Ring's AI-powered "Search Party" feature is now available nationwide, offering a new tool to help locate lost pets, while a study from the University of Oxford warns of the potential dangers of relying on AI chatbots for medical advice. These developments come as prosecutors in France struggle with a DNA conundrum in a murder case involving identical twins, and as people in Argentina attempt a world record, and Danes are using apps to boycott US goods.
Ring's "Search Party" feature, which utilizes nearby cameras to help find missing dogs, is now accessible to anyone needing assistance, regardless of Ring camera ownership, according to Fox News. This initiative aims to expand the search efforts beyond individual yards and local social media groups.
Simultaneously, a study from the University of Oxford highlights the risks associated with using AI chatbots for medical advice. The research found that these chatbots provide inconsistent and inaccurate information, potentially endangering users. Dr. Rebecca Payne, lead medical practitioner on the study, stated that seeking medical advice from chatbots could be "dangerous," as reported by BBC Technology. The study involved 1,300 participants who were given scenarios to assess the accuracy of the advice provided.
In France, prosecutors are grappling with a complex murder case involving identical twins, Samuel and Jeremy Y, aged 33, as reported by Sky News. DNA found on the murder weapon matches both brothers, making it impossible to determine who fired the fatal shot in a double gang murder in September 2020. The pair are accused of the killing of 17-year-old Tidiane B.
In other news, hundreds of people gathered at Mar Chiquita Lake in Argentina to attempt a Guinness World Record for the largest group floating simultaneously, as reported by Euronews. The event, part of the "Festival de la Planchita," aimed to surpass the previous record set in 2017.
Also, in Denmark, product-scanning apps designed to help shoppers identify and boycott American goods have gained traction, following US President Donald Trump's expressed interest in acquiring Greenland, according to Euronews.
