OpenAI's Child Exploitation Reports Increased Sharply This Year The company made 80 times as many reports to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children during the first six months of 2025 as it did in the same period a year prior. OpenAI sent 80 times as many child exploitation incident reports to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children during the first half of 2025 as it did during a similar time period in 2024, according to a recent update from the company. The NCMEC's CyberTipline is a Congressionally authorized clearinghouse for reporting child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and other forms of child exploitation. Companies are required by law to report apparent child exploitation to the CyberTipline. When a company sends a report, NCMEC reviews it and then forwards it to the appropriate law enforcement agency for investigation.

The Trump administration is moving to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research, a leading climate and weather research institution in Boulder, Colo. NCAR's weather forecasts, climate models and atmospheric data are vital to research, emergency planning and industries from aviation to insurance.

Another round of terminations, combined with previous layoffs and departures, has reduced the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention workforce by about 3,000 people since January. After the latest round of mass firings at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention over the weekend, the union that represents agency employees estimates that around 3,000 people this year--about a quarter of the agency's workforce--have departed the agency. That number includes workers affected by layoffs earlier this year, as well those who have accepted the Trump administration's "Fork in the Road" buyout program. The most recent cuts came down amidst the ongoing government shutdown. On October 10, more than 1,300 CDC employees received termination notices.

Though artificial intelligence is fueling a surge in synthetic child abuse images, it's also being tested as a way to stop harm to real victims. Generative AI has enabled the production of child sexual abuse images to skyrocket. Now the leading investigator of child exploitation in the US is experimenting with using AI to distinguish AI-generated images from material depicting real victims, according to a new government filing. The Department of Homeland Security's Cyber Crimes Center, which investigates child exploitation across international borders, has awarded a $150,000 contract to San Francisco-based Hive AI for its software, which can identify whether a piece of content was AI-generated. The filing, posted on September 19, is heavily redacted and Hive cofounder and CEO Kevin Guo told that he could not discuss the details of the contract, but confirmed it involves use of the company's AI detection algorithms for child sexual abuse material (CSAM). The filing quotes data from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children that reported a 1,325% increase in incidents involving generative AI in 2024.

Abstract--This article focuses on training work carried out in artificial intelligence (AI) at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign via a research experience for undergraduates (REU) program named FoDOMMaT. It also describes why we are interested in AI, and concludes by discussing what we've learned from running this program and its predecessor over six years. The National Research is an important part of the university's Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) at the work: "At Illinois, our focus on research shapes our University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign is such an identity, permeates our classrooms and fuels our outreach. As a public, land-grant university, security, etc.) have been brought together for over we have the responsibility to create new knowledge 35 years to work on asking and solving some of the and new ideas and translate these into better ways of world's most challenging research questions.

Yaron Litwin, executive of AI-powered company Canopy, explains how "AI can be used for good" in an ongoing chess match with criminals using deepfakes in sextortion scams. If you or someone you know is having thoughts of suicide, please contact the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988 or 1-800-273-TALK (8255). A company's reliance on artificial intelligence to prevent sextortion scams sets up an AI vs. AI clash between criminals and "good guys." Sextortion cases increased 322% between February 2022 and February 2023, according to the FBI, which recently said there's been an additional significant uptick since April. Innocent beach pictures or men's bare-chested gym pictures can be twisted into sexually explicit, AI-generated "deepfakes" that are weaponized against panicked and embarrassed teens and preteens.

Brian Montgomery, who lost his son to suicide after he was extorted, discussed the loss of his son and how teen boys have been blackmailed over explicit pictures on'America's Newsroom.' If you or someone you know is having thoughts of suicide, please contact the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988 or 1-800-273-TALK (8255). Artifical intelligence-generated "deepfakes" are fueling sextortion scams like dried up brush in an out-of-control wildfire. The number of nationally reported sextortion cases increased 322% between February 2022 and February 2023, according to the FBI, which said last week there's been a significant uptick since April because of AI-doctored images. Innocent pictures or videos uploaded to social media or sent in messages can be twisted into sexually explicit, AI-generated images that are "true-to-life" and nearly impossible to discern, the FBI said.

Fox News correspondent Grady Trimble has the latest on fears the technology will spiral out of control on'Special Report.' Artificial intelligence query platforms offer in many cases a hallucinatory hard-left version of politics and history. The same biases and outright lies that reshaped academia over the last 50 years and infected the American body politic with division are endemic throughout versions of historical events perpetuated by OpenAI's generative platform ChatGPT, according to a number of searches done by Fox News Digital. "Artificial Intelligence will simply reflect and magnify the mindset and ideology of its creators -- and impress those values upon the rest of us," Victor Davis Hanson, senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, told Fox News Digital. "In other words, we are creating Silicon Valley-minded Frankensteins and unleashing them on the nation," he said.

RIYADH:- The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia proudly announces its AI Ethics Principles for public consultation. They were designed by the Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority (SDAIA) to be a practical guide to incorporating AI ethics throughout the AI system development life cycle. AI Ethics principles recognize the importance of developing artificial intelligence and technology innovation into the Kingdom's services for its citizens and visitors. After analyzing global and domestic standards and guidelines for AI use, SDAIA has developed an operational framework that entities can use to promote AI while limiting the technology's irresponsible use. AI ethics will provide a common ground or standards to help the Kingdom avoid or reduce technology limitations.

Posted on June 7th, 2022 by Lawrence Tabak, D.D.S., Ph.D. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to present considerable public health challenges in the United States and around the globe. One of the most puzzling is why many people who get over an initial and often relatively mild COVID illness later develop new and potentially debilitating symptoms. These symptoms run the gamut including fatigue, shortness of breath, brain fog, anxiety, and gastrointestinal trouble. People understandably want answers to help them manage this complex condition referred to as Long COVID syndrome. But because Long COVID is so variable from person to person, it's extremely difficult to work backwards and determine what these people had in common that might have made them susceptible to Long COVID.
