    Why Gen Z is struggling with modern dating

Newsworthy's Ben Tresno-Turner spoke to relationship and intimacy coach Susie Kim and UNSW students about the realities of Gen Z dating. Then he sets himself a bold challenge: to ask a complete stranger out on a first date - with the microphones rolling.

    AI tools are making it easier for predators to harm kids. Here's why they've been banned

    Send us Fan Mail Child pornography and sextortion are big online problems, but they are being made worse with the arrival of AI and particularly ‘nudify’ apps. These apps sexualise a normal photo with the aid of AI technology. They’ve become so widely used that reporting found there was, on average, at least one incident at schools a week. Last week the eSafety Commission announced that the provider of three major 'nudify' apps has withdrawn their services from Australia following enforcement action. Newsworthy's Raahat Shaik sat down with Dr Sarah Napier from the Australian Institute of Criminology, Dr Pooja Sawriker and Mikaela Jago from ICMEC Australia to discuss how AI is transforming the child protection landscape, why cultural silence can leave some children feeling more alone, and what needs to change to keep young people safe.
