Aug 02, 2024 15:00:00Finally, reality catches up with science fiction movies: Argentina launches project to 'predict future crimes' using AI and dronesThe 2002 science fiction movie 'Minority Report ' depicted a near future in which a crime prediction system was introduced, leading to the arrest of people who have not yet committed any crimes. Similarly, Argentine authorities have announced plans to create a specialized team that will use AI to predict crimes in advance. 'President Millet intends to use machine learning algorithms to predict future crimes, as imagined by science fiction author Philip K. Dick and later depicted in the film Minority Report,' Spanish news outlet EL PAÍS reported. 'Mass surveillance undermines freedom of expression as people fear that security forces are monitoring everything they post, comment or publish online, leading them to self-censor and refrain from expressing their opinions or criticisms,' said Mariela Belschi, Executive Director of Amnesty International Argentina. In addition, Milley, who took office as president in December 2023, is known for his tough stance against crime and is sometimes called the 'Argentine Trump' for his radical policies, such as abolishing gun control and abolishing the Argentine Central Bank.

The 2024 Olympic track and field is about to begin, with runners like the USA’s Noah Lyles, Jamaica’s Kishane Thompson and Botswana’s Letsile Tebogo set to go head-to-head in the men’s 100m event. In the women’s race, the American Sha’Carri Richardson will face off against Julien Alfred from Saint Lucia. The world record for the women’s 100m is still held by Florence Griffith Joyner, who ran with a time of 10.49 seconds in 1988. The men’s record is held by Usain Bolt, with his 2009 time of 9.58 seconds. So what would it look like if some of the fastest runners in the 100m race’s history ran against each other, and how do Australia’s speediest athletes compare?

A BABY who was "always smiling" died after doctors missed signs of a heart condition despite his parents taking him to A&E more than 10 times.

Sarah Hayes, Chief Nursing and Midwifery Officer at East Kent Hospital said: “Our hearts go out to Archie’s family and we are so sorry for their devastating loss. Archie's parents described him as a "happy little lad who was always smiling". The pre-inquest review hearing into his death will be held today at North East Kent Coroner's Court.

J.K. Rowling, who apparently can’t go a day without reminding us she’s a bigot, has decided to weigh in on her clear expertise: Olympic boxing. For context: Italian boxer Angela Carini threw in the towel just 46 seconds into her match against Algeria’s Imane Khelif, claiming she’d “never felt a punch like this.” Enter J.K. Rowling, who misgendered Imane Khelif and claimed that she was part of the new men’s rights movement. It would be one thing if Rowling were expressing her typical transphobia toward a trans woman. But Khelif isn’t transgender. And, by the way, this is not a transgender issue.

A particularly egregious moment came in his false claims about the parallel investigations into his and President Biden’s retention of classified information. That’s likely one reason why Jack Smith’s team included a bunch of highly classified documents among those charged. For both men, prosecutors would need to show that they realized they had classified documents, and then retained them. Because it was handwritten, it had no classification marks and couldn’t be proven to have obviously classified information, much less information still classified in 2023, when it was found. How Trump’s Case Got DismissedTrump falsely claimed he “won” his classified documents case.

A new term is spreading inexorably in global health. Accelerator has become the buzzword in global politics, including global health. It is not difficult to see the reasons behind the growing sense of urgency in global health and other areas of international cooperation. Global health experienced directly the enormous potential of Twitter and the like to create and fuel a veritable infodemic during the COVID-19 pandemic [17]. Rather than an epistemic problem, public and global health faces an implementation problem.

Narendran told Reuters in an interview on Thursday.Tata, Britain's biggest steel producer , last month began the process of closing down one of its carbon-intensive blast furnaces, with the shutdown of its other furnace slated for September.The two furnaces shutting down will likely result in the loss of up to 2,800 jobs at Port Talbot in South Wales.Britain's business minister Jonathan Reynolds said in July that the new government was prioritising avoiding job losses in talks with Tata Steel over government backing for a transition to lower-carbon technologies. "The compulsory redundancies, which is the point where the unions, the government and us need to see - how do we address that," Narendran said, adding they would also look at re-skilling.The company is also evaluating the need to seek more funding from the government to build more steelmaking facilities, Narendran added.The new government in Britain will need to sign the 500-million-pound ($635 million) support package that the previous government agreed on with Tata Steel to help build a lower-carbon electric arc furnace

Scotland Yard has opened a preliminary inquiry into the deletion of tens of millions of emails during the British phone-hacking scandal that rocked Rupert Murdoch’s news media empire more than a dozen years ago. The development could entangle current and former News Corp executives, including the chief executive of The Washington Post, in an inquiry into whether the deletions were aimed at obstructing justice. The inquiry threatens to reopen a tumultuous chapter in British news media and political history. The scandal toppled Mr. Murdoch’s best-selling tabloid newspaper, News of the World, and led to criminal charges and years of civil lawsuits. Many hacking victims have argued for years that Mr. Murdoch’s British company, News UK, improperly purged emails to limit the fallout.

Merino boostArsenal's pursuit of Mikel Merino could be aided by Real Sociedad's acceptance of the fact they may have to sell the midfielder. Sociedad president Jokin Aperribay told Mundo Deportivo: "I don’t know. We are aware that Merino has offers, and we know them. "The conversation with him and those around him has been very sincere and hopefully his decision is to stay. "You don’t have to hide behind a contract when a player tells you that he wants to take advantage of an opportunity.

More and more of us "average" human beings are paying the price for not taking steps to make our social media sites more secure, and it is costing innocent Americans their jobs in some cases. For those who aren't aware of what deepfakes are, in most cases, it's the practice of digitally manipulating and spreading a person's social media images in a way that causes humiliation or results in defaming an individual. There have been cases of people's personal bank accounts and other forms of information getting exposed on the web from deepfakes. Kids in school have also had their social media accounts hacked in this manner. Techtarget.com has listed ways people can protect themselves from falling victim to deepfakes and similar attacks against people's personal information and images.

Keir Starmer held a press conference following riots in parts of England and called those behind them a 'tiny, mindless minority in our society'.

The Bank of England decided, by a slim margin among its policymakers, to cut interest rates on Thursday for the first time in more than four years amid slower inflation. Britain’s central bank lowered rates a quarter of a percentage point to 5 percent, the first rate cut since March 2020, when the coronavirus pandemic shut down large parts of the economy. The rate cut brings an end to the most aggressive efforts of the central bank to stamp out high inflation, which reached double digits less than two years ago. For the past year, interest rates were held at 5.25 percent, the highest level since 2008. But policymakers warned that it was a “finely balanced decision” and that going forward interest rates would be lowered slowly, which would keep their policy stance restrictive for a while.
