World's first touch-sensing bionic hand with lightning-fast response
Tech expert Kurt Knutsson says the Ability Hand brings real touch, natural movement and unmatched durability. Losing a hand or limb is a life-changing event, and finding a prosthetic that can truly feel has long been a challenge. For many, traditional prosthetics offer limited movement and no sense of touch, making everyday tasks difficult and frustrating. But what if a prosthetic hand could do more than just move? What if it could actually feel the objects you touch, giving you real-time feedback and control?
Trump targets massive investments in first Middle East trip
Former President Donald Trump is embarking this week on a high-stakes tour of the Persian Gulf region, targeting business deals and strategic partnerships with three oil-rich nations: Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar. The trip marks Trump's first major foreign visit of his new term and comes as nuclear negotiations with Iran drag on and as war continues between Israel and the Palestinian terror organization, Hamas, in the Gaza Strip. While business is the official focus, the backdrop is anything but calm. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt described the mission as part of Trump's broader vision that "extremism is defeated [through] commerce and cultural exchanges." Under President Joe Biden, U.S. relations with Gulf states cooled, particularly after Biden vowed to make Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman a "pariah" over the 2018 killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
Over 2,800 websites used to spread AMOS malware
Kurt "CyberGuy" Knutsson says hackers are using CAPTCHAs to infect your PC with malware. Ransomware gangs once thrived on infected email attachments and bogus invoices, but security-savvy users and hardened mail gateways have weakened those tactics. Attackers are now focusing on a subtler trick that targets the small checkbox labeled "I'm not a robot" that most people click without thinking. A widespread campaign known as MacReaper has compromised more than 2,800 legitimate websites and redirects visitors to an infection process designed specifically for Apple computers. The operation relies on visual trust signals, including a convincing fake of Google's reCAPTCHA, along with hidden clipboard code that ends with the installation of Atomic macOS Stealer malware, a data-harvesting infostealer distributed through Telegram.
Pope Leo dishes advice to journalists, mentions AI challenge in first news conference
OutKick writer Mary Katharine Ham and Democratic strategist Kevin Walling join'MediaBuzz' to discuss the election of Pope Leo XIV, the first American pope in history, and the U.S. trade deal with the U.K. Pope Leo XIV wrapped up his first meeting with Vatican-accredited journalists Monday morning. More than 1,000 members of the media were assembled to hear his remarks, according to the New York Times. Some of them even took their children. The gathering took place in the Vatican's Paul VI Hall, Vatican Media reported. There, the pontiff "thanked reporters in Italian for their tireless work over these intense few weeks."
AI tool scans faces to predict biological age and cancer survival
Fox News anchor Bret Baier has the latest on the Murdoch Children's Research Institute's partnership with the Gladstone Institutes for the'Decoding Broken Hearts' initiative on'Special Report.' A simple selfie could hold hidden clues to one's biological age -- and even how long they'll live. That's according to researchers from Mass General Brigham, who developed a deep-learning algorithm called FaceAge. Using a photo of someone's face, the artificial intelligence tool generates predictions of the subject's biological age, which is the rate at which they are aging as opposed to their chronological age. FaceAge also predicts survival outcomes for people with cancer, according to a press release from MGB.
Silicon, steel and megawatts: Can America create the infrastructure needed to win the AI race?
Fox News anchor Bret Baier has the latest on the Murdoch Children's Research Institute's partnership with the Gladstone Institutes for the'Decoding Broken Hearts' initiative on'Special Report.' This week's Senate hearing on U.S. competitiveness in artificial intelligence made it clear that we are not just in an AI race with China and the rest of the world. We are in a race to build the foundation of the 21st century global economy while strengthening our national security. That foundation is made of silicon, steel and megawatts. America's ability to lead in AI hinges on a simple but urgent question โ can we build the computing infrastructure fast enough to unleash AI's full potential and drive a competitive advantage? The emerging AI cloud computing infrastructure is not like the general-purpose cloud that still powers most of the digital world.
Trump admin fires top US copyright official days after terminating Librarian of Congress
An AI art lecturer said he believes the U.S. government would encounter difficulty if it attempted to establish a watermark system for AI-generated content. Trump fired Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden, who was the first woman and first African American to be Librarian of Congress, on Thursday. The termination was part of the administration's ongoing purge of government officials who are perceived to be opposed to Trump and his agenda. The White House did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's requests for comment on the matter. Like Perlmutter, Hayden was notified of her firing in an email, according to The Associated Press.
Boys, ages 7 and 9, seen in armed standoff receiving assistance from deputies
Bernalillo County Sheriff's Office released video of a February incident involving two young boys with a gun. A New Mexico sheriff's office is defending its decision not to arrest two young boys, ages 7 and 9, seen in drone footage in an armed standoff with deputies. Video released Thursday by the Bernalillo County Sheriff's Office (BCSO) shows the two boys dressed in Minecraft and Star Wars-themed pajamas standing behind a covered air-conditioning unit and carrying a loaded handgun. In the nearly six minutes of footage shared, the children are seen looking around as if they are trying to avoid detection and capture. Eventually, the boys are surrounded and detained by deputies.
Army ditches helicopters for new radical air assault planes
Fox News contributor Brett Velicovich joins'Fox & Friends First' to discuss Secretary's Hegseth's sweeping Army transformation, how Russia has responded to the U.S. minerals deal with Ukraine and the military bolstering drone technology. This is how the Army will island hop in the Pacific to fend off China. And by the way, Chinese President Xi Jinping has nothing like it. With a stunning announcement, the Army did more than ax 40 generals and open the door to AI. The Army bet its future on this radical aircraft, whose engines swivel to take off and land like a helicopter, or fly high and fast like an airplane.
US Marine Corps creates attack drone team as arms race with Russia, China heats up
Fox News contributor and Army veteran Brett Velicovich shares insight into the United States' drone capabilities and how it compares to adversaries like Russia and China. The U.S. Marine Corps established an attack drone team earlier this year to respond to the rapid development of armed first-person view (FPV) drone technology and tactics, offering a glimpse into the evolving landscape of modern warfare and how future battles could be fought. The Marine Corps Attack Drone Team (MCADT) will be based at the Weapons Training Battalion, Marine Corps Base in Quantico, Virginia. The FPV drones used will offer squad-level lethality at a range of up to 20 kilometers, nearly 12.5 miles, for under 5,000, compared to more expensive weapons systems with less capability, according to a press release from the service. "MCADT is committed to rapidly integrating armed first-person view drones into the FMF [Fleet Marine Force], enhancing small-unit lethality and providing organic capabilities that warfighters currently lack," said Maj. Alejandro Tavizon, the headquarters company commander at Weapons Training Battalion and officer in charge of MCADT.
