Two of the most powerful women in AI have just signed a multi-BILLION-dollar deal.

It means the “godmother” of AI and someone who actually cares about human-centred AI, Dr Fei-Fei Li, will be working direct with Dr Lisa Su, the CEO who turned the once struggling AMD around.

And together, they’ll be strengthening AMD’s position in challenging the male-dominated concentration of power in AI. Here’s why it matters.

We heard the surprising news last night that Senator Larissa Waters is stepping down as leader of the Greens, due to pre-existing health condition that’s worsened recently. Here’s more on the why she’s “passing the torch on”.

Labor MP Senator Marielle Smith shares her story of feeling like failure and being diagnosed with post-natal anxiety following the birth of her child. She’s just established a Select Committee inquiry on postpartum care as well as women’s pain, fertility and other health issues.

ICYMI: Italy’s Deputy PM said women “with longer skirts” make better wives. So in response, Italian parliamentarians put on their best short skirts.

The Key Quote

   
I’m really sad that illness means my time as leader has been cut short, but our movement needs a leader in good health to lead us to success at the next election. Passing the torch on to the next leader of the party will put them in the best position to take the Greens to the next election, fighting for people, not the corporate interests that run Labor, Liberals and One Nation.
   
Larissa Waters
Larissa Waters has stepped down from her role as leader of the Greens, revealing on Monday night she has been managing a pre-existing kidney disease, but that her health had “declined significantly over the course of recent months”. She said while her prognosis for recovery was positive, the ongoing pressure of party leadership was taking away from focus on her health.

The Key Figure

6 meters     
 
The size of a whale carcass that has washed up on City Beach, a popular inner-city beach in Perth, attracting 5-meter Great White sharks just 10 meters from the shoreline. It comes just weeks after a swimmer was killed by a shark whilst swimming close to shore at a beach 15 minutes away, and City Beach remained closed throughout yesterday’s public holiday to protect swimmers.         

The win

An 11 year old London schoolgirl has become the youngest female grandmaster of all time after representing Britain at the 46th chess Olympiad

Asked whether she felt the pressure of playing on the top board at the tournament, Sivanandan said: “Not really, I just tried to enjoy it.” She beat 60-year-old grandmaster Pete Wells at the age of just 10 years, five months and three days, breaking a record set by American Carissa Yip when she defeated a grandmaster in 2019, according to FIDE.
