Global Warming Pushing White Sharks into New Habitat, Study Reveals

Climate change continues to wreak havoc in most parts of the world, as marine life struggle to survive the impact of global warming. White sharks are migrating into new waters thus endangering the existence of other water creatures, study has indicated.
The global heat reached a record high in 2020 resulting to the migration of white sharks. According to the Guardian, white sharks moved a record distance of about 600 Km towards the North off the California Coast.
Documented reports showed that the migration of white sharks led to the killing of sea otters. The sharks have been escaping the waters that became warmer as a result of global heating. The sharks then moved towards the Polar Regions, thus upsetting ecosystems inhabited by fish.
Kyle Van Houtan of The Monterey Bay Aquarium in California stated that: “The shifting species is not the problem – climate change is the problem. The sharks are telling us that the ocean is changing and it’s now time for us to do something about it.”
The research that was published in the Journal Scientific Reports documented the dramatic increase in “juvenile white sharks in Monterey Bay that started with a marine heat wave, referred as the blob, in 2014” and lasted for about two years.
Van Houtan said that young sharks eat fish before they start eating sea lions and seals when they have grown into adults.

Google launches portal to flag AI-Generated content

  Google has launched a tool meant to identify Artificial Intelligence (AI) generated content. The giant Search Engine Company made the announcement about the launch of the SynthID Detector tool during Google's I/O 2025 developer conference. SynthID Detector is a tool developed to watermark and identify content generated through AI. The detector has the ability to identify AI-generated content across various platforms. Detectable content include text, images, audio and video. Google's DeepMind developed SynthID, a watermarking technology that is directly embedded into the content in contrast to traditional metadata tags. SynthID is a browser-based verification tool that permit users to upload content and receive a probability score revealing if it is AI-generated and watermarked with SynthID. For texts, SynthID adjust patterns and create a digital signature to be detected by AI. For images, the tool subtly modify pixels in a form that is invisible to the human eye. How Gener...
