Jikipedia, a clone of Wikipedia, has created AI-generated dossiers on associates of Jeffrey Epstein, turning his emails into an encyclopedia of his powerful friends, according to The Verge. The dossiers include details of visits to Epstein's properties, potential knowledge of his crimes, and possible legal violations. This development comes as the World Health Organization (WHO) condemned a US-funded vaccine trial as unethical, and a California beach town prepares to use AI to broaden its hunt for bike lane blockers.
The Jikipedia project, created by the "Jmail team," utilizes the data from Epstein's emails to generate detailed reports on his associates, as reported by The Verge. The entries include information on individuals' connections to Epstein, potentially shedding light on their involvement in his alleged crimes.
Simultaneously, the WHO released a formal statement criticizing a US-funded vaccine trial for newborns in Guinea-Bissau, Africa, as unethical, according to Ars Technica. The trial was criticized for withholding a safe and potentially life-saving hepatitis B vaccine from some newborns. The WHO concluded the trial was inconsistent with established ethical and scientific principles. The trial has drawn widespread condemnation from health experts since the US funding was announced in December.
In other news, the city of Santa Monica, California, will become the first city in the country to use an AI system in municipal parking enforcement vehicles to detect bike lane violations, Ars Technica reported. Beginning in April, Hayden AI's scanning technology will be implemented in seven parking enforcement cars. "The more we can reduce the amount of illegal parking, the safer we can make it for bike riders," said Charley Territo, chief growth officer at Hayden AI. The technology is already in use on city buses.
These developments highlight the ongoing use of technology in various sectors, from uncovering potential connections to criminal activity to improving public safety.
