understand elusive signals.
- The ongoing research and advancements in FRB detection are crucial in unraveling fundamental questions about the universe's mysteries.

Scientists warn of major weaknesses in deepfake detection tools
- A study by CSIRO and SKKU found that none of the 16 leading deepfake detectors tested could consistently detect real-world deepfakes.
- Deepfake detection tools are facing major weaknesses, making it easier for AI-generated fake images, videos, and audio to spread false information.
- Current detectors fail due to limited scope and specific types of fake content they can effectively detect, emphasizing the need for more advanced strategies.
- Researchers suggest using multi-method detection systems, including fingerprinting techniques and larger, more diverse datasets, to improve deepfake detection.

QUT Researchers Unveil Innovative Biosensor for Detecting Rare Earth Elements
- Researchers from Queensland University of Technology have unveiled a biosensor capable of detecting rare earth elements that has the potential to transform e-waste recycling and extraction of critical materials.
- The biosensor technology speaks to an urgent need within the industry to devise more sustainable, cost-effective methods for identifying and extracting these materials.
- The biosensor technology was developed by fusing a lanthanide-binding protein known as LanM with an antibiotic-degrading enzyme known as beta-lactamase which enables the protein to act as a biological switch that activates solely in the presence of lanthanides.
- The interdisciplinary research team collaborated with prominent researchers from CSIRO Advanced Engineering Biology Future Science Platform and Clarkson University in the USA and their joint efforts culminated in the publication of their findings in the esteemed journal Angewandte Chemie International.
- The researchers' biosensor can be used to identify and extract a broad range of metals and it is adaptable to implement in various sectors from medical to aerospace and defense to environmental inquiries.
- The team behind the development of the biosensor is eyeing adaptation into not just detecting problems, but also the recovery of valuable minerals such as rare earth elements, directly from the ocean water which has enormous implications for marine resource management.
- Any potential solution such as this will encourage the development of circular economic practices, in which waste generation is minimized and valuable resources are captured, recycled and reused.
- The technology of molecular nanomachines built by engineering proteins is an exciting frontier that can redefine industrial applications.
- The QUT biosensor breakthrough underscores the vital role of interdisciplinary collaboration in solving some of the pressing challenges of our time, and could transform traditional metal recovery systems.
- Thus QUT development of the biosensor is a testament to the potential of synthetic biology in shaping the future of technology, and the power of innovation to change the landscape of industries reliant on rare earth elements, thereby fortifying the link between scientific discovery and societal advancements.

New tech ‘sifts’ signals from space to detect mysterious fast radio bursts
- CSIRO's ASKAP radio telescope has developed new technology, CRACO, to aid in the search for the source of fast radio bursts (FRBs).
- FRBs are powerful pulses of radio-frequency light lasting milliseconds but releasing as much energy as the Sun does over many days.
- CRACO has already discovered 2 FRBs, 2 sporadically emitting neutron stars, and improved the location data of 4 pulsars.
- The technology sifts through trillions of pixels received by the telescope, enabling faster detection and analysis of cosmic signals.

You need a safe word CSIRO data experts say to avoid scammers and deepfakes
- In an age where misinformation and deepfakes blur the lines between fact and fiction, identifying scams has never been more challenging.
- Shoppers, particularly millennials and Gen Z consumers, face heightened risks during Christmas and Boxing Day, with one in five people unknowingly purchasing products endorsed by deepfake celebrity endorsements.
- Experts recommend having a family safe word as a proactive measure to verify the authenticity of requests for money, as scammers can use AI voice cloning to convincingly impersonate loved ones.
- Other tips to protect against cyber threats include verifying caller identities, enabling multi-factor authentication, turning on banking push notifications, and being cautious about the information shared online.

75 years ago today, Australia’s first computer booted up
- Australia's first computer, CSIR Mk1 (later renamed CSIRAC), was switched on on 14 November 1949.
- Designed and built by Trevor Pearcey with help from Maston Beard and Geoff Hill, CSIRAC was the 4th stored-memory electronic computer in the world.
- It became fully operational in 1951, could perform 1,000 operations per second, and stored about 2 kilobytes of data.
- CSIRAC holds records as the first computer to play electronic music and do numerical weather forecasting, and it is the only surviving first-generation computer worldwide.
