This paper develops a high-density air corridor traffic flow model for Uncrewed Aircraft System (UAS) operation in urban low altitude airspace. To maximize throughput with safe separation guarantees, we define an airspace spatiotemporal planning problem. For the spatial planning, we propose a multi-floor UAS coordination structure divided into a finite number of air corridors safely wrapping buildings and obstacles. We use the USGS Lidar data to map buildings and in turn generate air corridors by modeling UAS coordination as ideal fluid flow with the streamlines obtained by solving the Laplace partial differential equation (PDE). Proper boundary conditions for the differential equations are imposed to direct air corridors along the floors desired motion direction. For temporal planning, we use 4-dimensional path-finding through the corridor network with A* search to maximize airspace usability given each UAS initial and destination waypoint pair.

In the past few months, artificial intelligence has managed to pass the bar exam, create award-winning art, and diagnose sick patients better than most physicians. Soon it might eliminate millions of jobs. At least those are the arguments being made by its boosters and detractors in Silicon Valley. But Amba Kak, the executive director of the AI Now Institute, a New York–based group studying artificial intelligence's effects on society, says Americans should view the technology with neither a sense of mystery nor a feeling of awed resignation. The former Federal Trade Commission adviser thinks regulators need to analyze AI's consumer and business applications with a shrewd, empowered skepticism. Kak and I discussed how to understand AI, the risks it poses, whether the technology is overhyped, and how to regulate it. Our conversation has been condensed and edited for clarity.

Editor's note: This is part of a KSL.com series looking at the rise of artificial intelligence technology tools such as ChatGPT, the opportunities and risks they pose and what impacts they could have on various aspects of our daily lives. SALT LAKE CITY -- Like all lawmakers in Utah's citizen Legislature, House Majority Whip Jefferson Moss spends most of the year working a day job. Moss, a Republican from Saratoga Springs, has a background in venture capital and technology, so he was quick to see the potential for artificially intelligent chatbots like ChatGPT when it was released last November. And while government as a whole can be slow to adopt new technology, Moss already sees recent breakthroughs in AI technology as huge leaps forward. "I've been following different iterations of AI, but when ChatGPT came out, it really was a game-changer," Moss told KSL.com in March.

A new draft guidance by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) would allow developers of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) digital health solutions to make changes to their products without submitting a new application. The plan would let submissions include predetermined change control plans (PCCP) that would lay out how developers would ensure changes are safe and effective. According to Ferdous Al-Farique, "While the agency has already allowed more than 500 AI/ML products on the market, many of which already allow PCCP, Congress passed legislation as part of the 2023 Consolidated Appropriations Act that gave FDA explicit authority to approve PCCPs as part of AI/ML product applications."

The United States space agency (NASA) has unveiled the four-member crew for its upcoming mission around the moon, a team that includes the first woman, the first person of colour and the first Canadian assigned to a lunar mission. At a ceremony on Monday in Houston, Texas, NASA announced that Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Hammock Koch and Jeremy Hansen would crew the Artemis II mission for a 10-day flight, marking the agency's first manned moon voyage in over half a century. "For the first time in more than 50 years, these individuals -- the Artemis II crew -- will be the first humans to fly to the vicinity of the Moon," Vanessa Wyche, director of the Johnson Space Center, said in a statement. The launch, scheduled for 2024, will be only the second in the Artemis programme, a multinational initiative to establish a "long-term presence at the moon". The last time a manned crew approached the moon was in 1972, as part of NASA's Apollo programme. "This mission paves the way for the expansion of human deep space exploration and presents new opportunities for scientific discoveries, commercial, industry and academic partnerships," Wyche said.

Even a halfway-decent political campaign knows you better than you know yourself. A candidate's army of number crunchers vacuums up any morsel of personal information that might affect the choice we make at the polls. In 2020, Donald Trump and the Republican Party compiled 3,000 data points on every single voter in America. In 2012, the data nerds helped Barack Obama parse the electorate to microtarget his door-knocking efforts toward the most-persuadable swing voters. And in 1960, John F. Kennedy had the People Machine.

FOX Business correspondent Lydia Hu has the latest on jobs at risk as AI further develops on'America's Newsroom.' The only member of Congress with an advanced degree in artificial intelligence says lawmakers should move slowly to impose new regulations on AI, in part because policymakers and even experts in the field have yet to lay out clear regulatory objectives. Rep. Jay Obernolte, R-Calif., says this deliberate approach is a good thing, despite pressure from high-profile tech leaders to halt AI development until its dangers are better understood. In an interview with Fox News Digital, Obernolte said it makes no sense to start regulating until Congress knows precisely what dangers it's trying to avoid. "Before we can create a regulatory framework around AI, we have to very explicit about what our goals are with our regulation," Obernolte said.

Launched in 2017, Anduril has grown quickly since its founding building technology for military agencies and border surveillance with the help of AI. The company makes defence hardware, including long-flying drones and surveillance towers that connect to a shared software platform it calls Lattice OS. Lattice OS is an autonomous sensemaking, and command and control platform that serves as the core platform for its suite of capabilities. Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Ltd. is an Israeli defence technology company. It was founded as Israel's National R&D Defense Laboratory for the development of weapons and military technology within the Israeli Ministry of Defense; in 2002 it was incorporated as a limited company.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE The European Union's Artificial Intelligence Act, explained The proposed Artificial Intelligence Act would classify AI systems by risk and mandate various development and use requirements. Spencer Feingold Digital Editor, World Economic Forum Share: OUR IMPACT What's the World Economic Forum doing to accelerate action on Artificial Intelligence? The proposed Artificial Intelligence Act would classify AI systems by risk and mandate various development and use requirements. European lawmakers are still debating the details, with many stressing the need to both foster AI innovation and protect the public. The European Union (EU) is considering a new legal framework that aims to significantly bolster regulations on the development and use of artificial intelligence.

NASA's Perseverance Rover has collected a sample of Martian rock to be returned to Earth which could contain signs of life. But don't get too excited yet, as this particular tube won't reach a terrestrial laboratory where it can be studied for another 10 years or so. It has been roaming Mars to look for sampling sites that might contain ancient microbes and organics for almost a year now. In that time, it has completed its first of four search campaigns, which focused on the crater floor and the base of the Neretva Vallis delta. NASA's Perseverance Rover has collected a sample of Martian rock which could contain signs of life. NASA's Perseverance rover (pictured) chooses a sample using its suite of onboard instruments to detect whether organic molecules are present in some rock before coring.
