The High Court of England and Wales says lawyers need to take stronger steps to prevent the misuse of artificial intelligence in their work. In a ruling tying together two recent cases, Judge Victoria Sharp wrote that generative AI tools like ChatGPT “are not capable of conducting reliable legal research.” “Such tools can produce apparently coherent and plausible responses to prompts, but those coherent and plausible responses may turn out to be entirely incorrect,” Judge Sharp wrote. “The responses may make confident assertions that are simply untrue.” That doesn’t mean lawyers cannot use AI in their research, but she said…

Progress is rarely linear, and AI is no exception.As academics, independent developers, and the biggest tech companies in the world drive us closer to artificial general intelligence — a still hypothetical form of intelligence that matches human capabilities — they’ve hit some roadblocks. Many emerging models are prone to hallucinating, misinformation, and simple errors.Google CEO Sundar Pichai referred to this phase of AI as AJI, or “artificial jagged intelligence,” on a recent episode of Lex Fridman’s podcast. “I don’t know who used it first, maybe Karpathy did,” Pichai said, referring to deep learning and computer vision specialist Andrej Karpathy, who…

President Donald Trump signed an executive order Friday that revises and rolls back cybersecurity policies set in place by his Democratic predecessors, Barack Obama and Joe Biden. In a White House fact sheet, the administration claims that Biden’s Executive Order 14144 — signed days before the end of his presidency — was an attempt “to sneak problematic and distracting issues into cybersecurity policy.” Among other things, Biden’s order encouraged agencies to “consider accepting digital identity documents” when public benefit programs require ID. Trump struck that part of the order, with the White House now saying this approach risks “widespread abuse…

CNN  —  Wanda Sykes closed the night in typical bombastic and hilarious fashion at the Critics Choice Association‘s Celebration of LGBTQ+ Cinema & Television on Friday night in Los Angeles, delivering an impromptu speech that ran the gamut from community organizing to admitting she hasn’t seen the Amazon Prime show “Etoile.” Sykes was awarded the last trophy of the evening, for career achievement, wrapping a show that saw other LGBTQ-identifying stars acknowledged for their work over the past year, including Nathan Lee Graham from “Mid-Century Modern” and the cast of “Somebody Somewhere.” As Sykes began her speech, she held onto…

EAST HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — A third straight loss didn’t prevent Mauricio Pochettino from thinking big.“We need to believe. We need to compete like today and for sure we’re going to have the possibility to win the World Cup,” the U.S. coach said after the Americans lost their third straight game, wasting an early lead in a 2-1 defeat to Turkey in a friendly on Saturday. Jack McGlynn scored 59 seconds in for the U.S., which was missing many regulars as Pochettino revamped his roster following a dismal performance at the CONCACAF Nations League final four in March.Turkey took advantage…

CNN  —  They know all about glory days on the Kop – the fabled terrace that is the spiritual home of fans of Liverpool – England’s Premier League champions. But they’re more used to legends like Kenny Dalglish or Mohamed Salah banging in goals than political cries for help. So, it was surreal to watch alongside thousands of middle-aged Brits as Bruce Springsteen bemoaned America’s democracy crisis on hallowed footballing ground. “The America that I love … a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 years, is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent and treasonous” administration, Springsteen said…

Jenny O’Hara initially signed on to a dating app to bump up her confidence. Fresh out of a 20-year marriage, the Neptune Township, New Jersey, resident didn’t believe a man would ever find her attractive again. A friend suggested she try dating online, so she created a profile on Facebook.“I was looking for people to tell me: ‘You’re okay. Even though you just got divorced, you’re still marketable,’” she said, adding that she did get attention from men online. “And that made me feel better – not for a long time, but it made me feel better for a little…

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — After Brad Marchand scored the winning goal in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final, he and Florida Panthers teammate Sam Bennett were asked how they kept their bodies going during another long and intense matchup against the Edmonton Oilers.“I think (Marchand) grabbed a Blizzard … I think it was Oreo today,” Bennett quipped, referring to a viral moment during the Eastern Conference finals when Marchand joked that he enjoyed a chocolate chip cookie dough treat from Dairy Queen between periods — which was later revealed as a spoonful of honey.“Nice plug,” Marchand responded with…

Welcome back to Week in Review! Got lots for you today, including why Windsurf lost access to Claude, ChatGPT’s new features, WWDC 2025, Elon Musk’s fight with Donald Trump, and lots more. Have a great weekend! Duh: During an interview at TC Sessions: AI 2025, Anthropic’s co-founder had a perfectly reasonable explanation for why the company cut access to Windsurf: “I think it would be odd for us to be selling Claude to OpenAI,” Chief Science Officer Jared Kaplan said, referring to rumors and reports that OpenAI, its largest competitor, is acquiring the AI coding assistant. Seems like a good…

While the online feud between Elon Musk and President Donald Trump seemed to drive traffic to Musk’s social media platform X (formerly Twitter), it could also create issues for the platform’s parent company xAI. Musk merged X and xAI earlier this year, with Bloomberg reporting this week that he was looking to raise $5 billion in debt (as well as a reported $300 million in a secondary sale) to fund the combined company. That’s led to some awkward moments as Musk’s relationship with his former ally Trump seemed to disintegrate. In fact, The Wall Street Journal reports that on Thursday…
