 When Jason Brown organized his summer holiday to Amsterdam and Ireland, he didn’t rely on travel books or social media. Instead, he turned to ChatGPT, OpenAI’s generative artificial intelligence tool. Brown used the AI to help craft a 10-day itinerary for his trip with his family, visiting Dublin, Galway, and Amsterdam. “I used to rely on sites like TripAdvisor,” said Brown, who runs the recruitment company People Movers. “But with AI, I had all the information I needed in 15 seconds.” He described the experience as "fantastic," noting that ChatGPT provided detailed plans, including a golf itinerary for Dublin and a schedule split into morning, afternoon, and evening activities. For instance, it suggested starting in Dublin with a visit to Trinity College, followed by Grafton Street in the afternoon, and Temple Bar in the evening. For Amsterdam, it recommended popular sites like the Anne Frank Museum and Van Gogh Museum. AI is increasingly being used to plan vacations, but t...

 An engine fire on a Cathay Pacific Airbus A350 earlier this month, caused by a fuel leak, could have led to significant damage, investigators warn. The incident occurred shortly after the aircraft took off from Hong Kong en route to Zurich, forcing the pilots to shut down the engine and activate fire extinguishers.

 As Japan revisits its energy plan, there is a growing demand for an increased focus on renewable sources like wind and solar power to enhance the country's clean energy transition. Currently, Japan's energy policy has been deemed "insufficient" by Climate Action Tracker regarding necessary emissions reductions to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius. Mika Ohbayashi, director of the Renewable Energy Institute, emphasizes the need for greater incentives for solar installations on buildings and the expansion of commercial-scale solar projects. She also advocates for increasing other renewable sources, including onshore and offshore wind, hydropower, bioenergy, and geothermal energy.  Japan's Energy Transition: Navigating Renewables and Ethical Supply Chains Environmental organizations like REI, Kiko Network, and Climate Integrate argue that prioritizing wind and solar, the most cost-effective renewable options, is crucial.
