"Locating The Netherlands' Most Wanted Criminal By Scrutinising Instagram"

"Let's start with the dementia socks. An intriguing idea, born out of a personal tragedy. Zeke Steer watched his own great-grandmother decline into dementia, and wanted to help. Spin forward a few years, and the research scientist has developed socks which detect early physical signs of the onset of diseases like Alzheimer's. "Sensors in our socks are detecting early signs of distress, and alerting a carer that they may need help," he says."

"Is this blasphemy? Experts thought that automation would come first for software engineers, analysts and accountants. Now, pastors have reasons to fear the onward march of AI. "Dear brothers and sisters in Christ. In this age of rapid technological advancement, we are surrounded by the marvelsAmazing or marvellous things. of AI. While technology can enhance our lives, we must remember that it is a tool, not a substitute for God's divineGodly or god-like. wisdom. Let us guard against technology replacing the divine in our hearts. Amen.""

"Researchers involved in a recent study trained an artificial intelligence (AI) model to diagnose type 2 diabetes in patients after six to 10 seconds of listening to their voice. Canadian medical researchers trained the machine-learning AI to recognise 14 vocal differences in the voice of someone with type 2 diabetes compared to someone without diabetes. The auditory features that the AI focussed on included slight changes in pitch and intensity, which human ears cannot distinguish. This was then paired with basic health data gathered by the researchers, such as age, sex, height and weight. Researchers believe that the AI model will drastically lower the cost for people with diabetes to be diagnosed."

"A fake, AI-generated image of Pope Francis stepping out in a stylish white puffer jacket and bejewelled crucifix racked up millions of views over the weekend - with many mistaking it for a real image. Experts fear the rapidly developing technology behind the image could soon undermine our ability to distinguish fake photos, which can be generated in seconds, from reality."

"TikTok has been fined £12.7m for illegally processing the data of 1.4 million children under 13 who were using its platform without parental consent, Britain's data watchdog said. The information commissioner said the China-owned video app had done "very little, if anything" to check who was using the platform and remove underage users, despite internal warnings the firm was flouting its own terms and conditions."

""Once these technical photographic limitations of the image are determined, we can then zoom in as closely as possible to every edge of the subjects, in order to highlight where detail has been altered, knowing what should be sharp and what shouldn't. "As per the annotations, this reveals sharp transitions of detail, usually from hard edged selections [in the image editing programme Adobe Photoshop], which can be either straight or worked around curved areas of detail. "It's the juddering of straight-line detail that is the biggest telltale sign of multiple frames being composited together. This can be seen extensively around the hair, arms, and especially at the zip midway down the princess's jacket. Seeing repetition of detail in the finer areas also reveals the likely use of the cloning tool in Photoshop."

"The organisation is a pioneer of the "ransomware as a service" model, whereby it outsources the target selection and attacks to a network of semi-independent "affiliates", providing them with the tools and infrastructure and taking a commission on the ransoms in return. As well as ransomware, which typically works by encrypting data on infected machines and demanding a payment for providing the decryption key, LockBit copied stolen data and threatened to publish it if the fee was not paid, promising to delete the copies on receipt of a ransom."

"A police investigation has been launched after MPs were apparently targeted in a "spear-phishing" attack, in what security experts believe could be an attempt to compromise parliament. A police force said it had started an inquiry after receiving a complaint from an MP who was sent a number of unsolicited messages last month."
