"Transforming Families – a Telethon Kids Institute-led collaboration with local and national community organisations – is a dedicated website offering resources and guidance to parents, friends and carers of gender diverse children and young people to better understand and help their loved ones." I looked at the site briefly. The "Get Support" section is Australia-oriented, but the "Research" and "Resources" question seemed suitable for anyone no matter what their location.

Mashable: All the major generative AI tools that could enhance your worklife in 2023. "...before you attempt to automate your entire worklife, it's important to know your company's policies on third party app usage, its stance on AI in general, and the relevant laws, regulations, and disclosure requirements. It's also important to drill down on some of the fine print, so there'll be no surprises about how the information you share with generative AI tools is stored and used. With all that out of the way, here's what's on offer."

We are awash in ideas about how we can use AI productively — from agriculture to climate change to engineering to software construction. And, equally, there are plenty of cautionary notes being struck about using AI to control societies, manipulate economies, defeat commercial opponents, and generally fulfill Arthur C. Clarke's visions of machines dominating man in 2001: A Space Odyssey. Thus far, however, relatively little has been written about the implications of AI on warfare and geopolitics."
