Border state law enforcement to shoot down 'weaponized' drug-smuggling drones
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."
ChatGPT's Deep Research tool can now output detailed PDFs - and I'm impressed
OpenAI's agentic AI Deep research tool, launched in February, can search the web and output a detailed report within 5-30 minutes, accomplishing a task that would take a person several hours. That handy tool just got even handier. On Monday, OpenAI announced that users can now output their Deep Research reports as PDFs that include all the report's elements, including tables, images, sources, and linked citations. Creating the PDF is easy: All users have to do is tap the "download as PDF" option at the top of the report, as seen in the video below.

Hotels can no longer hide this one thing from travelers
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.
Google's 'I'm feeling lucky' button might soon be replaced by AI mode
Even luck can't escape being replaced by AI. Since its inception, Google Search has had an "I'm feeling lucky" button alongside the regular search button. Instead of taking you to a page of results for your search, the lucky button takes you straight to the site for the first result. It was a time-saving trick in the days of slower internet, but now it's more of a playful throwback. Also: Google's Gemini 2.5 Pro update makes the AI model even better at coding Over the past several days, users have reported that the lucky button is gone.
Airbnb Is in Midlife Crisis Mode
As Brian Chesky tells it, the reinvention of Airbnb started with the coup at OpenAI. On November 17, 2023, the board of OpenAI fired company CEO Sam Altman. His friend Chesky leapt into action--publicly defending his pal on X, getting on the phone with Microsoft's CEO, and throwing himself into the thick of Altman's battle to retake OpenAI. Five days later Altman prevailed, and Chesky--"I was so jacked up," he says--turned his buzzing mind to his own company, Airbnb. The Chesky extended family had already held their turkey get-together a week earlier, and the Airbnb CEO had no holiday plan.
US tech firms secure AI deals as Trump tours Gulf states
A swath of US technology firms announced deals in the Middle East as Donald Trump trumpeted 600bn in commitments from Saudi Arabia to American artificial intelligence companies during a tour of Gulf states.

OpenAI's HealthBench shows AI's medical advice is improving - but who will listen?
Would you trust a chatbot to answer your medical questions? If so, how would you respond to its advice? The latest research by OpenAI suggests that new releases of bots are improving in the ability to generate responses to text-based prompts about medical situations, including emergencies. It's not clear, however, how relevant all that is, since it occurs entirely as a simulated exercise, rather than real-world testing in the clinic or in an actual emergency. The key question left unanswered may be, How would you as a person respond to an automated chat response in a medical emergency?
Your Android devices are getting a major Gemini upgrade - cars and watches included
Ahead of next week's Google I/O developer conference, where AI is expected to be the star of the show, Google on Tuesday unveiled a massive Gemini update, further expanding the AI assistant's availability across the Google ecosystem of devices. For starters, Google announced that Gemini will be coming to WearOS smartwatches later this year. This will allow users to take advantage of Gemini's conversational capabilities and talk to their watches naturally. The biggest advantage is that users can take advantage of hands-free assistance without the help of their phones. Some examples Google offers include setting reminders, getting assistance when your hands are covered in flour while cooking, or in the middle of a workout.
Apple explores letting people control iPhones with their brains, report says
Apple is working on a way for people with physical disabilities to control devices with their thoughts. On Tuesday, the tech giant announced a partnership with brain-computer interface (BCI) company Synchron that's developing an implantable device with electrodes that read brain signals. This technology enables Apple to translate these signals into actions like selecting icons on the screens of iPhones, iPads, and Apple Vision Pro "without the need for physical movement or voice commands," according to the press release. Pittsburgh resident Mark Jackson who has ALS has the Synchron brain implant called Stentrode, which is a "a stent-like device that is implanted in a vein atop the brain's motor cortex." The device "effectively translates brain waves, allowing a user to navigate around a screen and select an icon," the Journal wrote.
