IT IS increasingly obvious that we are on the cusp of a revolution in artificial intelligence that will be no less profound than the arrival of the printing press or the internet, as we explore in this special issue. Nobody can say for sure exactly what this future will be, but optimists – including many of those working in the companies behind the technologies – foresee one in which AI will allow us to live our best lives (see "How this moment for AI will change society forever").

Ukraine's defense minister said Wednesday his country has received the U.S-made Patriot surface-to-air guided missile systems it has long craved and which Kyiv hopes will help shield it from Russian airstrikes during the war. "Today, our beautiful Ukrainian sky becomes more secure because Patriot air defense systems have arrived in Ukraine," Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov said in a tweet. Ukrainian officials have previously said the arrival of Patriot systems, which Washington agreed to send last October, would be a major boost and a milestone in the war against Moscow's full-scale invasion.

The U.S. Navy sailed its first drone boat through the strategic Strait of Hormuz on Wednesday, a crucial waterway for global energy supplies where American sailors often faces tense encounters with Iranian forces. The trip by the L3 Harris Arabian Fox MAST-13, a 41-foot speedboat carrying sensors and cameras, drew the attention of Iran's Revolutionary Guard, but took place without incident, said Navy spokesman Cmdr. Two U.S. Coast Guard cutters, the USCGC Charles Moulthrope and USCGC John Scheuerman, accompanied the drone.

The Group of Seven digital ministers will call for accelerated research into generative artificial intelligence systems, such as ChatGPT, at a meeting later this month, a draft communique showed Wednesday, as the rapid proliferation of such tools has raised concerns about their potential impact on society. During their two-day talks from April 29 in Takasaki, Gunma Prefecture, the ministers aim to formulate an action plan on AI governance, according to the draft. With the Japanese government also considering discussing generative AI at a G7 summit in May in the city of Hiroshima, the topic is also expected to be mentioned in a joint statement by the leaders.

The London Metropolitan Police have been condemned by writers, journalist unions and activists for questioning and detaining a French publisher under the United Kingdom's Terrorism Act. Ernest Moret, foreign rights manager for popular science fiction author Alain Damasio as well as Editions La Fabrique, was on his way to the London Book Fair when he was stopped by police officers on Monday evening. Editions La Fabrique, in a joint statement with the British publishing house Verso Books, said police officers pulled Moret aside for questioning under Schedule 7 of the Terrorism Act after he arrived at London's St Pancreas railway station. The legislation gives police officers the power of stopping, questioning and detaining people to determine if they were involved in the "preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism", read a Metropolitan police's definition. The officers said Moret took part in demonstrations in France against a controversial pension reform, the publishers said in their statement.

AI developments from generating videos, voices, pictures and human-like conversations are growing rapidly, lawmakers say they are trying to keep up. WASHINGTON, D.C. – AI has the potential to both benefit and harm the U.S. in unknown and unimagined ways but Congress has hardly any experts on the rapidly developing technology, lawmakers told Fox News. "AI is going to help us in many ways. It can also kill us," Rep. Ted Lieu, a California Democrat said. "As a recovering computer science major, my understanding of AI on a scale of one to 10 is about a five. There's a lot I don't know."

Sundar Pichai told '60 Minutes' that the state of the technology is still somewhat of a black box to researchers. Several Republican senators are suggesting they are open to discussing how Congress can step in to regulate artificial intelligence systems after Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., announced he wants to put guardrails on the rapidly advancing sector. Multiple senators told Fox News Digital on Tuesday that they were concerned with the pace of unchecked AI advancement, though some also warned about the implications of hindering the industry's growth at a time when adversaries like China are moving full steam ahead to integrate AI into their own military and intelligence-gathering capabilities. None had seen Schumer's proposal, which is still in its very early stages. Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., cautioned that he was "no expert" in the complex field but said he was "concerned" about the possible effects of AI on society.

Fox News correspondent Grady Trimble has the latest on fears the technology will spiral out of control on'Special Report.' Artificial intelligence query platforms offer in many cases a hallucinatory hard-left version of politics and history. The same biases and outright lies that reshaped academia over the last 50 years and infected the American body politic with division are endemic throughout versions of historical events perpetuated by OpenAI's generative platform ChatGPT, according to a number of searches done by Fox News Digital. "Artificial Intelligence will simply reflect and magnify the mindset and ideology of its creators -- and impress those values upon the rest of us," Victor Davis Hanson, senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, told Fox News Digital. "In other words, we are creating Silicon Valley-minded Frankensteins and unleashing them on the nation," he said.

Thomas Fuchs, the Dean of Artificial Intelligence and Human Health at Mount Sinai in NYC, said AI will be needed to retain the standard of care in the U.S. Artificial intelligence (AI) is helping physicians to diagnose cancer more accurately at much faster rates and at a lower cost than previously possible, according to a scientist working in computational pathology. Dr. Thomas J. Fuchs, the Dean of Artificial Intelligence and Human Health at Mount Sinai in New York City, also works as the chief scientific officer at Paige AI, a company using AI to detect and treat cancer. The latest study from the company tasked 16 pathologists with the review of 610 whole-slide images prepared at multiple institutions globally. They reviewed the slides once without assistance, and then again with assistance from the Pathology Artificial Intelligence Guidance Engine (Paige AI). When Paige AI was used, diagnostic errors reduced by 70%.
