A senior ministerial aide said AI companies would never have to compensate creatives for using their content to train their systems, in a statement that has alarmed campaigners demanding Labour deliver a fairer deal for musicians, artists and writers from the tech industry. Kirsty Innes, recently appointed as a special adviser to Liz Kendall, the secretary of state for science, innovation and technology, said "whether or not you philosophically believe the big AI firms should compensate content creators, they in practice will never legally have to". The government is consulting on how creatives should be compensated by AI firms and only last week leading British artists including Mick Jagger, Kate Bush and Paul McCartney urged Keir Starmer to stand up for creators' human rights and protect their work. Innes, who previously worked at the Tony Blair Institute (TBI) thinktank, has deleted the statement, which she posted to X in February, seven months before she became a ministerial adviser. In the deleted posts, seen by the Guardian, she said: "A lot of this has already happened and it can continue to happen outside the UK, whatever our laws say."

A new artificial intelligence tool designed to crack down on fraud has helped the UK government recover almost £500m over the last year, the BBC can reveal. More than a third of the money clawed back related to fraudulent activity during the Covid-19 pandemic, with other cash being recouped from unlawful council tax claims and illegal subletting of social housing. The government will announce later that a new AI tool which has helped to identify the fraud will now be licensed to other countries, including the US and Australia. Civil liberties campaigners have previously criticised the Labour government for its use of AI in trying to counter fraud. The Cabinet Office says the £480m recovered in the 12 months from April 2024 is the largest sum ever reclaimed by government anti-fraud teams in a single year.

A South Korean court has handed a 15-year prison sentence to the boss of a lithium battery maker after a deadly fire last year. In June 2024, a blaze at a plant in Hwaseong city, about 45km (28 miles) south of the capital Seoul, killed 23 people, including 18 foreign workers, and injured eight others. The court found the blaze was an anticipated disaster and that Aricell chief executive Park Soon-kwan and other executives had caused the deaths of the workers. It is the longest jail term imposed under the country's industrial safety law, which punishes owners or bosses of firms with at least a year in prison, or fines of up to 1 billion won ($717,000; £530,000), for fatal incidents. Prosecutors had sought a 20-year term, arguing that company executives had made changes to the plant that meant it was difficult for workers to escape the fire.

An escalator used by Donald Trump abruptly stopped because of a safety mechanism that may have been triggered by his videographer, the United Nations has said. The videographer had been travelling backwards up the escalator to capture the US president's arrival with First Lady Melania Trump and may have inadvertently triggered the safety function upon reaching the top, a UN spokesperson said. Trump jokingly referred to the incident during his Tuesday speech at the UN building, saying: If the First Lady wasn't in great shape, she would've fallen. The White House had raised concerns that someone deliberately stopped the escalator as the couple were stepping on. If someone at the U.N. intentionally stopped the escalator as the President and First Lady were stepping on, they need to be fired and investigated immediately, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt posted on X after the incident.

Abstract--This article examines state estimation in discrete-time nonlinear stochastic systems with finite-dimensional states and infinite-dimensional measurements, motivated by real-world applications such as vision-based localization and tracking. We develop an extended Kalman filter (EKF) for real-time state estimation, with the measurement noise modeled as an infinite-dimensional random field. When applied to vision-based state estimation, the measurement Jacobians required to implement the EKF are shown to correspond to image gradients. This result provides a novel system-theoretic justification for the use of image gradients as features for vision-based state estimation, contrasting with their (often heuristic) introduction in many computer-vision pipelines. We demonstrate the practical utility of the EKF on a public real-world dataset involving the localization of an aerial drone using video from a downward-facing monocular camera. The EKF is shown to outperform VINS-MONO, an established visual-inertial odometry algorithm, in some cases achieving mean squared error reductions of up to an order of magnitude.

Even though current generation of AI is underpinned by a common technology - namely machine learning, especially in the form of deep learning - in the public eye it has not emerged as a single solution. Rather, it has taken shape through multiple and overlapping applications - ranging from predictive diagnostics in healthcare and algorithmic hiring systems in HR to autonomous weapons and generative language models. As AI becomes increasingly embedded in sector - specific infrastructures, the question of how publics perceive its us e is gaining urgency. Existing literature on public perception of AI suggests that attitudes are highly sensitive to the application domain . People tend to be more supportive of AI in domains where it is perceived to augment human capacity (e.g., in medical diagnostics) and more sceptical when AI is seen as replacing judg e ment or threatening civil liberties or rights (e.g., in security or surveillance). These perceptions are shaped not only by technical features of the AI system but also by institutional trust, cultural attitude s toward risk, and the moral economy of the domain in question. Despite this, few reviews have systematically compared public perceptions across sectors and explored the cross - domain patterns and differences in attitudes.

Federated Learning (FL) offers a decentralized solution that allows collaborative local model training and global aggregation, thereby protecting data privacy. In conventional FL frameworks, data privacy is typically preserved under the assumption that local data remains absolutely private, whereas the mobility of clients is frequently neglected in explicit modeling. In this paper, we propose a hierarchical federated learning framework based on the social network with mobility namely HFL-SNM that considers both data sharing among clients and their mobility patterns. Under the constraints of limited resources, we formulate a joint optimization problem of resource allocation and client scheduling, which objective is to minimize the energy consumption of clients during the FL process. In social network, we introduce the concepts of Effective Data Coverage Rate and Redundant Data Coverage Rate. We analyze the impact of effective data and redundant data on the model performance through preliminary experiments. We decouple the optimization problem into multiple sub-problems, analyze them based on preliminary experimental results, and propose Dynamic Optimization in Social Network with Mobility (DO-SNM) algorithm. Experimental results demonstrate that our algorithm achieves superior model performance while significantly reducing energy consumption, compared to traditional baseline algorithms.

Artificial intelligence is making steady advances into subtitling but, say its practitioners, it's a vital service that needs a human to make it work I s artificial intelligence going to destroy the SDH [subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing] industry? It's a valid question because, while SDH is the default subtitle format on most platforms, the humans behind it - as with all creative industries - are being increasingly devalued in the age of AI. "SDH is an art, and people in the industry have no idea. They think it's just a transcription," says Max Deryagin, chair of Subtle, a non-profit association of freelance subtitlers and translators.

'Joaquinraptor casali' was one of the Cretaceous Era's last apex predators. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Paleontologists have discovered a carnivorous dinosaur in central Patagonia that they believe occupied the top of the Late Cretacean food chain. For additional proof, they point to its likely final meal. According to new analysis published on September 23 in the journal, appears to have died with an ancient, nearly 8-inch-long crocodile leg next to its jaws.
