It’s not AI, just raw data.

Don’t ever hand your phone to the cops
You should never voluntarily hand your phone to a police officer.
It’s going to become increasingly tempting for the cops to ask and for you to comply, especially as more and more states adopt digital ID systems that allow driver’s licenses and state IDs to be added to Apple Wallet on iOS and Google Wallet on Android. Californians can now add their driver’s licenses and state IDs to their iPhones and Apple Watches in addition to Android devices, making the state one of seven — alongside Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, Maryland, Hawaii, and Ohio — to allow storing digital IDs through Apple’s system.
These particular digital IDs are so far pretty limited. California’s are for use at “select TSA checkpoints” and participating businesses, for instance — they aren’t meant to be used as identification in traffic stops or other police interactions, which means users are supposed to continue carrying their physical IDs. But other states — including Louisiana and Colorado — have rolled out their own digital IDs that can be used during traffic stops and other police interactions, which may have fewer privacy protections. And Apple’s vision for Apple Pay has long been explicitly to replace your entire wallet, which means that eventually, these IDs will be meant for use during police stops.
Perspective. Will this approach work elsewhere?

Coursera CEO: AI won’t replace teachers—but it will transform education
A global debate on the future of education and the role of educators is unfolding as artificial intelligence (AI) reshapes every aspect of our lives. As AI permeates classrooms—from universities to corporate learning programs—many are left wondering: Will AI replace teachers? The short answer is no. But the longer explanation is more nuanced—and more optimistic.
In his essay, The Turing Trap: The Promise & Peril of Human-Like Artificial Intelligence, Stanford professor and leading voice in AI ethics Erik Brynjolfsson warns against prioritizing automation over augmentation. He argues that focusing on augmentation benefits not just workers but society as a whole. The same is true for education.

Find the Right Open Source Research Tools – Bellingcat’s New Online Investigations Toolkit
“Have you ever struggled to find a tool that does exactly what you need? Do you know the feeling of spending hours trying to figure out how to use a tool just to realise that the key features you are interested in are not working anymore, or that the previously free product has turned into a paid one that is more expensive than you can afford? You are not alone. More than 80 percent of open source researchers that participated in two Bellingcat surveys indicated that finding the right tools can be challenging. This is where our new Online Investigations Toolkit comes in: it not only helps you discover tools in categories like satellite imagery and maps, social media, transportation or archiving, but is also designed to help researchers learn how to use each tool by providing in-depth descriptions, common use cases and information on requirements and limitations for each toolkit entry. Most of the tools included can be used for free…”
