Air New Zealand launches facial recognition verification at boarding gates after successful LAX trial

Air New Zealand is introducing biometric facial recognition verification at its boarding gates in the US after a successful trial at Los Angeles Airport (LAX), the airline has announced.

"Boarding passes will soon be a thing of the past," it said in a statement to media, adding the move is part of its "plan to take the friction out of travel and to make the journey through the airport that much smoother".

"No sighting passports and no scanning boarding passes."

The scary truth about AI copyright is nobody knows what will happen next

Generative AI has had a very good year. Corporations like Microsoft, Adobe, and GitHub are integrating the tech into their products; startups are raising hundreds of millions to compete with them; and the software even has cultural clout, with text-to-image AI models spawning countless memes. But listen in on any industry discussion about generative AI, and you’ll hear, in the background, a question whispered by advocates and critics alike in increasingly concerned tones: is any of this actually legal?

The question arises because of the way generative AI systems are trained. Like most machine learning software, they work by identifying and replicating patterns in data. But because these programs are used to generate code, text, music, and art, that data is itself created by humans, scraped from the web and copyright protected in one way or another.





Q: How will we be able to tell when Trump is lying? A: Are his lips moving?

Facebook fact-checkers will stop checking Trump after presidential bid announcement

Facebook’s fact-checkers will need to stop fact-checking former President Donald Trump following the announcement that he is running for president, according to a company memo obtained by CNN.

While Trump is currently banned from Facebook, the fact-check ban applies to anything Trump says and false statements made by Trump can be posted to the platform by others. Despite Trump’s ban, “Team Trump,” a page run by Trump’s political group, is still active and has 2.3 million followers.
