DroneUp CEO Tom Walker speaks with Fox News Digital about his Congressional testimony calling for a nationalized database of drone pilots and flights amid changing technology, while warning the country's airspace regulations are unprepared. As drone technology rapidly advances, industry experts are warning Congress about potential airspace lapses creating the next national security threat if left unregulated. In a U.S. House Homeland Security Subcommittee hearing held last week, drone industry experts testified about the looming threats to airspace safety posed by unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). "More than half of all near misses with commercial and general aviation are with drones," Tom Walker, CEO of DroneUp, told Fox News Digital. Drone experts are asking Congress for a centralized database to track flights and pilots in an attempt to fill gaps in airspace regulations.

The proposed legislation means that companies will no longer be free in the safety assessment of their AI products and will have to observe strict …

Much ink has been spilled on the artificial intelligence (AI) race between the United States and China, leading to a whole lot of hand-wringing on how America can maintain its edge. America ought to double down on what it's best at: importing foreign talent. That's because among the main building blocks of a competitive AI ecosystem--data, policy, companies, and hardware--talent is the one area in which the United States definitively leads over China. Let's take a closer look at where America stands in terms of AI talent globally and the foundation of its current advantage. One metric to gauge AI talent is the attendees of the Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems, commonly referred to as NIPS within the industry.

Most manufacturers have connected their operational technology – including industrial control systems and robotic equipment –to the internet, yet the lack of basic security protocols leave these companies open to cyberattacks. Dewan Chowdhury, founder of MalCrawler, said that many robotics that work as part of industrial systems on manufacturing floors are still leveraging outdated and unsupported operating systems – such as Windows XP. Chowdhury presented his research at a SAS session titled "Hack Your Robot". "Even before the robotics, the issue is that the programs that control the robotics are completely wide open to vulnerabilities," said Chowdhury. For manufacturing companies, cybersecurity threats are beginning to make headlines.

Sunday night's season 1 finale of Westworld was the perfect finish to a near-perfect season of television. While many fan theories came true tonight, there were some big twists that not everyone saw coming. Better still, the finale leaves plenty of loose ends flapping in the breeze, leaving the door wide open for a second season. Perhaps the biggest twist of the night was Dr. Ford's role in...well, everything. It turns out it wasn't Arnold's voice in the hosts' heads, nor was it Arnold manipulating the hosts to awaken and rebel.
