Backlash against AI is taking an extremist turn, following in the footsteps of earlier techno-pessimist militants Sign up for the Breaking News US newsletter email When a 20-year-old man from Texas was arrested earlier this year for allegedly trying to burn down OpenAI’s headquarters and Sam Altman’s house, authorities found an anti-AI manifesto alongside his lighter and a jug of kerosene. It was one of a spate of attacks that has caused alarm among researchers, the tech industry and law enforcement about the rise of anti-tech extremism. In April, an Italian “nature pilled” Instagram influencer was arrested in Rome and charged with plotting a series of anti-tech attacks that took inspiration from Ted “The Unabomber” Kaczynski. Two self-described “ecofascists” that carried out a deadly anti-Muslim attack on a mosque in San Diego last month also cited “AI slop” and JD Vance’s ties to Palantir as motivations for their violence in their manifesto. An Indianapolis city councilor woke up earlier this year to gunshots being fired into his home before finding a note that read “NO DATA CENTERS”. Continue reading...
A top White House artificial intelligence policy adviser on Saturday said he will leave his position at the end of June, marking the exit of a leading figure helping craft policies for frontier technologies. “This journey has been the privilege of a lifetime,” the adviser, Sriram Krishnan, posted on social media platform X. Krishnan did not give a reason for leaving, but wrote in the post he intends to help “tackle some of the large challenges facing America” related to AI. Krishnan has been involved in the Trump administration’s efforts to create a national framework for regulating developments in AI. His departure comes as the president looks at the possibility of the US government acquiring stakes in AI firms. “There’s something very interesting about it, where it almost becomes a partnership with the American public,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One on Friday, adding that he planned to meet with AI executives as soon as next week. Trump’s embrace of AI has at times been complicated by security concerns about the technology within his own administration. Fears over AI’s unknowns in national security contributed to a months-long standoff between the Trump administration and AI firm Anthropic. The Pentagon blacklisted Anthropic earlier this year after the tech company refused to allow the US military to use its models for domestic surveillance and fully autonomous weapons systems. After a White House meeting with the CEO of Anthropic, which is preparing to go public, tensions have appeared to thaw. The White House in a Tuesday executive order directed federal agencies to ask leading AI developers to voluntarily submit their most capable models for government cybersecurity tests before releasing them to the public. Some populists in the president’s orbit warn that AI presents a political risk, as proposals to build data centres to power these companies have stirred intense backlash. In his State of the Union speech in February, Trump said he told big tech companies to build their own power plants. Tech CEOs later agreed to tackle new electricity generation and efficiency measures.

Financial Secretary Paul Chan on Sunday said a committee dedicated to artificial intelligence development in Hong Kong would hold its first meeting this month. Writing in his weekly blog, Chan said the Committee on AI+ and Industry Development Strategy consists of experts, academics and business representatives. It will study the use of AI in life and health science, embodied AI as well as AI application strategies in various aspects such as transport, culture and sustainable development, he said. Chan also said the government had allocated HK$50 million to launch AI training for all, including courses on AI application, lectures and competitions. He said over 200 events were expected to be hosted in two years, benefiting some 50,000 people. Chan went on to say that the form of AI training would be diversified to meet the needs of different groups. “For example, training for students can place more emphasis on encouraging practical application,” he said. “To help the elderly gain a basic understanding of AI so that they can better use the tool and avoid being scammed, we will first offer training for the community and students and let them become ambassadors for seniors’ AI learning.” The FS also said a mainland firm working on embodied AI would launch a robot retail store at the Hung Hom harbourfront soon, with a robot store manager serving customers in multiple languages around the clock. “A person-in-charge told us they chose Hong Kong as the first stop for their retail stores to go global because of the city’s international platform, open atmosphere for new technologies and visibility of innovation and technology projects,” Chan said. “International capital continues to pay attention to and be optimistic about our country’s leading advantages in several emerging industries. The Hong Kong market, as an important international financing centre for these companies, also enhances the city’s attractiveness to start-ups and technology companies.” Chan added that the SAR has been promoting AI development at full speed over the past few years.

Mumbai: Beneath a busy flyover in India's financial capital Mumbai, a row of pastel-coloured shipping containers houses an unlikely school serving some of the city's most marginalised children.Despite laws guaranteeing free schooling for children aged six to 14, poverty and migration continue to keep many out of classrooms, particularly in sprawling cities like Mumbai where many families survive through low-paying informal work.Crippling urban poverty also means young children selling knick-knacks on streets are still a fairly common sight at crowded traffic intersections in big Indian cities.But the non-profit that runs the free school is determined to educate its underprivileged cohort, many of whom come from homeless families that barely eke out a living.Wedged between gleaming skyscrapers and busy roads, the "Signal Shala", or traffic signal school, caters to several dozen children who have been left out of the formal education system, according to Bhatu Sawant, founder of the initiative."These children can't go to (a regular) school. So (I thought) let's do this. Let's bring the school to them," Sawant, 45, told AFP.Also read | Major change in buyer behaviour as e-scooters race deeper into BharatIndia runs one of the world's largest public school systems, but government data for 2024-25 still identified nearly 1.2 million children as "out of school", a catch-all categorisation that covers both those who have never been to school or dropped out.Free mealsFor Sawant, India's government-run schools are simply "not flexible enough for these children", while private ones charging exorbitant fees are out of the question.The signal school operates from repurposed air-conditioned containers placed on a narrow strip of land beneath a flyover, where classes and play unfold amid the constant rumble of traffic overhead.Its approach is tailored to the realities of street life.Every morning, the school bus drives through the cramped lanes of Mumbai's slums, picking up students -- a lifeline for parents who can't afford transportation.When the children file in, the first order of business is a shower, as many have no easy access to bathing facilities.Lockers are provided for books and uniforms that otherwise cannot be kept safe or clean while living in slums or on the streets.Three meals are provided free, with school hours longer than normal.Also read | Indian tourists go viral for all wrong reasons. Here's how not to become the next horror storyClasses are split by ability rather than age, with teachers adapting lessons for children who may never have held a pencil before.Older students are also taught basic skills like sitting still, speaking clearly and staying focused.The challenges are particularly acute when it comes to kids from the semi-nomadic Pardhi community, who often do not speak the local language."When the children came here, they didn't know what the days of the week were, what the 12 months were or what the seasons were," said teacher Tejasvi Borade, as the container walls rumbled from the steady stream of cars passing above.Robotics and AIFor the students, the school serves as a sanctuary from the harshness of the real world."I feel very happy seeing the school bus," said 12-year-old Pooja Pawar, whose parents take on odd jobs at construction sites."The school clothes feel nice. The breakfast is good... In school, we make cake... and dance."For others, it represents an opportunity long denied.Balaji Laxman, who once sold tissues at traffic lights to earn a few hundred rupees -- the equivalent of several US dollars -- a day, said the classrooms represent a chance to imagine a different future."I want to become a doctor," Laxman, 12, said with a shy smile.While the school steers many children towards vocational pathways, Sawant said the broader ambition is to ensure they are not left behind in a rapidly changing world."We have to prepare them for the 21st century," said Sawant, who has set up two similar schools on the outskirts of Mumbai which have robotics labs among other facilities."They should know robotics, AI, computers, 3D printing," said the educator who relies on private and corporate donations for funding, with the government helping with the infrastructure."Everything that elite class children are doing well in, they should know all of that."

Meta 2034 que Rio das Velhas limpo em 8 anos O Projeto Manuelzão, da Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG), lançou a Meta 2034, iniciativa que pretende recuperar a qualidade da água do Rio das Velhas e devolver condições para a vida aquática em trechos atualmente considerados críticos na Região Metropolitana de Belo Horizonte. A proposta estabelece como objetivo melhorar a qualidade da água ao longo de 90 quilômetros do rio, entre a foz do Rio Itabirito, em Rio Acima, e a foz do Ribeirão da Mata. Os esforços, porém, serão concentrados em um trecho de aproximadamente 30 quilômetros entre o encontro do Rio das Velhas com o Ribeirão Arrudas, em Sabará, e a foz do Ribeirão da Mata. Segundo os idealizadores, a meta é fazer com que áreas atualmente classificadas como Classe 4, categoria associada a corpos d'água com severas restrições de uso, alcancem a Classe 2, condição que permite a existência de peixes e algumas atividades recreativas. Rio das Velhas TV Globo O plano para 2034 A Meta 2034 dá continuidade ao trabalho iniciado pelo Projeto Manuelzão no fim da década de 1970. De acordo com o coordenador e idealizador da iniciativa, Apolo Heringer, avanços já foram alcançados nos últimos anos com a implantação de estações de tratamento de esgoto. "Foi de 60% a melhoria da qualidade da água do Rio das Velhas, confirmada pela volta dos peixes em grande quantidade até o Médio Rio das Velhas", relembrou Heringer. Para Apolo, a recuperação do trecho metropolitano é estratégica para a revitalização de toda a bacia. "Nessa região aí, bem pequena, são 30 quilômetros de meandro do rio, estão concentrados mais de 70% da população de toda a bacia. Está concentrado mais de 70% do PIB e mais de 70% de todo o esgoto e lixo da bacia. Se a gente resolver o problema nessa pequena área hidrográfica, que corresponde a 4% da área de toda a bacia, nós já estaremos salvando o Rio das Velhas", completou. Entre as medidas apontadas para atingir a meta estão a ampliação da coleta e do tratamento de esgoto, além do fortalecimento da infraestrutura existente. "Depende primeiro do tratamento do esgoto e da coleta do esgoto. Tem a ETE Arrudas, que tem que ser turbinada, tem a ETE Onça, que precisa ser turbinada. E tem todos os municípios em volta, que tem contrato com a Copasa, que se somar em um esforço", concluiu o professor. Rio das Velhas percorre mais de 800km até desaguar no São Francisco. TV Globo Um rio histórico O Rio das Velhas possui cerca de 806 quilômetros de extensão. Nasce em Ouro Preto e deságua no Rio São Francisco, na Barra do Guaicuí, distrito de Várzea da Palma, no Norte de Minas. Ao longo da história, teve papel importante na ocupação do território mineiro e no ciclo do ouro. Apesar da relevância histórica e ambiental, o rio sofre há décadas com problemas como lançamento de esgoto, ocupação irregular das margens, desmatamento de matas ciliares e impactos da atividade minerária. Em Santa Luzia, um dos municípios cortados pelo Rio das Velhas, a situação é considerada especialmente preocupante. Segundo o secretário municipal de Meio Ambiente, Agricultura e Abastecimento, Vicente Rodrigues, parte do esgoto gerado na região ainda chega diretamente ao curso d'água. "Santa Luzia é a parte mais baixa do Médio Alto Rio das Velhas. Ou seja, todo o esgoto produzido em cidades como Ouro Preto, Rio Acima, Sabará, Nova Lima, Belo Horizonte e parte de Contagem deságua aqui no Rio das Velhas", afirmou o secretário. Para ele, a recuperação do rio depende da atuação conjunta dos municípios da bacia. "A forma de equacionar o problema de verdade é cada município se preocupar com a sua parte, entendendo que o rio não enxerga fronteiras. Não adianta apenas uma cidade resolver o problema", complementou Rodrigues. O desafio da mineração A Meta 2034 também prevê ações voltadas para a segurança hídrica em áreas de mineração. A preocupação é com a presença de barragens e pilhas de rejeitos localizadas acima dos pontos de captação de água do Rio das Velhas. "Acima da captação do Rio das Velhas, nós temos 55 barragens de mineração e várias pilhas. Se essas estruturas não forem bem monitoradas e não houver fiscalização e manutenção adequadas, podem ocorrer vazamentos ou rompimentos. A maioria dessas estruturas é antiga e precisa estar adaptada para lidar com esse novo momento climático. A primeira medida é fazer uma revisão dessas estruturas", explicou Daniela Campolina, bióloga e integrante da coordenação do Observatório de Barragens de Mineração da UFMG. Morador da região e pescador há décadas no Rio das Velhas, Osvaldo Eduardo da Silva espera que o projeto permita a recuperação da fauna aquática e a reaproximação das pessoas com o rio. "Nos primeiros anos, vamos falar da época do meu pai, até surubim dava neste rio. Já chegaram a pegar surubins de 10 quilos, 15 quilos. Eu quero melhora. Quero que meus netos possam nadar, pescar e usar essa água até para beber", lembrou o morador. Ao defender a nova etapa do projeto, Apolo Heringer resume o objetivo da iniciativa: O Velhas é um mestre que nos ensina a pensar, a ter solidariedade e a querer mudar o mundo para melhor Osvaldo Eduardo da Silva, morador da região e pescador há décadas no Rio das Velhas TV Globo Vídeos mais assistidos do g1 MG
