the globe is grappling with a massive plastic pollution catastrophe. the university of texas at austin has discovered an enzyme that consumes plastic, which could be a crucial breakthrough in combating the issue.
according to research, the amount of plastic produced worldwide has doubled in the past 20 years. much of it is burned, dumped in landfills or released into the environment, particularly the oceans.

only 9 percent of plastic is successfully recycled, while 22 percent of plastic is mishandled, according to the organization for economic co-operation and development’s (oecd) global plastics outlook report. teams of scientists and researchers are constantly dedicating time and resources to devising novel solutions to the expanding issue of plastic pollution worldwide. plastic is not naturally biodegradable.
stringent ethical oversight and proactive regulation are needed as ai becomes more integrated into daily life.

their conversation sheds light on the history of ai in accounting, the distinction between different types of ai, and the implications for professional ethics and regulatory standards.
“generative ai is different than machine learning, but machine learning has been in the accounting space for a long time,” says mason, the ceo and founder of high rock accounting. “our code of ethics should be considered at every point in time, and we need to understand the tech, review it, and manage it appropriately, making sure that we’re ahead of the regulatory environment and we’re advising on what it looks like for the future of our profession.”
let ai do your heavy lifting. focus on delivering client value.

of all the obstacles to transportation decarbonization, electric motors present one of the most compelling. researchers are currently working on a development that could speed up the shift to electric vehicles worldwide: a tough, small, strong electric motor without rare-earth permanent magnets that can withstand high temperatures and has a high power density.
it’s crucial for accountants to embrace adaptation and growth in the face of technological disruption
