Trump to deploy military assets to 'inflict maximum damage' on cartels if elected in 2024
Fox News congressional correspondent Aishah Hasnie has the latest on an alleged drone strike attack at the Kremlin and lawmakers' concerns about fentanyl and artificial intelligence on'Special Report.' FIRST ON FOX: Former President Trump said he would deploy military assets to fight the fentanyl crisis and "inflict maximum damage" on cartel operations if elected in 2024, and he would seek the death penalty to convicted drug dealers and human traffickers. Trump outlined his proposed policies for ending drug addiction in America in a new campaign video obtained by Fox News Digital on Thursday. "For three decades before my election, drug overdose deaths increased every single year. Under my leadership, we took the drug and fentanyl crisis head on, and we achieved the first reduction in overdose deaths in more than 30 years," Trump said in the video.

Bank accounts of New York 'roofie murder' victims drained via facial recognition technology
Swanton Sector NBPC President Sean Walsh joined'Fox & Friends First' to discuss Mayorkas' testimony before Congress as the crisis continues to spiral. Facial recognition technology makes unlocking your smartphone a breeze. But with the convenience, comes a disturbing new crime trend for bandits. It involves "drug-facilitated robbery" schemers who knock their victims out with date rape drugs, unlock the victims' phones with their unconscious faces and drain their bank accounts of tens of thousands of dollars. While robberies involving incapacitated victims are nothing new, the technology offers thieves quick and easy access to incapacitated victims.

TuSimple's autonomous truck cuts 10 hours off 900-mile trek across the US
With ambitions to establish a network of autonomous trucking routes across the US, transport startup TuSimple is taking some steady and significant steps forward as it proves its technology through trials and expands into Europe. The latest test run for its self-driving trucks involved hauling a load of fresh produce over hundreds of miles across the US, where it demonstrated that it can complete such tasks in a fast and highly efficient fashion. Previously, we've seen TuSimple's Level 4 autonomous trucks use its variety of cameras and sensors to move goods as part of trials for the US Postal Service and shipping giant UPS. This time around, the startup has partnered with fresh produce provider The Giumarra Companies and Associated Wholesale Grocers to explore autonomous trucking's potential in the fresh food industry. The trial started in Nogales, Arizona, where TuSimple's truck was loaded up with fresh watermelons from Giumarra's facility.

Scientists use AI to find tiny craters on Mars
The High-Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera aboard NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter took this image of a crater cluster on Mars, the first ever to be discovered by artificial intelligence (AI). NASA said, "These craters were created by several pieces of a single meteor. The largest of the craters is about 13 feet (4 meters) wide. In total, the craters span about 100 feet (30 meters) of the red planet's surface. The craters were found in a region called Noctis Fossae, located at latitude -3.213, longitude 259.415."

Border Control Agencies May One Day Use AI to Detect Travelers' Lies
Border control agencies are already using self-service kiosks to manage the crowds of international travelers entering their countries, but a high-tech type of kiosk in development can do more than just scan passports. The AVATAR--which stands for Automated Virtual Agent for Truth Assessments in Real-Time--can detect travelers trying to lie their way through customs, according to Vocativ. The self-service kiosks, created by the National Center for Border Security and Immigration at the University of Arizona in partnership with the Department of Homeland Security [PDF], scan travelers' passports and ask the kinds of questions posed by human agents, such as "Do you have any fruits or vegetables?" Sensors can identify body cues like facial expression, vocal tics, pupil dilation--and even cues that human agents can't see, like cardiorespiratory data--which could indicate that the person is lying and should be subject to additional screening. They can even see that you're curling your toes, according to a press statement from AVATAR researcher Aaron Elkins of San Diego State University, a professor who studies deception. The kiosks can be programmed to display several virtual agents, choosing from a woman or a man and a stern or a friendly face.

THE TECHNOLOGICAL CITIZEN » "Moral Machines" By Wendell Wallach and Collin Allen
In the 2004 film I, Robot, Will Smith's character Detective Spooner harbors a deep grudge for all things technological -- and turns out to be justified after a new generation of robots engage in a full out, summer blockbuster-style revolt against their human creators. Why was Detective Spooner such a Luddite–even before the Robots' vicious revolt? Much of his resentment stems from a car accident he endured in which a robot saved his life instead of a little girl's. The robot's decision haunts Smith's character throughout the movie; he feels the decision lacked emotion, and what one might call'humanity'. "I was the logical choice," he says. "(The robot) calculated that I had a 45% chance of survival. Sarah only had an 11% chance." He continues, dramatically, "But that was somebody's baby. A human being would've known that."
