United States President Donald Trump will undertake a three-day tour of the Gulf for his first state visit since retaking office in January.

He is expected to attend a Gulf summit in the city on Wednesday, visit Qatar later that day and conclude his visit in the UAE on Thursday.

The debate over the risks and harms of artificial intelligence often focuses on what governments can or should do. However, just as important are the choices that AI researchers themselves make. This week, in Singapore, more than 100 scientists from around the world proposed guidelines for how researchers should approach making AI more "trustworthy, reliable, and secure." The recommendations come at a time when the giants of generative AI, such as OpenAI and Google, have increasingly reduced disclosures about their AI models, so the public knows less and less about how the work is conducted. The guidelines grew out of an exchange among the scholars last month in Singapore, in conjunction with one of the most prestigious conferences on AI, the International Conference on Learning Representations -- the first time a major AI conference has taken place in Asia.

ChatGPT can go far beyond writing an email or coding a complex project. Some of the most useful applications are assistance with practical tasks in your everyday life, such as explaining that really complex x-ray diagnosis that is pure jargon or why your electric bill was sky-high (both based on real scenarios that happened to me). However, this requires you to give your personal information. If you are hesitant about giving ChatGPT your private information, you have good reason to be. The companies behind these popular generative AI tools, such as OpenAI, often use user inputs to further train the models and make them smarter.

Pope Leo, who was chosen as the new leader of the Catholic Church on Thursday, also highlighted the role journalists can play in bringing attention to injustice and poverty in the world. He urged the media to focus on reporting the truth instead of taking part in partisan divisions, and not to give space to "fanaticism and hatred." Speaking in the Vatican's Paul VI audience hall, he said "the way we communicate is of fundamental importance: we must say'no' to the war of words and images, we must reject the paradigm of war." "We do not need loud, forceful communication," he said, "but rather communication that is capable of listening and of gathering the voices of the weak who have no voice." The new pope also raised concerns about artificial intelligence, telling the assembled media they should use AI with "responsibility and discernment." Reporters should ensure that AI can be used for the "benefit of all of humanity," he said.

Police and federal agencies have found a controversial new way to skirt the growing patchwork of laws that curb how they use facial recognition: an AI model that can track people based on attributes like body size, gender, hair color and style, clothing, and accessories. The tool, called Track and built by the video analytics company Veritone, is used by 400 customers, including state and local police departments and universities all over the US. It is also expanding federally. The product has drawn criticism from the American Civil Liberties Union, which--after learning of the tool through MIT Technology Review--said it was the first instance they'd seen of a nonbiometric tracking system used at scale in the US. How the largest gathering of US police chiefs is talking about AI.
