AI tool helps stranded protesters find their way home in the Indian capital
The young woman, who asked to remain anonymous for fear of further reprisals from the authorities, said she was detained on Sunday as thousands of people congregated in central New Delhi. They were demanding the resignation of India's Chief Election Commissioner, Gyanesh Kumar, over alleged irregularities in electoral rolls, which saw the removal of 133 million people from the voter lists. With no cash and her phone battery drained, the woman spent nearly an hour wandering along a dark road, trying to figure out what to do next. A car pulled up and the driver asked if she needed any help. "I was frightened and completely lost. When those volunteers finally helped me get back safely, it felt like a miracle. I had never imagined that someone I had never met would come forward to help me like that," she told Al Jazeera.

The chatbot murder guide: AI's struggle between privacy, reporting violence
For months before carrying out Canada's deadliest school shooting in almost four decades, Jesse Van Rootselaar was consulting an unlikely adviser on how to perpetrate mass murder. "In a hallway, indoors, or a crowded classroom, the 870 [Remington shotgun] is brutal Close quarters is its playground," OpenAI's ChatGPT guided the 18-year-old, according to reports. Earlier this week, on October 14, US authorities charged a Washington State man with allegedly conspiring with Van Rootselaar to plan the attack. But the mass shooting incident has raised questions that go beyond the traditional legal understanding of culpability. The British Columbia government in September filed a civil lawsuit against OpenAI and its CEO Sam Altman, accusing them of failing to prevent the incident and claiming they were aware of the conversations that turned deadly.

Banks say Healey is planning Budget tax raid on their profits
Senior banking executives have told the BBC they expect the sector to be on the menu when the chancellor announces his Budget in two weeks' time. John Healey has described the banks as part of the crown jewels of the UK economy, yet has refused to rule out a raid on the sector. The biggest four banks collectively made around £15bn profit in the first six months of this year, leading to calls from trade unions and others for additional taxes.
