ICE is equipping officers with body cameras by September, but its policy allows the agency to control what footage is released, prioritizing its "best interests." This could limit public access to recordings of high-profile confrontations, sparking concerns about accountability and transparency.
Retired General Paul Nakasone says US water systems need better cyber defense due to recent hacks, likely by Iran, targeting operational technology devices. He suggests partnerships and a more involved approach to defend the 50,000 US water municipalities.
A new study suggests that life may have emerged twice, with bacteria and archaea independently developing metabolism and becoming free-living cells. This challenges the traditional view of a single origin of life, with two separate lineages evolving from a primordial soup.
Reining in federal spending was never going to be so easy.
The US population is projected to shift, with older adults outnumbering children around 2029 for the first time in US history. This change has been building for decades, with the number of older adults rising five-fold since 1950.
New Orleans is using AI to answer 911 calls to reduce the volume of calls human dispatchers must handle, which is over a thousand emergency calls a day. The AI system assesses incoming calls and directs callers to a human dispatcher or provides information, prioritizing emergency calls and handling non-urgent calls during surges.
