AI job automation is ‘inevitable’, says tech advisor – BBC News
A new personalised vaccine given in combination with a drug has stopped skin cancer returning in patients during a trial, representing a potentially watershed moment in cancer treatment. Scientists used mRNA technology, which was used for some Covid-19 vaccines.
But that technology – and vaccines more generally – have become increasingly controversial in the United States since the Covid-19 pandemic. The Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr, is a vaccine sceptic.
In August 2025 cancelled $500m (£376m) in funding for mRNA vaccine research. The move impacted 22 projects being led by major pharmaceutical companies, including Pfizer and Moderna, for vaccines against bird flu and other viruses, according to Kennedy’s department.
We speak to Tom Whipple, host of the BBC’s Inside Science programme, about the science of this new vaccine. And we ask how funding cuts for vaccine research could impact health outcomes not just for Americans, but for the world.

Historic first as Chinese robot beats Usain Bolt’s 100m world record at Beijing games | BBC News
A Chinese humanoid robot has run 100 metres in 9.39 seconds in a preliminary heat at the World Humanoid Robot Games in Beijing, surpassing the men’s world record time held by Jamaican sprinting great Usain Bolt.
Tiangong Ultra, developed by the Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Center, won its heat at the opening of the games’ second edition. The robot overtook smartphone maker Honor’s Lightning near the finish after falling behind early in the race. Lightning finished in 9.47 seconds, also faster than the 9.58-second record Bolt set at the 2009 World Athletics Championships in Berlin.
The results marked a remarkable improvement from last year’s inaugural games, when Tiangong Ultra won the 100 metres in 21.50 seconds. Tiangong also won the world’s first humanoid robot half-marathon, held in Beijing last year.
The 100 metres is among 51 events at the games, which include football, dancing and contests to complete industrial tasks.
China is promoting humanoid robots as a strategic emerging industry, with policymakers and companies betting that advances in AI and hardware will accelerate their use in manufacturing, logistics and consumer applications.
Investor enthusiasm for the sector was underscored recently when shares in Unitree, China’s best-known humanoid robot maker, jumped more than five fold in its Shanghai trading debut, giving the company a market value of about $50 billion.
This year’s games have drawn 2,056 robots from 666 teams across 16 countries and six continents, up from 280 teams at the inaugural event.

There was a time when sleeping was simple – but now, it’s a bit more complicated.
Sleep has rules – there’s the right bedtime, the right temperature, and the right amount of deep sleep.
It’s not just something we do, it’s something we measure.
But is all this number punching actually helping us rest?

AI is insance, i think it cant beat the human brain ,since its developed by human ,AI will contribute well contires which is higly developed with less population ,in other hand it will destroy the opportunity of young people in developing or poor countries.I wish see more contributions AI in medical field to overcome deadly desease and viruses.

I believe future is Ai the reason is that the cost of labour, labour policys, …. Are not effect a Ai so major tech company like Microsoft, IBM, Google, Wipro … They started the Ai journey the after effect of Ai the Termination in tech company has increased ,In my view point need some restriction on Ai in workspace because. The Ai kills the many job like graphic desighners, Data analyst etc. The company's use more Ai tools the after effect is unemployment rate also increases Ai is good but need some restriction thats my conclusion in this problem

Bad data results in bad choices. No data is better than bad data. Caring about reality is a uniquely human. Taking responsibility and fixing problems is what humans are supposed to do. Computers do not care, do not recognize problems, and IT does not take responsibility.

People are definitely neive and over confident. Only a few outcomes can come from the implementation of Machines/Robots/Automation/AI.
One: a world where no jobs are available to humans and a moneyless society/Socialism would be implemented/a system where items were divide out/divided out.
Two: We revert back to our old ways/by being more self sufficient/sustainable/by raising livestock/growing food/by trading goods and services.
Three: humans/business owners realize/come to the conclusion that there is no money in machines/robots/automation/AI/it sounds good right now to pay/invest just one of your minimum wage employees salary for one year, to obtain an AI robot that can replace all of your current employees,but what will be realized is,if no one has jobs/money,no one will have money to pay for your product/subscriptions/ad revenue/what you are selling/every employee hired,is a potential profit/that employee or someone elses employee MAY buy your product/employees are good investments.
Four: AI becomes self aware/a skynet/terminator scenario/outcome,becomes humans reality/AI/Robots try to take out humans or like in IRobot, the AI realizes,to preserve humans/to follow all of the robots rules, a few humans need to be taken out,because humans are over populating earth and not using renewable energy and they are not trying to keep/create a smaller carbon foot print/all humans arent trying to be eco friendly,so to save humans,some of the population of humans need to be taken out.
The only jobs AI/robots create, is AI regulation jobs and FOR NOW,these machines/AI will PROBABLY need to be built/programmed/updated/maintained, by humans,FOR NOW and this also depends on the route taken by these companies/cars can be built autonomously,so it wouldn't be to surprising,to see robots/AI being built/maintained fully autonomously/A LOT of things can be automated, even now/in todays day and time and DEFINITELY in the future, but the question is,will companies see the value in the investment of humans/this may not be seen right away/it may take time for companies to realize, money comes from humans,not robots,either way,even now, the need/demand for people/human are going to go WAY DOWN,but we will just have to see where things go,but I think in the far future,OR MAYBE not so distant future/ our next evolutionary step is a moneyless society/socialism/a fully autonomous world,how this plays out/works exactly,is yet to be determined,granted we DEFINITELY don't need to get to lazy/we should still be doing things,but A LOT of people are DEFINITELY going to feel like,they will never be good enough/they could never compete with AI/Robots; Humans will NEED to find other purposes,I also wouldn't be surprised to see a resistance type group/extremist group,that try to damage/destroy servers/robots/AI/equipment,at some point,I know that sounds crazy,but if people's purpose/lively hoods/jobs/income are in jeopardy and they don't see a solution,fear/anger or both MAY take over,in some people.
What do you think humans will realize/what conclusion do you think humans will come to, regarding this?
What do you think the outcome will be with all of this?
You need to keep in mind,what we are seeing is just whats available to the general public, when it comes to AI,company's/corporation's/government will have AI that is MUCH MORE capable,also A LOT of OpenAI/GPT is dumbed down, so server resources aren't over whelmed and for legal purposes/so AI isn't as harmful to society and also so these companies don't get sued as much OR shut down entirely.
Also generational wealth,if not replinished,will not last forever.
Also warehouses can run fully autonomously now too,Autonomous vehichles with Lidar,GPS and cameras are very capable too.
Robots that move items around are available now too.
Digital jobs/programming and so on are being automated too.
Humans are on the verge of not being needed,in traditional ways.
