The initiative expands regulatory oversight from initial foaling through the sport's dedicated Retraining of Racehorses aftercare network. Trainers and veterinarians will use wearable technology, heart monitors, and artificial intelligence to catch cardiac and structural issues during routine training sessions. Guidance will also target breeders, including education on how antibiotic use in young foals directly influences future soundness. The strategy seeks to push equine fatalities down after previous interventions, such as changing obstacle marking colors, left jump-racing death rates stagnant.

LONDON, Nov 10 : British horse racing's welfare board on Tuesday unveiled a five-year strategy that will use AI, wearable technology and lifetime tracking of horses to prevent injuries, reduce falls and improve horses' well-being away from the racetrack.
The new strategy sets out 20 priorities to improve welfare and safety of thoroughbred horses throughout their lives, spanning areas including veterinary research, injury prevention, the training environment and aftercare and extending the scope of oversight from foaling through training to life after racing.
Horse racing is Britain's second most-watched sport but concern for equine welfare remains its biggest reputational challenge, with falls, fatalities and the treatment of horses at key racing festivals like Cheltenham and Aintree under constant public scrutiny.
Fatality rates in jumps racing were largely unchanged at 0.47 per cent in 2025 even after measures to improve the safety of fences like changing the colour of markings in 2022.
The British Horseracing Authority says it extended the scope of its reporting to cover more horses in 2021 and that it would take time for the safety improvements to…
Recent industry evaluations point to a notable shift in technology employment trends amid the rapid expansion of artificial intelligence. While product managers are emerging as the primary beneficiaries of this transformation, hiring interest for engineering talent has started leveling off. These observations suggest evolving priorities for technology organizations adjusting their operational strategies.
The social network is expanding its creator toolset by allowing users to trim longer videos into shorter snippets paired with custom commentary. This update supports a broader strategy to rival platforms like YouTube by encouraging short-form content circulation while keeping traffic contained on the site. Posts include an attribution link to drive audiences back to the initial video source.
Automatic Super Resolution has moved past its initial docked testing phase to provide AI upscaling on portable hardware and select Copilot Plus PCs. Operating directly on battery power at 1080p, the feature targets noticeable visual enhancements, particularly for legacy gaming catalogs. The rollout also removes earlier framerate constraints, paving the way for higher refresh rate portable gaming.
