Artificial intelligence not recommended for children The use of generative artificial intelligence chatbot applications according to experts could cause cognitive and learning deficits, language delays, overweight and obesity and therefore would be discouraged for children; moreover these applications capable of generating images capture the attention of young people by exploiting the vulnerabilities of a mind that is still developing. As for adults a recent study revealed that it is now no longer possible to distinguish AI-generated music (assuming it can even be called musical art) from that composed by humans. The data centers that support generative artificial intelligence consume large amounts of energy and water for cooling computer boards, and furthermore these electronic centers take up land that could be used for other purposes. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Nov 20, 2025

Energy from the sea with a flexible rubber tube It is possible to produce clean energy from the sea using a large flexible tube made of natural rubber anchored to the seabed flexible and durable with reinforcing rubber tendons inside that floats following the motion of the waves, moving somewhat figuratively like a "surfing anaconda" floating on the waves; at least according to English researchers who claim that water enters the tube inflating it. When the speed of the ocean waves approaches the internal speed that inflates the water in the tube, which moves while floating on the waves it produces the transfer of resonance energy with pressures on the structure. This project started sixteen years ago utilizing decades of research, and has since undergone significant improvements reducing the amount of material needed to produce the tube and enhancing its capacity to generate energy. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Nov 01, 2025 n: 6094 A disaster and extreme event warning system Providing news twenty-four hours in advance of possible disasters and extreme events through a surveillance system with appropriate alerts could reduce damage by over thirty percent, at least according to international organizations which emphasize that no country is immune and that climate change is pushing the planet to its limits with unstoppable ecosystem degradation. To report on a different note yet staying within the realm of technology, that some even claim to integrate artificial intelligence into every aspect of the economy, but research has shown that if one tries to verify the reliability of the responses provided by well-known applications supported by generative artificial intelligence, reliability is not guaranteed, and in fact one can also encounter a variety of mistakes and absurdities. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Oct 23, 2025 n: 6086 A law regulating chatbots in California Operators of AI-based chatbots will be required to regulate them to safeguard interactions with users, at least according to the intentions of a law enacted in California; as recently online users have increasingly been using these artificial dialogue systems to look for accurate information despite the growing misinformation associated with these chatbots. There have been definitely unpleasant incidents involving young people whose attention was caught by generative AI, and therefore there is an effort to regulate chatbots so that they cannot interact with children or vulnerable individuals to induce them to extreme actions; consequently chatbot operators will need to adopt safety measures and provide a pathway that helps address potential tragedies and harm to users. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Oct 14, 2025 n: 6078 Investigation on deepfake videos on social media platforms A nonprofit organization reportedly identified over sixty deepfake videos on well-known social media platforms, primarily targeting the seniors, promoting fake government spending cards and healthcare payment, reaching tens of thousands of platform users and even using the U.S. faces of well-known personalities. The phenomenon of deepfakes is generally increasing worldwide and it appears that in the so-called dark web, these videos, created using generative artificial intelligence that was once very expensive can now be ordered at low cost. Another issue to highlight is the intent to use, for example, fake actors in videos driven by artificial intelligence with a high degree of realism, following a more or less successful series of presenters, then voices and music of artificial singers, in addition to texts of all kinds and from every cultural sector. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Oct 03, 2025 n: 6069 China intends to reduce pollutant emissions The Chinese authorities have reportedly stated that they want to reduce pollutant emissions with a plan to enhance electric power production capacity, using wind technologies and solar panels, by six times compared to the levels of 2020 within the next ten years in order to support domestic energy demand by over thirty percent. These initiatives seem to be perhaps planned in response to denialist attitudes regarding climate change from other major global powers (which are not very environmentally friendly), but China alone accounts for about thirty-three percent of pollutant global emissions, and some have long argued that its renewable energy supply chain is not very sustainable; moreover, the initiatives taken to reduce pollution through industrial restructuring by relocating emissions to other countries are indeed questionable. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Sep 26, 2025 n: 6063 Low storage capacity for CCS plants It is estimated that globally that if carbon capture and storage (CCS) plants were used at full capacity they could store around one thousand four hundred tons of carbon dioxide much less than previously thought (twelve thousand billion tons), at least according to researchers who point out that it could only slightly reduce global temperatures compared to what was believed. The use of these plants was suggested because merely reducing emissions was not enough to meet the set goals and that other technologies needed to be utilized, but CCS evidently functions inadequately without considering that they consume an enormous amount of energy in addition to being very expensive; then they could be an excuse to continue exploiting fossil fuels instead of investing in renewables and sustainable. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Sep 08, 2025 n: 6047 Unstable equilibrium with artificial intelligence It was said that the AI sector needed to be regulated and brought under control, but apparently it continues to grow at a rapid pace with models that some even define as "Machiavellian" in their ability to manipulate minds, and with a future that seems increasingly difficult to balance with artificial intelligence. The machine is able to simulate having a sort of consciousness or perhaps it is the person who tends to give it a personality, posing a danger to society that these artificial models could have emotions; then one might think that they need rights attributed to humans and animals, even to have emotional dependencies. For example one must be careful not to be deceived by persuasive language that simulates a varied personality, which recalls giving a sense of reality while also exploiting artistic abilities. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Set 04, 2025 n: 6044 Scientific data on European climate changes European authorities are said to be intent on equipping themselves with scientific data on climate and weather changes of their own rather than relying on that coming from the United States, which has historically been free and openly accessible worldwide, but recently significant cuts across various scientific sectors have made some so-called relevant data unavailable. The alternative view regarding the impact of climate pollution emissions provided by a U.S. energy department is questionable, then researchers interested in climate change have been penalized, with many web pages on the subject being deleted in addition to other discouraging actions. It has long been well known that investing to prevent climate change costs much less than intervening in extreme events which often also result in many casualties, injuries, and prolonged stress. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Aug 02, 2025 n: 6017 Development times of general artificial intelligence There will probably be robots capable of learning and equipped with general artificial intelligence (AGI) that can surpass biological intelligence in about five years although some say that the time needed to develop these humanoids will have to be extended, nevertheless it is clear that sooner or later human intelligence will have to compete with artificial intelligence and then will most likely succumb as happened with the game of chess, considering the difference between brute calculation and the actual thoughtful thinking. This is a disturbing event that raises the question of whether it will be possible to keep this type of "soulless" technology under control, and then there is the unknown of which ethics will guide these humanoids and in what direction. The competition among superpowers to develop this technological sector is another problem to be addressed. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jul 28, 2025 n: 6012 Technology and publications * The author doesn't assume some kind of responsibility for the bad use of the articles councils (all rights are reserved) |
