Welcome to the Fox News Politics newsletter, with the latest updates on the Trump administration, Capitol Hill and more Fox News politics content. FIRST ON FOX: The intelligence community did not have any direct information that Russian President Vladimir Putin wanted to help elect Donald Trump during the 2016 presidential election, but, at the "unusual" direction of then-President Barack Obama, published "potentially biased" or "implausible" intelligence suggesting otherwise, the House Intelligence Committee found. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard declassified a report prepared by the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence back in 2020… READ MORE.

"Face the Nation" host Margaret Brennan asked Trump Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick whether AI helped construct some of the tariff policies. CBS' Margaret Brennan asked Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick whether artificial intelligence was involved in designing President Donald Trump's broad tariff policies on Sunday. The "Face the Nation" host confronted Lutnick on Trump's "Liberation Day" announcement, which saw significant tariff increases across numerous countries. This included a baseline tariff of 10% on all U.S. imports that began on Saturday. The announcement caused chaos for investors as the stock market suffered some of its worst losses since the COVID pandemic in 2020.

Hedges allow speakers to mark utterances as provisional, whether to signal non-prototypicality or "fuzziness", to indicate a lack of commitment to an utterance, to attribute responsibility for a statement to someone else, to invite input from a partner, or to soften critical feedback in the service of face-management needs. Here we focus on hedges in an experimentally parameterized corpus of 63 Roadrunner cartoon narratives spontaneously produced from memory by 21 speakers for co-present addressees, transcribed to text (Galati and Brennan, 2010). We created a gold standard of hedges annotated by human coders (the Roadrunner-Hedge corpus) and compared three LLM-based approaches for hedge detection: fine-tuning BERT, and zero and few-shot prompting with GPT-4o and LLaMA-3. The best-performing approach was a fine-tuned BERT model, followed by few-shot GPT-4o. After an error analysis on the top performing approaches, we used an LLM-in-the-Loop approach to improve the gold standard coding, as well as to highlight cases in which hedges are ambiguous in linguistically interesting ways that will guide future research. This is the first step in our research program to train LLMs to interpret and generate collateral signals appropriately and meaningfully in conversation.

A new report reveals that Robocall scam are on the rise in America amid the advancement of AI that can clone voices - even that of the US President Joe Biden. A fake recorded message impersonating Biden was unleashed in New Hampshire this week, which urged Democrats now to vote in the primary. 'Voting this Tuesday only enables the Republicans in their quest to elect Donald Trump again. Your vote makes a difference in November, not this Tuesday,' victims heard on the phone. The malicious campaign highlights the dangers of technology that is running rampant in the US - Americans are hit with 78 billion robocalls and 225 billion robotexts per year - a more than 50 percent jump from 2021.

Vice President Harris appeared stunned by CBS' Margaret Brennan's question about whether she was taking the threat of another Trump presidency "seriously enough." Vice President Kamala Harris appeared stunned by a question from CBS host Margaret Brennan, who wondered if she was taking the possibility of another Donald Trump presidency "seriously enough." Harris looked taken aback, pausing before responding, "I don't understand the question." "You were dismissive of some of the Republican criticism of you and the president. When you look at current polling, the frontrunner for the Republican nomination is the former president, the 45th president," Brennan added on "Face The Nation."

Using only a few seconds of brain activity data, the AI guesses what a person has heard. It lists the correct answer in its top 10 possibilities up to 73 percent of the time, researchers found in a preliminary study. The AI's "performance was above what many people thought was possible at this stage," says Giovanni Di Liberto, a computer scientist at Trinity College Dublin who was not involved in the research.

Love them or hate them, chatbots are here to stay. That's not to say that chatbots are the be-all-end-all of customer service. Just as ATMs didn't make bank tellers obsolete, neither will chatbots fully replace "real" agents. In fact, cutting-edge customer service centers are using the technology that powers chatbots to help human agents to do their jobs better. AI can augment the human customer service experience.

Most artificial intelligence systems strive for 95% accuracy of results when benchmarked against the traditional methods of determining outcomes. But how can organizations safeguard against systems so the AI doesn't inadvertently inject bias that affects the accuracy of results? Bias can be injected into AI by faulty algorithms, by lack of complete data on which the algorithms operate or even by machine learning that operates on certain biased assumptions. One example is an Amazon recruiting tool that began with an AI project in 2014. The intent of the AI application was to save recruiters time going through resumes.

Who wants to live forever? Until recently, the quest to slow ageing or even reverse it was the stuff of legends – or scams. But, today, an evidence-based race to delay or prevent ageing is energising scientists worldwide. Scientists say there are already a number of things we can do to extend life and health, while promising that current and ongoing large-scale trials of drugs and other interventions mean the once-mythical goal of healthy, longer-lived lives is not far away. "Death is inevitable but ageing is not," said Dr Nir Barzilai, founding director of the Institute for Aging Research at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, New York.

The bipedal robot, which stands nearly two feet tall, can do more than just sing and dance. It uses artificial intelligence to recognize patients' faces and engage in conversation – in various languages. Built by SoftBank Robotics of San Francisco, NAO has 25 degrees of freedom to move and adapt to its surroundings, seven touch sensors, four directional microphones and speakers and two 2D cameras. CHOP initially plans to use the robot as a welcoming tool, one that will regularly participate in entertainment programs, including the hospital's live television shows. Next week, it will participate in a Bingo program, calling out the numbers and announcing the names of children who win. "And that's just the tip of the iceberg," said Stephanie Brennan, strategic operations manager for CHOP's child life programs.
