Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has met with U.S. President Joe Biden in Phnom Penh for the East Asia and ASEAN summits

During the 40 minute conversation, the two leaders discussed the critical AUKUS alliance between the UK, U.S., and Australia.

Coincidentally, the 40 minute conversation comes just hours before Biden is set to meet with China’s Xi Jinping.

Finding stability in the Indo-Pacific was front and centre during the discussion as both leaders face shared challenges.

“Australia’s standing in the region has risen and that is a benefit for those who have respect for Australia’s position…
The United States is one of those.”

The Australian leader also met with Chinese Premier Li Keqiang, but a question mark looms over whether he will met with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

“I had a brief conversation with Premier Li, it was very positive, it was constructive.
I’ve said repeatedly about the relationship with China that we should co-operate where we we can and that dialogue is always a good thing.”
Anthony albanese told reporters

China and Australia’s relationship has been on the rocks recently, amid heightened geopolitical tensions.

Relations between the two began to dwindle amid the Covid-19 pandemic, when Australia backed the idea for an independent inquiry into the origins of the virus.

China is one of Australia’s largest trading partners and began to use this against the country down under.

China began to make changes to its trade policies, which was ultimately seen as an attempt to economically punish Australia.

However, new Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is open to dialogue and cooperation.

“I think there is a great deal of goodwill here, certainly from Australia.
I have no reason to think there’s not goodwill on the Chinese side as well.”
Anthony albanese told reporters

As employees recover from the height of the pandemic, the Great Resignation has come to light

The pandemic saw the term ‘the great resignation’ coined as thousands of people resigned from their jobs across the U.S. in 2021 and 2022.

Karin Reed, the author of ‘Suddenly Hybrid said the great resignation was a period of employees taking control of their future.

“A lot of people realised in their current environment they were not happy with what they were doing with their job. They chose to vote with their feet and go elsewhere,

In other parts of the world, a spike in resignations was not reported.

However, a higher degree of workers began reporting post-Covid burnout, as they made a return to the office.

“There’s been a blurring of the lines. You have work that’s not confined by a physical space.

“Instead of closing the computer and walk away, our computer is in the next room.”

A big surprise for music fans when they heard a new song featuring Drake and The Weeknd. But there’s a catch!

The viral song was created by artificial intelligence.

A new song that sounds like Drake and The Weeknd has gone viral, but it was created by artificial intelligence.

Now, there’s a crusade against AI music.

The song,“Heart on My Sleeve”was created by artificial intelligence and quickly racked up millions of views on TikTok, Spotify, and YouTube.

Record label, Universal Music Group (UMG) is not happy about the song that used AI-generated vocals to simulate pop music artists Drake Graham and The Weeknd.

UMG flexed their muscle and forced the song featuring some of its biggest artists to be removed from Spotify and TikTok.

According to reports, UMG is taking it a step further and sent letters to Spotify, Apple Music, and other music streamers requesting they block AI tools from training their models on the melodies and lyrics of UMG artists.
