Why NZ should be clamping down on deepfake images
technology 42 minutes ago Denmark is set to clamp down on deepfake images, giving citizens copyright over their likeness and voice. A deepfake is an image, video or audio recording which has been digitally altered to appear to be someone else. They have become increasingly sophisticated with the rapid advancement of AI, and recent studies have shown that the vast majority of people can't distinguish between deepfake and real images So are New Zealand laws fit for purpose? Jesse finds out.

Air NZ sees AI use as 'force for good'
Air New Zealand is working with the organisation behind ChatGPT to expand the use of artificial intelligence to help the airline avoid flight delays. The national carrier was part of a select group around the world given the opportunity to partner with OpenAI, in a first of its kind collaboration in New Zealand. Air New Zealand chief digital officer Nikhil Ravishankar told RNZ's Morning Report programme today the partnership enabled Air New Zealand to roll companion AI out to its corporate workers at pace. It also allowed the airline to "co-create" solutions, Ravishankar said. "So we already have about 1500, what we call, custom GPTs in the organisation. Think of them as sort of rudimentary agents and what Open AI partnership allows us to do is work with their engineering teams and product teams to develop these solutions to solve airline problems, not just for Air New Zealand. "We're hoping that the solutions are also applicable around the world." It also allowed Air New Zealand to become a "test bed" for some of Open AI's more cutting-edge solutions, he said. "So we get first access, early access to some of these tools as they emerge and some of these tools are turning up on almost a weekly basis." The aim was to make Air New Zealand a better airline. Ravishankar said the airline expected to see improvements in on-time performance, integrated planning and how the airline scheduled the network it flies, and service experience for customers including product design in-flight and on the ground. "So almost every aspect of the customer's experience with the airline will be impacted by AI and this partnership going forward." Asked about pricing, Ravishankar said Air New Zealand was already using AI to deal with the cost of flying, which he said was complex. "The hope really is we want it to be a force for good so we are looking at utilising AI to drive more, fairer value-centric outcomes as much as anything else." Asked what this meant, Ravishankar said AI allowed the airline to take into account "a lot more things as we think about how we price an airline seat". "For our regional network for example where we are a lifeline service, we could think of pricing approaches that fulfil that role that we play, versus what we might be doing in say the US market where we're trying to attract premium leisure tourists into the country."

The AI data centre market is witnessing strong growth due to the rising demand for AI workloads across healthcare, finance, and manufacturing sectors. These workloads require high-performance computing infrastructure to process complex algorithms and large-scale data sets in real-time. Companies are investing in AI-optimized data centres that integrate GPUs, TPUs, and advanced storage systems to meet this demand. However, one main constraint is the high implementation cost associated with setting up AI-centric data centres, including investment in specialised hardware, advanced cooling systems, and skilled personnel. This can be a barrier, particularly for small and mid-sized enterprises. An emerging opportunity lies in the increasing adoption of green AI data centres as organisations focus on sustainability and energy efficiency. The growth of AI-as-a-Service (AIaaS) platforms is also granting mid-sized and smaller enterprises access to advanced AI technologies without requiring hefty upfront infrastructure investments. Additionally, government incentives targeted at promoting digital innovation and AI utilisation in sectors such as manufacturing and transportation are further encouraging enterprise spending on AI-capable data centres. With enterprises increasingly transitioning to hybrid cloud and edge computing models, the requirement for data centre infrastructure that is robust, secure, and energy-efficient is accelerating. These trends are expected to underpin the strong market growth expected in the coming years.
