Watch: AI app apologises over false crime alerts across US
A company behind an AI-powered app called CrimeRadar has apologised for the distress caused by false crime alerts issued to local US communities after a BBC Verify investigation. CrimeRadar uses artificial intelligence to monitor openly available police radio communications, automatically generating a transcript and then producing crime alerts for users across the US. BBC Verify has found multiple instances from Florida to Oregon of CrimeRadar sending misleading and inaccurate alerts about serious crime to local residents - as Thomas Copeland explains. The barge that wrecked in 1918, famous for a dramatic rescue, is now shifting closer to the falls as recent movements carry it further from its original resting spot. House Speaker Mike Johnson, Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer participated in the annual ceremony that commemorates the eight days of Hanukkah.
