Tesla Inc's advanced driver assistant software will not gain regulatory approval in 2022, Chief Executive Elon Musk said, signaling that the company is not yet able to satisfy authorities that its cars can be driven without someone behind the wheel. Tesla sells a $15,000 software add-on called "Full Self-Driving" (FSD) which enables its vehicles to change lanes and park autonomously. That complements its standard "Autopilot" feature, enabling cars to steer, accelerate and brake within their lanes without driver intervention. However, Tesla says the cars still need to be driven with human oversight. A highly autonomous vehicle would require regulatory approval in California, for example.

The Coalition for AI Health has announced it will meet this month to finalize its consensus-driven framework and share recommendations by year-end in a progress update. CHAI convened in December to develop consensus and mutual understanding with goals to tame the drive to buy artificial intelligence and machine learning products in healthcare and arm health IT decision-makers with academic research and vetted guidelines to help them choose dependable technologies that provide value. Through October 14, CHAI is accepting public comments on its work examining testability, usability and safety at a workshop with subject-matter experts from healthcare and other industries the organization held in July. Previously, CHAI produced a sizable paper on bias, equity and fairness based on a two-day convening and accepted public comments until the end of last month. The result will be a framework, the "Guidelines for the Responsible Use of AI in Healthcare," that intentionally fosters resilient AI assurance, safety and security, according to the October 6 progress update. "Application of AI brings a tremendous benefit for patient care, but so is its potential to exacerbate inequity in healthcare," said Dr. John Halamka, president of Mayo Clinic Platform and cofounder of the coalition in the update.

The Biden administration is exploring new export controls that would include investment in nascent quantum computing and artificial intelligence technologies.

Fox News' Trey Yingst reports on Ukraine's efforts to conserve electricity after Russian forces target Ukrainian power grid. Iran on Friday urged its citizens in Ukraine to leave the country and warned against travel to the war-torn nation one day after the U.S. accused Tehran of aiding Russia's war effort. "Due to the military escalation in Ukraine, all Iranians are strongly advised to refrain from traveling to Ukraine. Also, Iranians living in Ukraine are advised to leave the country for their own safety," the Iranian foreign ministry said in a statement, according to Reuters. The ministry did not mention comments made on Thursday by White House national security spokesperson John Kirby, who said the U.S. had learned that Iranian troops were "directly engaged on the ground" in Crimea helping Russia.

Fox News' Trey Yingst reports on Ukraine's efforts to conserve electricity after Russian forces target Ukrainian power grid. A cadre of bipartisan lawmakers traveled to Ukraine this week to meet with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy amid reports that Iran has begun arming Russia with military drones. Lawmakers from the House Intelligence Committee met with Zelenskyy on Thursday to discuss the war and ongoing aid efforts. Attending the meeting were Democratic Reps. The bipartisan nature of the visit was meant to show continued U.S. support for the Ukraine government and its people as they face a barrage of military attacks from Russia.

The war in Ukraine has an ominous new noise. People living in Afghanistan and Nagorno-Karabakh have talked about a sound that makes them run for cover. And on Monday, that whirr arrived in the skies above Kyiv. Russia has ramped up its use of Iranian-made "suicide drones" in Ukraine, which travel in groups and explode by diving at their targets, obliterating themselves in the process. On Monday, dozens of drones attacked Ukrainian cities during morning rush hour, killing at least four people when they struck an apartment building in Kyiv, the Ukrainian capital.

The concern is so prevalent that new responsible A.I. measures have been floated by federal government, requiring companies to vet for these biases and to run systems past humans to avoid them. Ray Eitel-Porter, managing director and global lead for responsible A.I. at Accenture, outlined during a virtual event hosted by Fortune on Thursday that the tech consulting firm operates around four "pillars" for implementing A.I.: principles and governance, policies and controls, technology and platforms, and culture and training. "The four pillars basically came from our engagement with a number of clients in this area and really recognizing where people are in their journey," he said. "Most of the time now, that's really about how you take your principles and put them into practice." Many companies these days have an A.I. framework.

Ukrainian and Israeli officials have held talks about Kyiv's request for Israel to provide air defence assistance, days after Russia allegedly deployed Iranian "kamikaze" drones as part of a new wave of air raids on the war-torn country. Ukrainian foreign minister Dmytro Kuleba said on Thursday he had spoken on the phone to Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid and "discussed in detail" the provision of air and missile defence systems and technology. "I informed him [about the] unspeakable suffering, loss of life, and destruction caused by Russian missiles and Iranian-made drones," he tweeted. I spoke to Israeli Prime Minister @YairLapid and informed him on unspeakable suffering, loss of life, and destruction caused by Russian missiles and Iranian-made drones. We discussed in detail Ukraine's request for Israel to provide air and missile defense systems and technology.

Fox News' Trey Yingst reports on Ukraine's efforts to conserve electricity after Russian forces target Ukrainian power grid. The Iranian military has personnel in Crimea to train Russian troops on how to pilot drones that have been decimating civilian infrastructure in Ukraine, the White House said Thursday. "They can lie to the world, but they certainly can't hide the facts, and the fact is this -- Tehran is now directly engaged on the ground," National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby told reporters. Russia started purchasing Shahed-136, or "kamikaze drones," from Iran this summer and have used them to strike Kyiv and other parts of Ukraine, according to U.S. and Ukrainian officials. A Russian drone is seen during a Russian drone strike, which local authorities consider to be Iranian made unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) Shahed-136, amid Russia's attack on Ukraine, in Kyiv, Ukraine Oct. 17, 2022.
