Two representatives re-introduced a'click-to-cancel' bill to end sneaky fee traps. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Two elected officials hope their new bipartisan bill will help finally put an end to the mountains of unwanted subscription renewal fees plaguing everyday consumers. "Subscription traps have become an accepted inconvenience for American consumers. Too many companies rely on deceptive business models that force people to jump through hoops just to cancel," Representative Amodei said in a joint statement .

AI developments from generating videos, voices, pictures and human-like conversations are growing rapidly, lawmakers say they are trying to keep up. WASHINGTON, D.C. – As the ramifications of AI's growing ability become increasingly apparent, lawmakers on Capitol Hill graded their understanding of the new technology from one to 10. "I put my knowledge on a scale of one to 10 at about a 1.5," Republican Sen. Cynthia Lummis said, giving herself the lowest rating among the politicians who spoke with Fox News. Another Republican, Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina, had the most confident response. "I'd say it's eight or nine," she said. Elon Musk and more than 1,000 others in March called for an immediate pause on "giant AI experiments," warning the rapidly developing sector may pose security threats.

AI developments from generating videos, voices, pictures and human-like conversations are growing rapidly, lawmakers say they are trying to keep up. WASHINGTON, D.C. – AI has the potential to both benefit and harm the U.S. in unknown and unimagined ways but Congress has hardly any experts on the rapidly developing technology, lawmakers told Fox News. "AI is going to help us in many ways. It can also kill us," Rep. Ted Lieu, a California Democrat said. "As a recovering computer science major, my understanding of AI on a scale of one to 10 is about a five. There's a lot I don't know."

LONDON – They come from very different worlds, yet have remarkably similar tales to tell. One hails from Takasaki, Gunma Prefecture, while the other was brought up in the shadows of the Merendon mountains in the Sula Valley of northwestern Honduras. Bonding over a "love of good coffee and jazz," Yasutomo Takano and Cristian Mejia have come a long way since they first met four years ago while studying bibliometrics at the Tokyo Institute of Technology. Back then they were both enthusiastic students with a love for robotics and the "internet of things." Now, they are using their combined skills to solve challenges in academia.

A quartet of tech experts arrived at a little-noticed hearing at the U.S. Capitol in May with a message: Quantum computing is a bleeding-edge technology with the potential to speed up drug research, financial transactions and more. To Rep. Adam Kinzinger, though, their highly technical testimony might as well have been delivered in a foreign language. "I can understand about 50 percent of the things you say," the Illinois Republican confessed. Kinzinger's quip drew chuckles from his peers on the House Energy and Commerce Committee, but it also illustrated an unavoidable challenge on Capitol Hill. Increasingly, members of Congress are confronting a wide array of complex policy debates posed by inventions like artificial intelligence and problems like the rise of Russian propaganda online.

From robotics to deep learning and image recognition, a glimpse of science fiction-like technologies developed by the nation's artificial intelligence industry is on display at Tokyo Big Sight in Koto Ward. At the three-day AI World exhibition, a total of 15 companies exhibited cutting-edge AI technology in an attempt to realize a society which will make entertainment and business more interactive and efficient. Equipped with the company's original AI engine Kibit, the robot recommends new books based on what people have read in the past and other personal preferences. Unlike the recommendation system that is widely used by online shopping sites today, Ubic's AI technology analyzes book reviews and makes recommendations based on feedback from actual people instead of a computer, said Ubic's spokeswoman, Akane Hirose. Kibiro also has a function to guess a person's age and gender by using an in-built facial recognition camera.
