How will ICE's deportation teams use iris scanning technology?
On August 7th, America's Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) issued a notice they intended to purchase an iris scanning technology that can identify "suspects and inmates who try to hide their identity". Unsurprisingly, it's raised some red flags. Plus, online game marketplaces have removed more than 20,000 titles after an "anti-porn" group, Collective Shout, pressured payment processors. Several LGBTQIA+ creators have been censored as part of the move. And in case you thought you'd escaped AI for a week, more than 130,000 AI chatbot records have been made public, and Trump has launched an AI search engine for Truth Social. GUESTS: Josh Taylor, technology reporter for the Guardian Australia. Josh Taylor, technology reporter for the Guardian Australia.

Deadly honeybee parasite varroa mites detected in Gippsland, Victoria beehives
A deadly parasite that infests beehives and kills honey bees has spread through regional Victoria. Varroa mites have been detected in beehives throughout the Gippsland region, putting apiarists on alert to monitor their hives for any infestation. Gippsland Apiarist Association president Stan Glowacki said once a mite got into a beehive it could build up numbers where it killed off the hive within about six to nine months. 'If you have 400 hives that could be quite a financial hit to your operation,' he said. 'It's going to affect every beekeeper, it does not matter whether they have one hive or 1000 hives.' Varroa destructors are a parasite of adult honey bees and broods that weaken and kill honey bee colonies and transmit viruses, according to Victoria Agriculture. They are a major problem for commercial and hobby beekeepers once they become established. Varroa mites were first detected in NSW in June 2022. A national eradication response saw 14,000 hives euthanised before it was determined it was not feasible to achieve total elimination. Authorities and beekeepers now manage the pest, which can cost about $40 a year per hive, according to Mr Glowacki. 'It's a little parasitic mite that moves on the bees,' Mr Glowacki said. 'To scale it up to human size, it's the equivalent of having a parasite the size of a dinner plate stuck on your body, sucking out your blood.' He said once a female mite got inside a hive and a brood hatched it was an exponential threat. 'It's very worrying even for a small backyard beekeeper. Nobody wants to lose their bees,' he said. 'If you don't monitor your hives and manage the mite you're going to lose your hives. 'Eventually we're going to get to the stage where the industry is going to know the genetics and have hives that can manage the mite without the use of chemicals. 'But until we get to that stage people will lose hives and pay for the chemicals to try and keep their hives alive.'
