Trump says Biden admin 'knows what is happening' on drones
President-elect Donald Trump ripped the Biden administration for selling border wall materials while delivering remarks from Mar-a-Lago, vowing to deliver'prosperity' ahead of his second term. President-elect Trump claims that President Biden's administration "knows what is happening" regarding unexplained drone sightings over New Jersey, New York and other states. Trump made the statement Monday during a lengthy press conference with reporters at Mar-a-Lago, saying the U.S. military certainly knows the origin of the drones. "The government knows what is happening. Look, our military knows where they took off from. If it's a garage they can go right inside. They know where it came from and where it went," Trump said.
Biden admin warns AI in schools may exhibit racial bias, anti-trans discrimination and trigger investigations
Many people in Nashville say they don't trust artificial intelligence chatbots to give them unbiased information amid the backlash Google faces over its Gemini program. On Tuesday, the Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights (OCR) released presidentially-mandated guidance that lays out how schools' use of artificial intelligence (AI) can be discriminatory toward minority and transgender students, "likely" opening them up to federal investigations. President Biden signed Executive Order 14110 last year mandating that the Education Department develop resources, policies and guidance regarding AI in schools to help ensure responsible and non-discriminatory use, "including the impact AI systems have on vulnerable and underserved communities." "The growing use of AI in schools, including for instructional and school safety purposes, and AI's ability to operate on a mass scale can create or contribute to discrimination," the Education Department's guidance states. "This resource provides information regarding federal civil rights laws in OCR's jurisdiction and includes examples of types of incidents that could, depending on the facts and circumstances, present OCR with sufficient reason to open an investigation."

SCOTUS to take up challenge to Biden admin's ghost gun rule that group deems 'abusive'
Senate Intelligence Committee member Marco Rubio, R-Fla., tells'Hannity' the idea of citizenship is in danger. The Supreme Court announced Monday that it will hear a challenge to the Biden administration's regulation on so-called "ghost guns" next term. The rule in question was issued in 2022 by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) to regulate "buy build shoot" kits that are available online or in stores that allow any individual to assemble a working firearm without a background check or the usual serial numbers required by the federal government. The Fifth Circuit late last year struck down the rule, but the Justice Department appealed to the Supreme Court. The DOJ argued that the Gun Control Act of 1968 permits the rule because it defines a "firearm" to include "any weaponโฆwhich will or is designed to or may readily be converted to expel a projectile by the action of an explosive," as well as "the frame or receiver of any such weapon."
Biden admin's pact with nations not a 'serious' step to counter dangers of new tech: experts
Fox News correspondent Gillian Turner has the latest on the presidents focus amid calls for an impeachment inquiry on Special Report. The U.S. and U.K. joined more than a dozen countries to unveil a new artifical intelligence agreement aimed at preventing rogue actors from abusing the technology, though not all experts are sold on how useful the pact will be. "This is really more of an agreement of intent than actual substance," Phil Siegel, founder of the Center for Advanced Preparedness and Threat Response Simulation, told Fox News Digital. Siegel's comments come after what a U.S. official described as the first ever detailed agreement on AI safety was unveiled Sunday, according to a report from Reuters, putting measures in place that are meant to create AI systems that are "secure by design." Vice President Kamala Harris watches President Biden sign an executive order during an AI event at the White House on Oct. 30, 2023.
Biden admin silent amid growing concern from lawmakers over rapid development of AI technology
Unanimous AI's chief scientist and CEO Louis Rosenberg and Center for AI and Digital Policy founder Marc Rotenberg explain why they signed an open letter with Elon Musk calling for a pause of artificial intelligence developments. The Biden administration is silent about whether it has concern over the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) or whether it believes it should be federally regulated as both Democrat and Republican lawmakers, as well as some tech moguls, urge government intervention. When reached for comment about the issue on Wednesday morning, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre referred Fox News Digital to the National Security Council (NSC), which serves as Biden's "principal forum for considering national security and foreign policy matters with his or her senior advisors and cabinet officials." Despite signaling that it would respond rapidly to Fox News's request, after more than 24 hours, the NSC did not provide comment on Biden administration's reaction to the call for an AI development moratorium. The White House's silence amid the rise in AI comes after a letter signed by Tesla CEO Elon Musk, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak and other tech giants cited "profound risks to society and humanity" and called for a six-month pause to advanced AI developments.
Oversight Republicans to hold eight hearings on Biden admin in three days: 'Accountability is coming'
The House Oversight Committee is stepping up oversight of the Biden administration with eight expected hearings being held over the next three days. "We have eight hearings this week!" The first hearings kick off Wednesday on COVID origins, advances in artificial intelligence, the border crisis and the depletion of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR). The border hearing will feature testimony from chief border patrol agents and the COVID origins investigation will showcase the former Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) director and health and science experts. Thursday, the committee will examine the role of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), the government's largest employer, and also "waste, fraud and abuse" in pandemic spending.
US to provide Ukraine with M982 Excalibur munitions as part of Biden admin's new $775M weapons package: report
Republican Rep. Greg Steube weighs in on the U.S.'s announcement for an additional $775 million in new Ukraine military aid, along with the impact of illegal immigration on Florida's coastal border. The U.S. reportedly is set to provide Ukraine with M982 Excalibur munitions. "These precision-guided munitions will aid Ukraine's counter-offensive against Russia, which is focused on targeting ammunition depots and military installations," foreign relations expert, Samuel Ramani, tweeted. "Scan Eagle surveillance drones, which the U.S. also provides, will amplify their impact." The Ukrainian outlet appeared to draw from reporting by Politico, tweeting: "A source close to the deliberations of the latest military aid package shared with Politico that the M982 Excalibur rounds, traveling up to 70km, will be sent to Ukraine'at some point in the future.'"
Use of algorithms, AI for hiring risks discriminating against disabled, Biden admin says
The Biden administration announced Thursday that employers who use algorithms and artificial intelligence to make hiring decisions risk violating the Americans with Disabilities Act if applicants with disabilities are disadvantaged in the process. The majority of American employers now use the automated hiring technology -- tools such as resume scanners, chatbot interviewers, gamified personality tests, facial recognition and voice analysis. The ADA is supposed to protect people with disabilities from employment discrimination, but just 19 percent of disabled Americans were employed in 2021, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Kristen Clarke, the assistant attorney general for civil rights at the Department of Justice, which made the announcement jointly with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, told NBC News there is "no doubt" that increased use of the technologies is "fueling some of the persistent discrimination." "We hope this sends a strong message to employers that we are prepared to stand up for people with disabilities who are locked out of the job market because of increased reliance on these bias-fueled technologies," she said.
