In January 2020, Robert Williams spent 30 hours in a Detroit jail because facial recognition technology suggested he was a criminal. The match was wrong, and Mr. Williams sued.On Friday, as part of a legal settlement over his wrongful arrest, Mr. Williams won a commitment from the Detroit Police Department to do better. The city adopted new rules for police use of facial recognition technology that the American Civil Liberties Union, which represented Mr. Williams, said should become the new national standard.“Hopefully it moves the needle in the right direction,” Williams said.Mr. Williams was the first known person to be wrongfully arrested because of facial recognition errors. But he wasn’t the last. Detroit police have arrested at least two other people following botched facial recogni...

A heart surgeon, a former mayor of Tehran and a cleric implicated in the execution of political prisoners are among six candidates approved by authorities to run in Iran's elections on Friday to replace the president who died in a helicopter crash last month.The candidates have renounced the hijab requirement in Iran. They have addressed U.S. sanctions that have contributed to the country's economic crisis and have openly criticized the government during a series of debates, an unusual move in Iranian politics. However, voter apathy in the country is high and divisions among conservative leaders make the outcome difficult to predict.Although Iran's supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, has final authority over major state matters, the president sets domestic policy and can influence fo...

The Biden administration said this week that it opposes gender-affirming surgery on minors, the most outspoken statement yet on the issue from a president who has been a vocal supporter of transgender rights.The White House announcement was sent to the New York Times on Wednesday in response to a report that staff in the office of Adm. Rachel Levine, assistant secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, had solicited an influential international organization to Transgender health remove minimum age for surgery from treatment guidelines for minors.The interim guidelines would have lowered the minimum age limits to 14 for hormone treatments, 15 for mastectomies, 16 for breast augmentation or facial surgery, and 17 for genital surgery or hysterectomies. The final guidelines, rel...

Rishi Sunak’s gamble was a big one. Five weeks ago, the British prime minister gambled on his belief that a summer election would give his Conservative Party a better chance of holding on to power than waiting until the autumn.Calling a snap election was Sunak’s last throw of the dice. But it has since emerged that in the days before he announced to the country in the pouring rain on May 22 that he was going to the polls, a number of colleagues and underlings were placing bets of a more literal kind.Looking at data from the week before Mr Sunak’s announcement, bookmakers noticed a spike in bets placed on the election date. The amounts wagered were small, totalling just a few thousand pounds, but the sudden flurry of activity was enough to warrant further investigation.The question of wheth...

What does artificial intelligence sound like? Hollywood has been imagining this for decades. Now AI developers are copying from movies, creating voices for real machines based on dated movie fantasies about how machines should talk.Last month, OpenAI revealed updates to its artificially intelligent chatbot. ChatGPT, the company said, is learning to hear, see and converse in a naturalistic voice, much like the disembodied operating system voiced by Scarlett Johansson in Spike Jonze’s 2013 film “Her.”ChatGPT's voice, called Sky, also had a husky tone, a calming effect and a sexy touch. She was nice and shy; it seemed like she was ready for anything. After Sky's debut, Johansson expressed disappointment at the "eerily similar" sound and said she had previously rejected OpenAI'...

The United States is in the midst of an intense diplomatic push to prevent an all-out war between Israel and Hezbollah forces in Lebanon, as risks grow that either side could launch a broader regional battle.In recent days, U.S. officials have pressured their Israeli counterparts and conveyed messages to Hezbollah leaders aimed at averting a broader regional conflict that they fear could involve both Iran and the United States.Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant met with several Biden administration officials in Washington this week, largely to discuss rising tensions along Israel’s northern border with Lebanon. That visit was followed last week by one by Israel’s national security adviser, Tzachi Hanegbi, and his strategic affairs minister, Ron Dermer.Also last week, a senior White Hous...

On the surface, abortion rights have had a good run on the Supreme Court this term. Two weeks ago, the justices unanimously let the abortion pill remain widely available. On Thursday, the court rejected a case over Idaho’s strict abortion ban, which has had the effect of allowing the state’s emergency rooms to perform the procedure when a patient’s health is at risk.But the two rulings were so technical as to be ephemeral. They seemed designed to evade and delay, to kick a shaky argument down the road — or at least after Election Day.Some abortion rights advocates called these rulings Pyrrhic victories, fearing they would pave the way for further restrictions, either by the courts or by a second Trump administration.In Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, the 2022 decision tha...

In the early 1870s, an émigré painter watched from a railway footbridge as a steam locomotive left a station on the outskirts of London. His name was Camille Pissarro and he was developing a style of plein air painting that would soon be called "Impressionism".Pissarro and another émigré, Claude Monet, remained in London for only a few months. In April 1874, they were among the painters who held the first Impressionist exhibition in Paris, the subject of a retrospective that will run until July 14 at the Musée d'Orsay and will open on September 8 at the National Gallery of Art in Washington DCBut London was one of their earliest muses. Monet painted the River Thames and the Palace of Westminster, among other central landmarks, while Pissarro captured suburban scenes where houses and r...
