An AI model trained on prison phone calls now looks for planned crimes in those calls

The model is built to detect when crimes are being “contemplated.”

A U.S. telecom company trained an AI on years of inmates’ phone and video calls and is now piloting it to scan calls, texts, and emails, aiming to predict and prevent crimes. Securus Technologies built the tool starting in 2023, including a model trained on seven years of Texas prison calls, and has been testing it in real time in jails and prisons.

The AI flags conversations for human review to detect criminal activity, including trafficking and gang-related crimes. Inmates are notified that calls are recorded, but few know their data could train AI. Advocates warn this creates coercive consent and deepens invasive surveillance, while courts have set few limits. Securus says the tool makes monitoring more efficient, not to target individuals, and aims to balance security with affordability.

World's First: Unitree Humanoid Robot Autonomous Walking Challenge in −47.4°C Extreme Cold

−47.4°C, 130,000 steps, 89.75°E, 47.21°N… On the extremely cold snowfields of Altay, the birthplace of human skiing, Unitree's humanoid robot G1 left behind a unique set of marks.

Sony Group has developed a technology that can identify the original music used in AI-generated songs, potentially allowing songwriters to seek compensation if their work helped train AI models.

The system analyzes which artists’ tracks were used in learning and generating music, and can even estimate contribution levels. If developers cooperate, Sony can connect directly to base model systems for detailed data. Without cooperation, it compares AI-generated tracks with existing catalogs to estimate the sources.

As the AI boom fuels accusations of copyrighted music being used without permission — including songs mimicking famous singers — Sony believes this tool could support a framework where revenue from AI music is shared with original creators and help curb infringement.

Developed by Sony AI, the technology could also be applied to video, games and character content. The company has not yet announced when it will be put into practical use.

Imagine a kitchen that cooks for you 🍳
In the US, a robot called Posha has appeared for $1500. You drop the ingredients into the bowl, tap a recipe, and go about your day. From there it does everything on its own. It fries, stirs, adds spices and catches the perfect moment when the dish is ready.
Inside there is a camera and plenty of algorithms, with more than a thousand recipes stored. This is not just a multicooker but something closer to a personal chef who never complains and never takes a vacation.
There are some caveats. It needs a constant internet connection, a $15 monthly subscription is required, and it takes up quite a bit of kitchen space. Still, it feels like the future is quietly cooking you dinner 🤖

In San Francisco, the autonomous future hit a snag 🤖
Waymo robotaxis stalled across the city, triggering traffic jams everywhere. The cause was a fire at a PG&E substation that knocked out power to nearly a third of San Francisco, affecting around 130,000 people. Traffic lights went dark and the streets descended into chaos.
In theory, Waymo vehicles know the rule when signals fail, everyone stops. But with dozens of such intersections, the system became overly cautious. Cars waited too long, blocked lanes and effectively paralyzed traffic.
Most rides ended without incidents, but social media is now full of videos showing robotaxis standing silently in the middle of the road, as if waiting for a reboot. Autopilot, yes. Apocalypse, not yet.

If it feels like developers at giants like Google must be living in poolside villas, reality is sometimes very different 😅

A woman drove through a neighborhood in California and showed a whole line of vans parked along the road. And according to her, many of them are home to tech workers, because housing anywhere near their jobs costs a ridiculous amount.

So for some people, the “dream life” does not look like a mansion. It looks like van life with Wi Fi 🚐
