Apparent AI mistakes force two judges to retract separate rulings

FOX News

Fox News host Greg Gutfeld and the'Gutfeld!' panel discuss a man trying to use an A.I. lawyer in court. Two U.S. judges in separate federal courts scrapped their rulings last week after lawyers alerted them to filings that contained inaccurate case details or seemingly "hallucinated" quotes that misquoted cited cases -- the latest in a string of errors that suggest the growing use of artificial intelligence in legal research and submissions. In New Jersey, U.S. District Judge Julien Neals withdrew his denial of a motion to dismiss a securities fraud case after lawyers revealed the decision relied on filings with "pervasive and material inaccuracies." The filing pointed to "numerous instances" of made-up quotes submitted by attorneys, as well as three separate instances when the outcome of lawsuits appeared to have been mistaken, prompting Neals to withdraw his decision. The use of generative AI continues to skyrocket in almost every profession, especially among younger workers.


EXCLUSIVE: What does AI think of YOUR state? DailyMail.com asked tech to come up with a phrase and photo for the average person across the US

Daily Mail - Science & tech

Americans have plenty of negative opinions about artificial intelligence - but has anyone ever stopped to think: 'What do the machines think about Americans?' Polls show that a majority worry advanced AI will become a'threat to the human race' (57 percent), half consider self-driving cars dangerous, and more than half (54 per cent) believe AI will play a role in America's decline over the coming decades. The feeling might be mutual -- judging by the responses that ChatGPT and the image-generator Midjourney gave DailyMail.com ChatGPT stated that people in Alabama are'hillbillies', Idahoans are'gun-toting survivalists', Wisconsinites are'heavy drinkers' and the citizens of Iowa are just plain'boring'. The AI could not think of anything bad to say about'friendly' Nebraskans, however. While not all 50 US states were as easy for Midjourney to caricature as they were for ChatGPT, the image-maker did manage to roast the citizens of states with notorious or outsized reputations, like California and New Jersey.

Rapid and accurate building damage assessments from high-resolution satellite imagery following a natural disaster is essential to inform and optimize first responder efforts. However, performing such building damage assessments in an automated manner is non-trivial due to the challenges posed by variations in disaster-specific damage, diversity in satellite imagery, and the dearth of extensive, labeled datasets. To circumvent these issues, this paper introduces a human-in-the-loop workflow for rapidly training building damage assessment models after a natural disaster. This article details a case study using this workflow, executed in partnership with the American Red Cross during a tornado event in Rolling Fork, Mississippi in March, 2023. The output from our human-in-the-loop modeling process achieved a precision of 0.86 and recall of 0.80 for damaged buildings when compared to ground truth data collected post-disaster. This workflow was implemented end-to-end in under 2 hours per satellite imagery scene, highlighting its potential for real-time deployment.


Former MS state senator's plane had autopilot issues in leadup to near-vertical fatal crash

FOX News

Fox News Flash top headlines are here. Check out what's clicking on Foxnews.com. A small plane had mechanical problems with its autopilot system before it crashed in Arkansas last month and killed a former Mississippi state senator who was flying it, according to a preliminary report by the National Transportation Safety Board. Johnny Morgan, 76, of Oxford, Mississippi, served in the Mississippi Senate from 1984 to 1992. He was the only person aboard the twin-engine Beech King Air E-90 plane when it crashed May 17 in a wooded area in northwestern Arkansas, south of Fayetteville.


Can artificial intelligence predict the weather months out? This company says it can

FOX News

FOX Business correspondent Lydia Hu has the latest on jobs at risk as AI further develops on "America's Newsroom." Artificial intelligence is being used and introduced across all sectors, aiding the research of oncologists and NASA scientists. Algorithms and machine-learning models, like the newly popular ChatGPT and Google's Bard, have helped students and professionals – although the technology comes with a warning as governments around the world rush to devise regulations and standards. The potential of the industry and AI may appear to be boundless at this phase, with new research and tools publicly announced every week. Just days after the Biden administration called for public input on proposed artificial intelligence policies, tropical cyclones are already a topic of discussion.


Stunning aerial videos show Mississippi towns flattened by powerful tornadoes

FOX News

Drone video taken Saturday morning shows Rolling Fork, Mississippi, which was heavily damaged when tornadoes and severe storms ripped through the area Friday. Video footage taken Saturday morning showed widespread destruction after tornadoes ripped through Mississippi. A severe weather outbreak across several southern states Friday evening and Saturday morning left at least 23 people dead in Mississippi. Footage captured by camera drones show residential and commercial structures wiped out by the lethal storms in Rolling Fork and Armory, Mississippi. That state's governor, Republican Tate Reeves, issued a state of emergency in all counties affected by the storm Saturday.


In Mississippi, Back to School and the Delta Variant Are a "Recipe for Disaster"

Slate

Right about now, a whole lot of parents are looking around and asking themselves: What is school going to look like this year? Here in New York, this is the time of year when I get letters telling me who my kids' teachers are going to be and how to track down school supplies. In other parts of the country, kids are already back in classrooms. And after more than a year of disrupted and hybrid learning, everyone has had this hope that this year will be different. You just have to press play on a couple of videos from school board meetings across the country to realize how elusive "normal" still is. A lot of the meetings I've been watching recently are about masks--who should be wearing them and who shouldn't.


DARPA tests drone swarms that send groups of up to 250 autonomous vehicles into combat areas

Daily Mail - Science & tech

This week, DARPA shared footage of an experimental new program that uses large drones swarms to locate targets and gather situational intelligence in urban raid missions. Part of DARPA's Offensive Swarm-Enabled Tactics (OFFSET) program, the test featured a coordinated group of 250 autonomous air and ground vehicles. Those vehicles were sent into to a simulated urban environment, providing live information about sight lines, enemy positioning, environmental hazards, and general layout as part of a simulated military raid. The test was conducted at DARPA's Camp Shelby Joint Forces Training Center, a facility in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. The missions tasked the drone swarm with finding several AprilTags, a kind of QR code, that had been placed inside buildings in the training compound, which was designed to approximate a city block.


Tulane student killed by flying tires at highway rest stop in Mississippi: police
