Conservative activist Robby Starbuck sued Google, alleging that the tech giant's artificial intelligence systems generated "outrageously false" information about him. On Wednesday, Starbuck said in the lawsuit, filed in Delaware state court, that Google's AI systems falsely called him a "child rapist," "serial sexual abuser" and "shooter" in response to user queries and delivered defamatory statements to millions of users. "Hallucinations are a well-known issue for all LLMs, which we disclose and work hard to minimise," Castaneda said. "But as everyone knows, if you're creative enough, you can prompt a chatbot to say something misleading." Starbuck is best known for opposing diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives.

Election day is here and so too is the anxiety that has parked itself in the middle of the room. Some people are trying their best to meet the moment -- with mixed results -- while others have simply chosen not to let the race for president and control of Congress dominate their lives.

"We're just sort of out walking around and trying to have a pleasant day and not think about it too much," Mark "I think we'll be glued to our TVs tonight to find out how the rest of our lives are gonna go."

A Chinese software engineer has been arrested for allegedly stealing artificial intelligence technology from Google while secretly working for two Chinese companies. Linwei Ding, 38, also known as Leon Ding, faces four counts of theft of trade secrets, the US attorney general, Merrick Garland, said in a statement. Ding, who was arrested on Wednesday in Newark, California, allegedly transferred confidential information from Google's network to his personal account while secretly affiliated with Chinese-based companies in the AI industry. "The justice department will not tolerate the theft of artificial intelligence and other advanced technologies that could put our national security at risk," Garland said. "We will fiercely protect sensitive technologies developed in America from falling into the hands of those who should not have them."
