Well, Good Morning!
Let's take a look at what the day has in store for us.
So, let's dig in, shall we?
Here's What You Need To Know... Federal agencies to expand use of facial recognition Ten federal agencies plan on expanding the use of Facial Recognition Technology (FRT) by 2023, according to a Government Accountability Office (GAO) report released Tuesday. How to use these technologies ethically and how to regulate related products will become major questions as more government agencies begin using them.
The ten agencies cited in the GAO report are the departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Defense, Homeland Security, Health and Human Services, Interior, Justice, State, Treasury, and Veterans Affairs. Many federal agencies want to use this technology for solving crimes, which could be a violation of privacy.
In a June GAO report, the report described how the U.S. Postal Inspection Service would use Clearview AI to solve mail-related crimes. Many tech companies are stalling law enforcement's adoption of this technology. In June 2020, Amazon stopped the sale of FRT to the police for one year, citing a lack of federal regulation over these products. The ban was extended indefinitely in May 2021.
How many more people died in NY than the former governor admitted? The new governor of New York, Kathy Hochul, began her term with a harsh dose of reality. She revealed that about 12,000 more New Yorkers had died of the virus than former Governor Andrew Cuomo had previously reported. In addition to the sexual harassment scandal that plagued his adminstration the last several months, Cuomo had also allegedly underreported the number of people who died in nursing homes. That number was off by about 50%.
Her updated data now matches the number shared by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ― about 55,400 deaths so far. However, just before his disgraced departure from office on Monday, Cuomo was sticking to his guns, saying that 43,400 residents had died of the disease. He was apparently using data that didn't include people who passed away at home, in hospice, or elsewhere. His figures were pretty exclusive to hospitals and nursing homes.
Hochul's approach to truth is seen as a refreshing change after Cuomo's fall from grace. She said in an interview: "We're now releasing more data than had been released before publicly, so people know the nursing home deaths and the hospital deaths are consistent with what's being displayed by the CDC. There's a lot of things that weren't happening and I'm going to make them happen. Transparency will be the hallmark of my administration."
Adult film star Ron Jeremy indicted on 33 counts of rape, sexual assault Adult film star Ron Jeremy was indicted on more than 30 rape and sexual assault counts involving 21 people dating back more than two decades, the Los Angeles County district attorney's office announced Wednesday. Hyatt is accused of sexually assaulting more than 20 women over a 23-year span dating back to 1996. The victims range in age from 15 to 51.
The counts appear to be identical to charges filed against Jeremy last year. Facing over 300 years in prison if convicted, Jeremy pleaded not guilty in Los Angeles Superior Court on Wednesday, as he has in nearly every court appearance since his first arrest last June.
Jeremy, 67, is considered one of the icons of the adult entertainment industry. He made his way into the Guinness Book of World Records for "Most Appearances in Adult Films," after having appeared in more than 2,200 movies.
In 2015, he talked to CNN about almost dying from an aortic dissection in 2013. While he came close to death, the actor said he has always subscribed to the idea that living a good life and being a good person is the best thing one can do on this Earth. "I've always been spiritual," Jeremy said at the time.
