Roadside drug testing, UV index tanning and the AI bubble - explained | The Spinoff

Our resident explainer, Robbie Nicol, explains three things from the week you need to know in one compilation video. Roadside drug testing for THC, methamphetamine, cocaine and MDMA has begun in Wellington and will be rolled out nationwide in the new year. Meanwhile, TikTok’s UV index tanning trend continues in 2025, with local experts warning there is no such thing as safe suntanning and any suntan is a sign of skin damage. Finally, Nicol asks if there really is an AI bubble - and what it would mean for New Zealand if it popped. Made with the support of NZ On Air.
