About 78% of respondents agree that the internet has “never been worse” when it comes to differentiating between what’s real and what’s artificial. This skepticism has grown as AI-generated material becomes increasingly prevalent.

When asked where they most commonly notice artificial content, respondents identified:

Social media posts (48%)

News articles (34%)

Chatbot interactions (32%)

Those polled believe that 50% of the news stories and articles they come across online have some element of AI, whether in images or written content.

The research, commissioned by World.org, uncovered a troubling reality: when tested, only 30% of participants could correctly identify which business reviews were written by humans versus AI. Of the three options written by people, two ranked at the very bottom of the list, demonstrating how challenging it has become to recognize genuine human writing.

Hahn noted the urgency of finding solutions: “Being able to prove you’re human online is becoming as essential as having an email address was twenty years ago. Our survey shows Americans are desperate for tools that restore confidence in digital interactions. We’re pioneering a new paradigm where human verification becomes a foundational layer of the internet — simple, secure, and universally accessible. This isn’t just about solving today’s trust crisis; it’s about building tomorrow’s internet where human-to-human connection remains at the heart of everything we do.”

Alternating between victimhood and foul abuse, the leading activists are a bunch of cry bullies who boast of their supposed feminine instincts but who often act in the most crude macho way. Their hatred for women’s rights campaigners – whom they label TERFs (Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminists) – has shone through their ugly protests. “The only good TERF is a dead TERF”, read one slogan at a London demonstration last week.

The same misogyny could be found in the protestors’ vandalism of the statue in Parliament Square of Millicent Fawcett, the heroic advocate of votes for women and in the vicious personal attacks on the brilliant author and brave opponent of transgender dogma, JK Rowling, including barbaric calls for her to be burned at the stake as “a witch”.

The hysterical, undignified and brutish response to the Supreme Court ruling has fulfilled all the worst fears about the trans movement. The advance of its agenda fuels conflict, undermines women’s rights, exploits the vulnerable, makes a mockery of science, and destroys childhood innocence.

It is telling that “gender dysphoria” only took off after medical breakthroughs enabled doctors to undertake gender reassignments. But this involves a glaring contradiction. In the name of public health, the Government aims to stamp out tobacco, combat female genital mutilation, and lower obesity, yet at the same time our medical guardians take the knife to the healthy bodies of young people and pump them with toxic, life-altering drugs.

In the same vein, we are solemnly told by the trans-propagandists that a woman can have a penis and a man a cervix. Labour joined in this nonsense under the delusion the trans creed is progressive, but the party’s politicians ended up tying themselves in knots about the definition of womanhood and peddling absurdities such as the assertion that babies are born without sex.

True, some activists are still in denial. They are determined to pretend that nothing has changed, despite last week’s landmark Supreme Court ruling that trans women are not legally women under the stipulations of the Equality Act. The director of the London Marathon is insisting that trans women should be allowed to enter this weekend’s event as females. Some NHS managers have intimated their willingness to defy the judgment. Various institutions will try to misconstrue the law by, for example, wrongly insisting that transgender access to single-sex spaces must be decided on a case-by-case basis. Despite such defiance, the fact remains that everything has changed.

At a 2024 campaign rally in Waco, Texas, he said: “We are a nation whose leaders are demanding all electric cars, even though they can’t go far, cost too much, and whose batteries are produced in China with materials only available in China, when an unlimited amount of gasoline is available inexpensively in the United States of America, but is not available in China.”

He hasn’t wasted any time in putting in place a five-pronged approach to make his policy a reality.

First, on January 20, in an executive order entitled “Unleashing American Energy”, the president removed the requirement, put in place by Biden-era Transportation Department and Environmental Protection Agency regulations, for car companies to sell a certain share of vehicles that are battery-powered electric, effectively cancelling the mandate.

Second, Trump pledged in the same executive order to consider cancelling the $7,500 tax credit to buy EVs. The credit, signed into law by Joe Biden as part of the Inflation Reduction Act, would have cost $105.7 billion over the next 10 years.

Third, Trump paused producer tax credits for clean energy, including advanced battery technology, estimated to cost between $30 billion and $200 billion over the next decade.

Fourth, President Trump’s transportation department is suspending billions allocated to build electric charging stations all over the country. These charging stations were supposed to overcome the main disadvantage of EVs: that drivers might run out of range before they found somewhere to recharge their vehicle.

Fifth, President Trump pledged to end “state emissions waivers that function to limit sales of gasoline-powered automobiles,” such as California’s clean car regulations. The transportation department and the Environmental Protection Agency are working together to roll back state waivers.

Twenty years ago the political scientist Samuel P Huntington coined the term “Davos Man” to describe what he saw as an elite who “have little need for national loyalty, view national boundaries as obstacles that thankfully are vanishing, and see national governments as residues from the past whose only useful function is to facilitate the elite’s global operations”. That was a very accurate description.

The validity of these “corruption” claims will be established during investigations. But with Schwab’s departure amid a storm of allegations, “Davos Man” may finally have had his day. I doubt he will be missed.

With Donald Trump softening his stance on Chinese tariffs, and ruling out firing the chairman of the Federal Reserve, the financial markets were in an optimistic mood this morning. Even so, the news out of the UK was still deeply disappointing. The Office for National Statistics revealed that the UK borrowed £15 billion more than forecast in the year to March.

In total, we borrowed a shocking £151.9 billion over the last twelve months, £20 billion more than the previous year, and much more than the Office for Budget Responsibility had forecast. Last month alone, we racked up another £16.4 billion in debt, the third highest March figure since records began.

She has ruled out tax rises in the autumn, and may find that little more can be squeezed out of an exhausted economy even if she tries. Meanwhile, she is letting ministers and civil servants carry on spending as if budgets no longer mattered. The blunt truth is this: Reeves has completely lost control. The UK is heading for a full-blown financial crash – and nothing can stop it now.

Phew, thank goodness we sorted that one out! Or did we? Because radical lefty loonies are venting their spleen and this madness looks set to continue for the foreseeable future. One totally unfathomable aspect of this whole 'trans’ debate is the extent to which passions can become so inflamed over a matter that concerns half of one percent of the entire population.

The matter of trans and trans rights has become so emotionally politicized in this country that it defies basic logic. Identify as a traffic bollard for all I care, but don’t expect me to accept this as normal by ramming it down my throat, because I won’t! The invasion of women’s safe spaces has been a disgrace, as has allowing biological males to compete in sports against biological women.

"California isn't just keeping pace with the world - we're setting the pace," Newsom said. The new figures come as Newsom has spoken out against President Donald Trump's tariffs and voiced concern about the future of the state's economy.

California has the largest share of manufacturing and agricultural production in the US. It is also home to leading technological innovation, the centre of the world's entertainment industry and the country's two largest seaports.

Instead of turning their attention to solving the myriad problems facing the country, the political class has spent the past week arguing the toss over the Supreme Court’s ‘statement of the *** obvious’ ruling that someone with a penis cannot by law – or by any stretch of the imagination in a sane society – be described as a woman.

Meanwhile, back on Fantasy Island, everyone from Labour ministers to the overpaid bureaucrats who run the NHS were busting a gut to ignore the Supreme Court’s ruling. The health service is falling apart at the seams but those in charge are more concerned about continuing to insist biological men can use women’s wards and toilets than tackling interminable waiting lists and sorting out the GP crisis.

From the car crash which is the NHS; to the piles of rubbish in Birmingham and the pot holes everywhere; to the refusal of the police to patrol the streets or investigate everything from burglaries to phone thefts – 66,000 in London alone last year – while at the same time nicking people for ‘non-crime hate incidents’, we are being betrayed, bullied and treated with contempt at every level.

At a special Board meeting on April 20, the Board unanimously appointed Vice Chairman Peter Brabeck-Letmathe as interim Chair and formed a Search Committee to identify a permanent successor. The Board paid tribute to Schwab’s remarkable contributions, stating, “He created the leading global platform for dialogue and progress,” and emphasized the Forum’s commitment to its founding mission amid global transformation.

The World Economic Forum, with over 800 employees across Geneva, New York, Beijing, and Tokyo, continues to play a pivotal role in shaping global agendas. As the leadership baton passes, the need for inclusive and informed dialogue remains more critical than ever.

The controversy that enveloped him stems from remarks he made in the 2005 documentary “We Feed the World.” He described the idea that water is a public right as “extreme” and argued that water should be treated as a foodstuff with a market value. He suggested that putting a price on water would make people more conscious of its value, but also stated that specific measures should be taken to ensure access for those who cannot afford it.

These comments sparked backlash from activists, NGOs, and the public. Critics accused Brabeck-Letmathe and Nestlé of seeking to profit from a basic human necessity, and memes and negative commentary proliferated online. The controversy was further inflamed by Nestlé’s global bottled water operations, which were criticized for extracting water from communities and contributing to water scarcity.

At the centre of the operation a shadowy military unit trained in drone warfare, typically deployed in conflict zones, now mobilised to keep a silent watch over the skies of the Eternal City. According to Corriere della Serra, anti-drone weaponry are being deployed, a no-fly zone patrolled by NATO AWACS surveillance jets will be put in place, as well as sophisticated anti-drone jamming systems.

Snipers will be placed strategically on nearby roofs and barriers have already been erected inside and outside the basilica in an attempt to control the grieving crowds. Speaking to NBC, Rome's police chief, Marcello Fulvi, said around 8,000 security agents would also be in place for the funeral, including 2,000 uniformed police officers patrolling St Peter’s and the boulevard leading up to it and another 1,400 plainclothes officers in the streets. Though Italian officials have not formally raised the terror threat level, insiders confirm it has been unofficially elevated, prompting sweeping measures across Rome and the Vatican.
