Kristina Cooper, vice president at Travelmation in Florida, is sharing her smart tips and tricks to avoid frustrating flight delays and cancellations when traveling this holiday season. As Americans brace for holiday travel, flyers might be thinking about whether the uptick in drone sightings will affect take-off and landing. Drone sightings across the northeast skies have been reported with some spotted near or over airport spaces. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) expects nearly 40 million people to fly over the holidays, according to the agency's website. Sightings have been reported near airports in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York, according to several airports in those states that confirmed the sightings to Fox News Digital.

AI experts say the image of Kamala Harris' rally does show hallmarks of being heavily edited -- though this was probably done using basic filters rather than AI. Donald Trump caused a furor over the weekend after claiming the picture had been'A.I.'d' to boost the size of Harris' crowd in Michigan and exaggerate her popularity. The former president and some of his online supports pointed to the unusual lack of crowd reflection on the plane's turbine as evidence the image had been doctored. They concluded there was only a four percent chance it has been warped using the software. But it's possible the photo had been heavily filtered and edited, they said. And the plane's curved reflective surface also creates an illusion where objects above and below the surface are most visible and dominate the reflection, they added.

The rapid advance of artificial intelligence technology has raised concerns about eliminating jobs held by humans. Professional photography is now coming into focus as one such potential casualty. "The rapid advancements in AI and image processing are transforming photography from a skill-based art to one that is increasingly technology-driven. This evolution is making high-quality photography accessible to a broader audience, challenging the traditional notion of professional photography as a skill," according to a report published Tuesday by Medium. "As we move further into this AI-driven era, it becomes evident that the role and relevance of professional photography skills, as we have known them, are becoming obsolete."

Evans' mention of Beatles legend John Lennon ended up becoming somewhat of a reality, but not in the hands of just any creator, but fellow Beatle Paul McCartney. Earlier this year, McCartney told BBC Radio 4's Today show that there was a new final song from the band in the works, with the assistance of AI. "When we came to make what will be the last Beatles record it was a demo that John had – that we worked on and we just finished it up – it'll be released this year. We were able to take John's voice and get it pure through this AI so that then we could mix the record as you would normally do," McCartney said. After some backlash from fans, McCartney clarified that Lennon's vocals were original and not generated by computer. "We've seen some confusion and speculation about it," he shared to X. "Can't say too much at this stage but to be clear, nothing has been artificially or synthetically created. It's all real and we all play on it. We cleaned up some existing recordings – a process which has gone on for years," he assured angry fans. The last two surviving Beatles, Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney, have made it clear that there is nothing artificially generated about their late bandmate John Lennon's voice in a new song, set to be released later this year.

Veritone CEO Ryan Steelberg says the Writers Guild needs to make sure its writers are protected as AI becomes more popular. While watching a film, viewers might ponder its legitimacy, questioning if what they're seeing on screen can happen in real life. Artificial intelligence is no different. AI is being heavily developed and utilized now to edit and amplify films, but the depths of its use has also been explored in futuristic, science-fiction movies like "The Matrix" or "I, Robot." With the rise of AI platforms, including ChatGPT, AI appears to be infiltrating every industry.

From Cornwall and Wales to Essex, Blackpool and the Norfolk coast, Britain has experienced a flurry of earthquakes in the past month. The biggest – a 3.8 magnitude tremor that struck Wales on February 24 – sparked panic as locals reported their beds started to move and walls shook. One resident in the small Welsh town of Abertillery not far from the epicentre said the quake was so noticeable'it felt like the roof was falling off'. The Welsh quake was preceded by several more including a 1.5 magnitude quake in Cornwall and a 3.8 magnitude event off the coast of Great Yarmouth. Here's all you need to know about the British tremors – including whether recent tectonic activity suggests a'big one' is soon to hit parts of the country.

A new artificial intelligence system made by the company OpenAI called ChatGPT is raising eyebrows and concern for how the new generation of artificial intelligence is going to affect society. The new AI technology is surprising users by generating responses that seem incredibly intelligent on a myriad of subjects. TPR's Jerry Clayton recently spoke with Dr. Anthony Rios, Assistant Professor of Information Systems & Cyber Security at the University of Texas at San Antonio about how these advancing technologies could change to future. Clayton: Give us a quick overview of what chat GPT actually is. Rios: GPT is basically a language model.

Most companies recognize the potential for data insights to improve customer experience, better direct marketing strategies, create new products and services, and optimize operations, among myriad compelling use cases. "If you need outsiders to tell you your data is valuable, you're living in the wrong century," says Wayne Sadin, an independent advisor and former CIO/CTO/CDO. Data is even more valuable during this pandemic period, when economies are volatile, markets are uncertain, and businesses face unprecedented challenges that underscore the need for intelligent insights to guide strategic decision-making. "The pandemic has already accelerated many organizations' digital transformation programs, and in many cases, data has emerged as an invaluable component of the successes of the modern-day enterprise," notes Sridhar Iyengar, managing director at Zoho. "Those businesses which are not already leaning on data insights risk being left behind." Defining and seeking clarity on how to value data as an asset.

Chris Welty from Alphabet, Kumar Chellapilla from Amazon, Besmira Nushi from Microsoft, Markus Krause from Brainworks, Olga Megorskaya from Toloka, and Lora Aroyo from Google Research shared their views. Chris explains that human computation usually takes two forms -- explicit and implicit. Implicit refers to situations when data labeling is a by-product, for example when we stream movies, listen to music on YouTube, or do web searches. The system's algorithm learns about its users even though no data labeling as such takes place. On the other hand, more "traditional" forms of data labeling like crowdsourcing are explicit.
