security.\nAnd to prove it, the Creative Design Adaptive Manufacturing Lab printed out a bust of 1News reporter Logan Church, which could successfully break into some, but not all, cell phones that used facial recognition as security.\nThat 3D model is then put onto a computer, tidied up, and 3D printed - creating a hyper-realistic real-world model.\nADVERTISEMENTAnd testing it on low-to-mid range phones, it managed to fool facial recognition security (higher-end phones 1News tested were not so easily tricked).\n“It's not that we are trying to break into phones; we're trying to test the limits of this technology for real-world, human-centric problems we can solve.”</p>"}}}},{"node":{"postTitle":"Artificial Intelligence pioneered in Newcastle could see hundreds more organ transplants

marriage rates reflect a people’s deep pessimism”) doesn’t seem to have been mentioned here yet, but the implications of the latest demographic data released by the PRC are truly enormous.\nAs usual with any data emanating from the PRC, these numbers probably need to be treated with a certain degree of skepticism, though it’s difficult to see what sort of hidden agenda the CCP might have in actually releasing them.\nThis was of course the main motivation of the PRC in belatedly scrapping its notorious one-child policy in 2015, but as they quickly found out it has proved much more difficult to convince young women to start having babies again — particularly when the future appears so bleak under Xi’s dictatorial direction.\nThis is also borne out by the plunging rates of first marriages in China, down nearly 60% since 2013 when Xi completed his ascent to power.\nThe demographic problem here is that China’s population is rapidly aging at the same time it is now forecast to start shrinking rapidly, particularly if the fertility rate remains less than half that needed to maintain a stable population:</p>"}}}},{"node":{"postTitle":"Microsoft Unveils Kosmos-1, A New AI
