Kara Frederick, tech director at the Heritage Foundation, discusses the need for regulations on artificial intelligence as lawmakers and tech titans discuss the potential risks. Artificial intelligence (AI) is a powerful technology that can bring many benefits to society but also poses many challenges and risks. To ensure that the United States leads the way in seizing the opportunity and managing the risks of AI, President Biden issued a landmark executive order on October 30, 2023. The Biden administration is using the Defense Production Act, a 75-year-old law that gives the White House wide authority to regulate industries related to national security, to compel companies to tell the federal government about potential national security risks related to their AI work. This is the first executive order from the federal government that directly regulates AI, and it follows the voluntary commitments of 15 major AI companies, such as Google, Microsoft and OpenAI.

The Mia Hand is a smart device that can sense the environment and adjust its grip accordingly. It can perform five different types of grasps, such as pinch, power, precision, lateral and extension. Imagine losing your hand in an accident and having to live with a prosthetic limb that is clumsy, uncomfortable and limited in functionality. That is the reality for millions of people around the world who suffer from amputation or congenital limb deficiency. But what if there was a way to restore the natural sensation and movement of your hand using a bionic device that is connected to your nervous system and adapts to your needs?

AI expert Marva Bailer explains how, even though there are currently laws in place, the average person has more access than ever to create deepfakes of celebrities. Artificial intelligence (AI) is advancing rapidly, bringing unprecedented benefits to us, yet it also poses serious risks, such as chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) threats, that could have catastrophic consequences for the world. How can we ensure that AI is used for good and not evil? How can we prepare for the worst-case scenarios that might arise from AI? CLICK TO GET KURT'S FREE CYBERGUY NEWSLETTER WITH SECURITY ALERTS, QUICK VIDEO TIPS, TECH REVIEWS, AND EASY HOW-TO'S TO MAKE YOU SMARTER These are some of the questions that OpenAI, a leading AI research lab and the company behind ChatGPT, is trying to answer with its new Preparedness team.

CyberGuy explains a new factory in Oregon that can produce 10,000 robots a year. Maine, a state often admired for its serenity and scenic beauty, recently witnessed an unimaginable nightmare. Robert Card, an assault rifle-carrying gun instructor with documented mental troubles, gunned down 18 innocent people. The 40-year-old suspect was found dead two days later after an intense search by law enforcement. As families and communities mourn the loss, an important question is raised: Could alerting the police mere minutes earlier than the first 911 call have changed the outcome?

Air taxis are electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft that can carry up to two passengers or 600 pounds of cargo. They are powered by 16 electric rotors and can fly at speeds of up to 80 mph and distances of up to 18 miles. Imagine flying over the city in a pilotless, electric-powered aircraft that can take you from point A to point B in minutes without a pilot onboard. Sounds like science fiction, right? China-based Ehang has become the world's first company to receive airworthiness certification for its fully autonomous, passenger-carrying air taxis.
