Almost a year after I started researching the story, I'm thrilled that my @guardian article about the innovations being used to try and find some of the thousands of people who have disappeared in Mexico is the most read in its Global Development section. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

As we know, use of AI is rocketing. But it's also known to hallucinate - to generate content that is irrelevant, made-up, or inconsistent. And many companies are bringing in professionals to fix the mistakes made by AI. I looked into this for the BBC: www.bbc.com/news/article...

'I'm being paid to fix issues caused by AI'

Businesses that rush to use AI to write content or computer code, often have to pay humans to fix it.

A lesson to check your entry and exit stamps: yesterday at the Guatemalan border I was taken into the immigration office after they noticed there was no entry stamp on my passport (I entered legally!). Cue negotiating a cash request of the equivalent of £80 down to £35 (all the money I had on me).

Me gusta hiking, swimming, tubing and caving (?!) so a visit to Semuc Champey, a national park with a series of idyllic turquoise and emerald-green pools surrounded by limestone rocks and tropical forest, has easily become a highlight of the trip so far.
