China figured out how to sell EVs. Now it has to bury their batteries.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the past decade, China has seen an EV boom, thanks in part to government support. Buying an electric car has gone from a novel decision to a routine one; by late 2025, nearly 60% of new cars sold were electric or plug-in hybrids.<\/p>\n

But as the batteries in China\u2019s first wave of EVs reach the end of their useful life, early owners are starting to retire their cars, and the country is now under pressure to figure out what to do with those aging components.<\/p>\n

The issue is putting strain on China\u2019s still-developing battery recycling industry and has given rise to a gray market that often cuts corners on safety and environmental standards. National regulators and commercial players are also stepping in, but so far these efforts have struggled to keep pace with the flood of batteries coming off the road.

The AI doomers feel undeterred<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a weird time to be an AI doomer.This small but influential community believes, in the simplest terms, that AI could get so good it could be bad\u2014very, very bad\u2014for humanity.<\/p>\n

The doomer crowd has had some notable success over the past several years: including helping shape AI policy coming from the Biden administration. But a number of developments over the past six months have put them on the back foot. Talk of an AI bubble has overwhelmed the discourse as tech companies continue to invest in multiple Manhattan Projects\u2019 worth of data centers without any certainty that future demand will match what they\u2019re building.<\/p>\n

So where does this leave the doomers? We decided to ask some of the movement\u2019s biggest names to see if the recent setbacks and general vibe shift had altered their views. See what they had to say in our story<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Take our quiz on the year in health and biotechnology<\/strong><\/p>\n

In just a couple of weeks, we\u2019ll be bidding farewell to 2025. And what a year it has been! Artificial intelligence is being incorporated into more aspects of our lives, weight-loss drugs have expanded in scope, and there have been some real \u201comg\u201d biotech stories from the fields of gene therapy, IVF, neurotech, and more.<\/p>\n

Jessica Hamzelou, our senior biotech reporter, is inviting you to put your own memory to the test. So how closely have you been paying attention this year<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Quote of the day<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cTrump wants to hand over even more control of what you watch to his billionaire buddies. Americans deserve to know if the president struck another backdoor deal for this billionaire takeover of TikTok.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Synthesia\u2019s AI clones are more expressive than ever. Soon they\u2019ll be able to talk back.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2014Rhiannon Williams<\/em><\/p>\n

Earlier this summer, I visited the AI company Synthesia to create a hyperrealistic AI-generated avatar of me. The company\u2019s avatars are a decent barometer of just how dizzying progress has been in AI over the past few years, so I was curious just how accurately its latest AI model, introduced last month, could replicate me.<\/p>\n

I found my avatar as unnerving as it is technically impressive. It\u2019s slick enough to pass as a high-definition recording of a chirpy corporate speech, and if you didn\u2019t know me, you\u2019d probably think that\u2019s exactly what it was.<\/p>\n

My avatar shows how it\u2019s becoming ever-harder to distinguish the artificial from the real. And before long, these avatars will even be able to talk back to us. But how much better can they get? And what might interacting with AI clones do to us? Read the full story<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n
