Student Hannah Lehmann has 20,000 photos on her phone. The young digital native has grown up in an age where memories are constantly recorded and shared. In this report, media psychologists explore how this affects “autobiographical memory”, which shapes identity, social bonds, and future decisions. One problem: while AI may help organize digital memories, it struggles to grasp emotions, so isn’t always the best judge of what makes a ‘good’ snapshot. Experts envision future AI tools that grow with us, helping us remember things more accurately in our later years.

Targeting smart technology – when hackers crack doors and systems

From door locks to critical infrastructure – smart devices are practical but also open a gateway for hackers. What can help when the threat becomes real?

Smart locks and connected devices offer convenience—but also pose serious cybersecurity risks. In this report, researchers demonstrate how hackers can clone phones to unlock doors and infiltrate networks. The EU’s Cyber Resilience Act aims to enforce stronger protections by 2027. Experts stress the need for legal safeguards for ethical hackers and highlight AI’s dual role in both cyberattacks and defense. Meanwhile, the “Zero Trust” strategy is emerging as a keystone for securing modern IT systems.

 

Folk singer fights back against AI-generated fake album

Emily Portman fell victim to a digital scam when someone used AI to generate a ‘new’ album under her name and sell it on a range of platforms. Artificial intelligence is changing the arts in unforeseeable ways.

Musician Emily Portman discovered an AI-generated album falsely released under her name across major platforms like Spotify and iTunes. The scam highlights growing concerns over artificial intelligence in music. Meanwhile, a band called Velvet Sundown – which has been made up completely by AI – is gaining traction despite the fact that there are no real people involved in writing or performing the songs. Critics say that while AI music may be technically sound, it still lacks emotional depth and authenticity. Will that always be the case?

 

Why do we sometimes see the Moon during the day?

We mostly associate our lunar companion with nighttime. But it's often visible in the sky during the day as well. Here's how it all works.

The Moon is often visible during the daytime because it reflects sunlight and is much closer to Earth than stars. Unlike stars, which are drowned out by scattered sunlight in our atmosphere, the Moon’s brightness makes it stand out. Its visibility depends on its phase and position in the sky.

The Earth rotates on its axis once a day, while the Moon orbits the Earth in about a month. Depending on the relative positions of the Sun, Earth and Moon, we see different amounts of our satellite’s illuminated side. The Moon is particularly visible during the day in the so-called crescent phases. The best time to spot it during the day is during the first or last quarter, when it appears as a “half-moon”. It is then bright and high in the sky above us for many hours.
