President Biden visits Bay Area, uses social media as cautionary tale to guide AI laws

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:55:00 GMT

President Joe Biden, in a visit Tuesday to the epicenter of the technology industry, pointed to the dangers of unrestrained social media as he called for federal laws to protect Americans from fast-accelerating new artificial intelligence.“Social media is already showing us the harm … powerful technology can do without the right safeguards in place,” Biden said in San Francisco before meeting with AI experts and researchers. “That’s why I said at the state of the union that Congress needs to pass bipartisan privacy legislation to impose strict limits on personal data collection, ban targeted advertising to our children, and require companies to put health and safety first.”Significant downsides to social media have emerged in recent years, as researchers and news media documented shadowy sales of personal data, online-addiction maladies including eating disorders among children, the spread of divisive and politicized misinformation, and foreign interference in U.S....

By Seung Min Kim | Associated PressWASHINGTON — Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden whose plea deal on federal tax and gun charges was made public Tuesday, is by no means the first presidential relative whose personal troubles have brought unwelcome headlines and headaches for a White House.The younger Biden will plead guilty to misdemeanor tax offenses in an agreement that also allows him to avoid full prosecution on a felony charge of illegally possessing a firearm as a drug user, as long as he abides by certain conditions. The deal closes a long-running Justice Department probe into Hunter Biden, long known to struggle with substance abuse.Children of U.S. presidents, like Hunter Biden, have long been subjects of fascination and curiosity, with their every move under public scrutiny.Former President Donald Trump’s son Donald Jr., for one, was in the news for meeting with Russian operatives offering damaging information on Hillary Clinton during the 2016 presidential camp...

Sign up for InsideNoVa.com’s free email subscription today.A faction of School Board members are voicing concerns over proposed changes to the Prince William County Public Schools code of behavior, saying it could pile more training and restrictions on school staff in how to discipline bad behavior.The School Board is expected to vote Wednesday night on a suite of changes and additions to the division’s code of behavior for the 2023-2024 school year. Among the most controversial additions is new language calling for school staff to use “restorative practices” as “a preventative and restorative approach to unwanted behavior” and an “alternative to suspension.”While the draft of the code of behavior update doesn’t feature any significant changes to the section on categories of behavior and possible responses, it does call for teachers to use a “graduated system which incorporates instructio...

Counter-terrorism experts say Africa is the world’s terrorism hot spot with half of 2022’s victims

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:55:00 GMT

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Counter-terrorism experts said Tuesday that Africa is now the world’s terrorism hot spot, with half of the victims killed last year in sub-Saharan Africa, though al-Qaida and Islamic State affiliates remain widespread, persistent and active elsewhere around the globe. Interpol, the international criminal police agency, also reported during a panel discussion at the U.N. that terrorism linked to extreme right-wing ideology increased an estimated 50-fold over the past decade, particularly in Europe, North America and parts of the Asia-Pacific.The experts see other trends: Deteriorating global security is making the terrorism threat “more complex and decentralized.” Extremists are increasingly using sophisticated technology, and drones and artificial intelligence have opened new ways to plan and carry out attacks.The United Nations this week is hosting its third high-level conference of heads of counter-terrorism agencies.

Mystery solved? Wembanyama listed at 7-foot-4, but check back later in September

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:55:00 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — The tall task of determining Victor Wembanyama’s height isn’t finished yet.The expected No. 1 pick in the NBA draft might be 7-foot-4. Maybe not, though. While the league is listing him at that height in the draft guide on its media website, it’s not official.Check back in September.That’s the deadline for the San Antonio Spurs — assuming they take Wembanyama with the first pick as expected Thursday night — to submit an official height for him without shoes to the league.Wembanyama’s height listed in the draft guide falls in the middle of conflicting reports about how tall the Frenchman is. It’s not official, however, because Wembanyama didn’t attend the NBA Draft Combine in May, where prospects are measured.Wembanyama, who arrived in New York on Monday and was scheduled to throw out the first pitch before a Yankees game on Tuesday, said he was 7-3 in October during his French pro team’s exhibition games in Las Vegas.

Plan to discharge water into Hudson River from closed nuclear plant sparks uproar

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:55:00 GMT

Sitting along the Hudson River near New York City, the Indian Point nuclear plant repeatedly attracted controversy during the decades it generated electricity.Two years after its shutdown, it still is.The latest flashpoint revolves around plans to release 1.3 million gallons of water with traces of radioactive tritium into the river as part of the plant’s decommissioning. Supporters of the planned releases say they are just like those made when Indian Point was producing power and that the concentration of tritium has been far below federal standards. But opponents along the river question the health and safety claims. They say the releases of radioactive water could be a step back for a once notoriously polluted river that is now a popular summer attraction for sailors, kayakers and swimmers.Communities along the river have already passed resolutions opposing the discharges, and an online petition has gathered more than 440,000 signatures. Now a bill being considered in state...
