AI Advances Aid NYPD in CEO’s Murder Investigation
The NYPD is leveraging facial recognition technology and its extensive Domain Awareness System of 18,000 cameras in the investigation of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson's murder. While AI tools like facial matching and posture analysis provide valuable leads, human analysis and corroborative evidence are essential for arrests. Experts view this case as a significant test of AI's role in modern law enforcement.
Controversial AI Algorithm at Center of Murdered CEO's Legacy
UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, recently murdered in NYC, oversaw an insurer criticized for using an AI algorithm, nH Predict, to deny medical claims.

Eating disorders already affect 1 in 5 teens, raising concerns about AI's role in worsening the crisis.
Google to Enhance Search with AI-Powered Conversations
Google's unreleased AI Mode (AIM) may soon transform searches into interactive, conversational experiences, blending text, voice, and image capabilities. Integrated with Google Lens and inspired by the Gemini assistant, AIM will allow follow-up questions and real-time engagement. The feature could redefine Google Search, shifting from results-focused to insightful, human-like answers.
