| Good afternoon. Welcome to your twice-weekly look at how generative AI is transforming the way we live, work and play plus the latest news and analysis. About one in four people have harassed their colleagues through text or phone calls. Workplace harassment in on the rise, and a survey of more than 3000 people found that one in three men had engaged in workplace sexual harassment, compared to just one in six women. The Australian National Research Organisation for Women’s Safety is now calling for companies to roll out AI tools to detect and intervene in unsolicited messages and harassment over messaging platforms. Yet another deep-fake scam involving a high profile Australian has been found on social media giant Facebook. This time it's a deep-fake ad showing former ASX boss Dominic Stevens promoting an “Australian Securities Exchange-ASX” group purporting to give investment insights. Meta knows about it but is yet to take it down. Meanwhile, how ready are Australian organisations for the AI boom? Only four in 10 companies have a director well versed in AI ethics and most don’t have public AI policies, according to a new report by CSIRO.
