And so it begins… Will everyone recognize a bogus message?
Fake Joe Biden robocall tells New Hampshire Democrats not to vote Tuesday
The call, an apparent imitation or digital manipulation of the president's voice, says, "Voting this Tuesday only enables the Republicans in their quest to elect Donald Trump again."

Facial Recognition Technology Current Capabilities, Future Prospects, and Governance
National Academies: “Advances in Facial Recognition Technology Have Outpaced Laws, Regulations; New Report Recommends Federal Government Take Action on Privacy, Equity, and Civil Liberties Concerns. Some uses of facial recognition technology raise significant concerns that merit a swift government response, says a new report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. The report recommends consideration of federal legislation and an executive order, as well as attention from courts, the private sector, civil society organizations, and other organizations that work with facial recognition technology, and provides guidance for the technology’s responsible development and deployment. A powerful and increasingly used tool, facial recognition technology is useful for a large range of identity verification and identification applications, offering capabilities for checking whether someone is who they say they are and identifying a person in an image. Systems utilize trained artificial intelligence models to extract facial features and create a biometric template from an image, and compare the features in the template to the features of another image or set of images to produce a similarity score. The accuracy and speed of these systems have advanced rapidly in the last decade with the adoption of deep neural network-based machine learning, the report says. With few exceptions, the U.S. does not currently have authoritative guidance, regulations, or laws to adequately address issues related to facial recognition technology use, the report finds. It also notes that facial recognition technology can interfere with and substantially affect the values embodied in U.S. privacy, civil liberties, and human rights commitments — even if it does not necessarily violate rights and obligations included in statutes or constitutional provisions.”
I’m betting this is useful for non-lawyers too. (Thinking, I mean.)

Introducing AI Prompt Worksheets for the Legal Profession
Via LLRX – Introducing AI Prompt Worksheets for the Legal Profession – Jennifer (Greig) Wondracek identified that her AI results are much better when she stops and thinks them through, providing a high level of detail and a good explanation of what she want the AI system to produce. So, good law librarian that she is, she created a new form of plan for those who are learning to draft a prompt. And the result is the AI prompt worksheets she shares in this article.

We may not lose our jobs to robots so quickly, MIT study finds
As anxiety about artificial intelligence tools putting workers out of jobs reaches a global fever pitch, new research suggests that the economy isn’t ready for machines to put most humans out of work.
The fresh research finds that the impact of AI on the labor market will likely have a much slower adoption than some had previously feared as the AI revolution continues to dominate headlines. This carries hopeful implications for policymakers currently looking at ways to offset the worst of the labor market impacts linked to the recent rise of AI.
In a study published Monday, researchers at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab sought to quantify the question of not just will AI automate human jobs, but when this could happen. Researchers ended up finding that a vast majority of jobs previously identified as vulnerable to AI are not economically beneficial for employers to automate at this time.

The top five RSS readers for keeping up with your news feeds
The Verge: “When you want to check out your favorite news sites or other online information sources, you can take the time to go directly to each site, clog your email with newsletters and announcements, check the updates on your favorite social media app(s) — or you can use an RSS feed reader. RSS readers allow you to collect the articles of specific sources in one app, making it a lot easier to find the content you’re interested in without crawling through a lot of noise. RSS (which may stand for Really Simple Syndication, Rich Site Summary, or one of several other possibilities — nobody seems sure) has been around a while, having been first developed in 1999, although it wasn’t more widely adopted until a few years later. Since then, the idea of using feeds has risen and fallen in popularity (it didn’t help when Google, true to its habit of creating and killing apps, sunset its own popular Reader in 2013 ), but RSS has never actually gone away. Plenty of websites continue to maintain RSS feeds, and there are a wide range of RSS apps still available for those who want to use them. I’ve tried out a few, and these are the five that I thought worked best. Each of these works either via an online app or has apps for all the major formats: macOS, iOS, Windows, and Android. With one exception, they all have a free version, too.”
