Border state law enforcement to shoot down 'weaponized' drug-smuggling drones

FOX News

Raul Gastesi speaks with Fox News Digital about a bill moving through the Florida Senate that would give homeowners the right to use "reasonable force" to take down drones infringing on their privacy rights. A newly-minted law allowing Arizona law enforcement officers to shoot down drug-carrying drones along the U.S.-Mexico border has taken effect after sailing through the state's legislature with bipartisan support. HB 2733 was signed into law on April 18 and grants officers the ability to target drones suspected of carrying out illegal activity within 15 miles of the state's international border. "Cartels are increasingly using drones to survey the border to locate [U.S. Customs and Border Protection] officers' locations and to transport illegal drugs from Mexico into our state," state Rep. David Marshall, the bill's sponsor, said in a statement to Fox News Digital. "Law enforcement tools at [our] disposal will be electronic jamming devices, as well as using shotguns with bird shot to bring down these drones."


Hotels can no longer hide this one thing from travelers

FOX News

Artificial Intelligence is now being used to personalize eSIMS, potentially saving hundreds of dollars for travelers overseas. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has announced a new rule that will help protect travelers from all those unwanted add-on fees. The rule tackles "Unfair or Deceptive Fees." These are sometimes applied to short-term lodging as "resort" or "destination" fees when customers use hotel amenities such as pools or gyms. Short-term lodging includes hotels, motels, vacation rentals and businesses like Airbnb.


Flesh-eating New World Screwworm could pose health risks to cattle, humans

FOX News

Tech expert Kurt Knutsson discusses how robots can milk, feed and clean cows on dairy farms, boosting efficiency and comfort. A threat to American livestock โ€“ the New World Screwworm (NWS) fly, which has been considered eradicated from the country since 1966 -- has reemerged as a potential danger following an outbreak in Mexico. The news triggered a shutdown of cattle, horse and bison imports along the southern border, as U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Secretary Brooke Rollins announced in an X post on Sunday. "Due to the threat of New World Screwworm I am announcing the suspension of live cattle, horse, & bison imports through U.S. southern border ports of entry effective immediately," she wrote in the post. "The last time this devastating pest invaded America, it took 30 years for our cattle industry to recover.


World's first touch-sensing bionic hand with lightning-fast response

FOX News

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

FOX News

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

FOX News

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.

AI tool scans faces to predict biological age and cancer survival

FOX News

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

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

FOX News

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.
