Exclusive-Australia says it may go after app stores, search engines in AI age crackdown
Australia's internet regulator said it may push search engines and app stores to block artificial intelligence services that fail to verify user ages after a Reuters review found more than half had not made public any steps to comply by a deadline next week. The warning reflects one of the most aggressive efforts globally to rein in AI companies, which face a growing number of lawsuits for failing to stop - and even encouraging - self-harm or violence while researchers caution that such platforms are more harmful to youth mental health than social media. Australia in December became the first country to ban social media for teenagers, citing mental health concerns, prompting an outpouring of world leaders saying they would do the same.

A prehistoric skeleton found deep in a flooded Mexican cave was likely placed there in a ritual
A prehistoric skeleton has been found in an intricate underwater cave system along Mexico’s Caribbean coast, an area that flooded at the end of the last ice age 8,000 years ago, according to a cave-diving archaeologist who made the find with others. Octavio del Río, who collaborates with the National Institute of Anthropology and History, said it is the 11th such skeleton found in the caves over the last three decades between the tourist destinations of Tulum and Playa del Carmen. Del Río told The Associated Press this week that the skeleton was found in a flooded cave about 26 feet (8 meters) below the surface after swimming about 656 feet (200 meters) through the cave.
