The actor, well known for his roles in the Die Hard franchise, was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia - a condition his family publicly disclosed in 2023. Emma Heming Willis spoke with CBS Mornings host Gayle King about her husband and her new book, which she hopes will help fellow caregivers. 'We love you, you will always be with us', says father of Minneapolis shooting victim Fletcher Merkel, 8, was one of two children killed in Wednesday's shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis. The Garnet wildfire in Fresno County has scorched nearly 14,000 acres (5,665 hectares) and remains uncontained. The BBC's Tom Bateman spoke with Patrick Scallen who lives near the Annunciation Church and ran towards the sound of gunfire.

Nicolas Cage continues to share his fears about artificial intelligence in Hollywood. At the 25th Newport Beach Film Festival on Sunday, the actor gave a speech ahead of his Icon Award reception during the Honors Brunch where he emphasized the need to control your own image and performance as AI rises in popularity with studios. "There is a new technology in town. It's a technology that I didn't have to contend with for 42 years until recently. But these 10 young actors, this generation, most certainly will be, and they are calling it'EBDR.' This technology wants to take your instrument. We are the instruments as film actors. We are not hiding behind guitars and drums," Cage said, per Deadline.

Members of Congress shared whether Hollywood's striking actors and writers should be concerned about artificial intelligence ultimately taking their jobs. WASHINGTON, D.C. – Lawmakers were torn on whether actors and writers should be concerned about artificial intelligence taking their jobs, with one Republican lawmaker saying the "spoiled" Hollywood professionals should get back to work at their "overpaid" jobs. "Hollywood is a bunch of spoiled brat degenerates, and they ought to get back to work," Tennessee Rep. Tim Burchett, a Republican, said. "They are overpaid and under worked. The rest of this country gets by on a lot less."

Artificial intelligence can now create images, novels and source code from scratch. Except it isn't really from scratch, because a vast amount of human-generated examples are needed to train these AI models – something that has angered artists, programmers and writers and led to a series of lawsuits. Hollywood actors are the latest group of creatives to turn against AI. They fear that film studios could take control of their likeness and have them "star" in films without ever being on set, perhaps taking on roles they would rather avoid and uttering lines or acting out scenes they would find distasteful. Worse still, they might not get paid for it.

And what a great Tuesday it is. So SAG-AFTRA, the union for actors, claims that their profession is about as dead as a critic of Hillary Clinton. It all has to do with AI replacing real, live actors, which seems redundant of course, replacing Hollywood actors with artificial intelligence is like replacing Vin Diesel with Vin Diesel. But remember, they've done worse. They once replaced humans with "Real Housewives."

Roundup Here's this week's collection of AI-related news that we found interesting. Read on to find out more about a new chip coming to Microsoft Azure and how Twitter hopes to deal with deepfakes. Graphcore ML chips coming to Microsoft Azure: Graphcore, a British AI hardware startup, is teaming up with Microsoft to bring its Intelligence Processing Unit chip to cloud users. "The Graphcore IPU is unique in keeping the entire machine learning knowledge model inside the processor," it said this week. "With 16 IPU processors, all connected with IPU-Link technology in a server, an IPU system will have over 100,000 completely independent programs, all working in parallel on the machine intelligence knowledge model."
