As the world is rapidly moving towards the evolving digital space, skills like problem-solving have become more important than ever. The entire market size of AI is projected to grow from USD 214.6 billion in 2024 to 1,339.1 billion in 2030 with a CAGR of 35.7%. In Today's scenario, skills like problem-solving are not just limited to professionals, it becomes crucial to teach kids how to think critically and creatively to steer through the complexities of modern life. This not only sharpens their abilities but also boosts innovation and helps develop young minds to use tools needed to solve real-world problems.

In her How to Use AI to Build Accessible Products presentation at Smashing Conf New York, Carie Fisher discussed using AI coding tools to test and suggest fixes for accessibility issues in Web pages. Here's my notes on her talk.

• AI is everywhere. You can use it to write content, code, create images, and more. It impacts how everyone will work.
• But ultimately, AI is just a tool but it might not always be the right one. We need to find the tasks where it has the potential to add value.
• Over 1 billion people on the planet identify as having a disability. Accessible code allows them to access digital experiences and helps companies be complaint with emerging laws requiring accessible Web pages and apps. Businesses also get SEO, brand, and more benefits from accessible code.
• AI tools like Github Copilot can find accessibility issues in seconds consistently, especially compared to the manual checks currently being done by humans. AI can also spot patterns across a codebase and suggest solutions.
• Existing AI coding tools like Github Copilot are already better than Linters for finding accessibility issues.
• AI can suggest and implement code fixes for accessibility issues. It can also be added to CI/CD pipelines to check for accessibility issues at the point of each commit. AI can also serve as an accessibility mentor for developers by providing real-time suggestions.
• More complex accessibility issues especially those that need user context may go unfound when just using AI. Sometimes AI output can be incomplete or hallucinate solutions that are not correct. As a result, we can't over rely on just AI to solve all accessibility problems. We still need human review today.
• To improve AI accessibility, provide expanded prompts that reference or include specifications. Code reviews can double check accessibility suggestions from AI-based systems. Regularly test and refine your AI-based solutions to improve outcomes.
• Combing AI and human processes and values can help build a culture of accessibility.

We tend to ignore the view of people around us. We also tend not to value the potential around us. The result is someone like the S&P grades us negative and gives us Gyan!

Chef Dominique Ansel invented the legendary Cronut, but he hasn't stopped there. The Frozen S'more is another of his brilliantly unhealthy creations. Ansel is naturally secretive about his special recipes, but he gave WIRED a sneak peek behind the making of it.

The Natural History Museum in London has set itself the mammoth task of digitising its specimens - all 80 million of them. The museum's collection includes everything from a blue whale skeleton to Martian meteorites, making progress understandably slow. Head of Informatics Vince Smith says it would take around 1,500 years for the team to manually digitise it all, so in 2014 they decided to write software that allows them to do it in bulk. They now use six DSLR cameras to process up to 200 items at a time. WIRED went behind the scenes to meet the researchers working on the project and learn more about how they digitise the different specimens.

Most people don't know what pure OCD is. People with the condition can experience extreme sexual and violent thoughts, which can lead to feelings of shame, depression and suicidal thoughts. Rose Bretécher explains how her experience with the condition, and the process of getting treatment for it, inspired her to tell her story. Need help?

Whether it's Tupac, Michael Jackson or some other revered artist, dead celebrities reincarnated as holograms are big business – and, for two startups looking for fame and fortune, a source of untapped millions. The two companies, Pulse Evolution and Hologram USA, have also been locked in bitter legal wrangles due to a patent dispute, despite the fact the underlying technology is based on Pepper's Ghost, a technique from the 19th century.

In the last decade, Africa’s elephant population has declined by around 110,000, primarily due to poaching. The slaughter of African rhinos has also skyrocketed — 1,175 were killed in South Africa in 2015 alone, compared with 13 in 2007. Because poachers operate mostly under the cover of night, this type of crime is hard to tackle. In December 2012, Google awarded WWF a $5 million grant to tackle the poaching crisis through technology, launching the Wildlife Crime Technology Project. They have collaborated with FLIR, a thermal imaging company, to design a new infrared camera capable of detecting human movement at night, and have installed cameras around Kenya's Maasai Mara Conservancy. Since the programme started, local rangers have nabbed over 150 poachers.

In the not-so-distant future, dealing safely with our emissions in a carbon-neutral way will be as natural to us as it is to have our trash picked up by our municipalities, says Jan Wurzbacher, founder of Climeworks.
