Melania Trump to speak for the first time on Capitol Hill in roundtable focused on punishing revenge porn
Fox News' Charlie Hurt and Rachel Campos-Duffy discuss inauguration fashion for this week's installment of their pop culture round-up on'Fox & Friends Weekend'. First lady Melania Trump will speak on Capitol Hill Monday for the first time since returning to the White House, participating in a roundtable with lawmakers from both chambers of Congress focused on punishing online abuse and revenge pornography. The roundtable discussion will focus on online protection and the "Take it Down Act," a bill introduced in the Senate by Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., that would make it a federal crime to publish, or threaten to publish, nonconsensual intimate imagery, including "digital forgeries" crafted by artificial intelligence. The bill also would require social media companies and similar websites to put procedures in place to remove such content within 48 hours of notice from the victim.

New tech fails to help adoptive parents navigate obstacles: probe
Marva Bailer tells Fox News Digital how the open availability of artificial intelligence can have negative effects, and she talks about potential federal legislation to control it. An investigation into an artificial intelligence tool aimed at helping match children in foster care to prospective adoptive parents found that the technology offered limited help with the process. An AI tool called "Family-Match" that was embraced by several states to streamline the process of finding permanent adoptive homes for children in foster care has come up short, an Associated Press investigation found. According to a report on the investigation by Voice of America, social workers in Florida, Georgia and Virginia implemented the tool but ultimately found that it "often led them to unwilling families." US MILITARY NEEDS AI VEHICLES, WEAPON SYSTEMS TO BE'SUPERIOR' GLOBAL FORCE: EXPERTS Artificial intelligence could still help to streamline the adoption process, experts say. Virginia and Georgia stopped using the tool after a trial run, the report said, noting that it only produced one or two adoptions per year.

Investigation underway after AI tool may have misinterpreted a child's disability as parental neglect

For the two weeks that the Hackneys' baby girl lay in a Pittsburgh hospital bed weak from dehydration, her parents rarely left her side, sometimes sleeping on the fold-out sofa in the room. They stayed with their daughter around the clock when she was moved to a rehab center to regain her strength. Finally, the 8-month-old stopped batting away her bottles and started putting on weight again. "She was doing well and we started to ask when can she go home," Lauren Hackney said.

UB receives $800,000 NSF/Amazon grant to improve AI fairness in foster care - University at Buffalo
The National Science Foundation and Amazon, the grant's joint funders, have partnered on a program called Fairness in Artificial Intelligence (FAI) that aims to address bias and build trustworthy computational systems that can contribute to solving the biggest challenges facing modern societies. Over the course of three years, the UB researchers will collaborate with the Hillside Family of Agencies (Rochester, N.Y.), one of the oldest family and youth nonprofit human services organizations in the country, and a youth advisory council made up of individuals who have recently aged out of foster care, to develop the tool. They will also consult with national experts across specializations to inform this complex work. Researchers will use data from the Administration on Children and Families' (ACF) federally mandated National Youth in Transition Database (NYTD) and input from collaborators to inform their predictive model. Each state participates in NYTD to report the experiences and services used by youth in foster care.

How much is a human worth?
This will be the first invitational post for Hyperjumping. My friend Nuno Reis is a computer scientist with a thing for cinema and science fiction who is now exploring marketing to manipulate the minds of others (yes, he turned evil). He usually writes about the fantastic in SciFiWorld.pt, and about Technology in blog.nunoreis.pt. We hear all the time that a human life is priceless, but no one speaks about the value of humanity. Everyone is talking about the robots and Artificial Intelligences that will take our jobs, but no one is considering the jobs that will remain human forever.
