AI Feedback Signs Combat Bad Driving
DC Highway Safety Office introduces AI-enabled feedback signs to deter distracted driving. Portable devices, funded by grants, target areas prone to distracted driving, including school zones and high-risk roads. Installed as part of Mayor Bowser's Vision Zero plan, the initiative aims to reduce traffic fatalities in the district.
Unlike speeding cameras, these devices provide warnings but don't issue penalties. Similar AI traffic enforcement measures are being adopted nationwide. The pilot program, in collaboration with Safer Street Solutions, reflects a broader trend toward leveraging technology to enhance road safety efforts.

China to Deploy AI in Disrupting Global Elections

While the current impact remains minimal, Microsoft cautions that China's AI-driven disinformation campaigns could gain efficacy over time.
The report underscores Beijing's expanding use of AI, including creating AI-generated news anchors. This warning coincides with revelations of Microsoft's security lapses, allowing Chinese hackers to breach US officials' emails, and recent accusations of China-backed cyber campaigns by the US and UK.
