World needs to be ‘vigilant’ as AI technology improves and deepfakes spread: UN adviser

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:33:34 GMT

Toronto, Ontario (CTV Network) — A UN adviser says the world needs to be “vigilant” as artificial intelligence technology improves, allowing for more realistic-looking deepfakes.Deepfakes refer to media, typically video or audio, manipulated with AI to falsely depict a person saying or doing something that never happened in real life.“A digital twin is essentially a replica of something from the real world… Deepfakes are the mirror image of digital twins, meaning that someone had created a digital replica without the permission of that person, and usually for malicious purposes, usually to trick somebody,” California-based AI expert Neil Sahota, who has served as an AI adviser to the United Nations, told CTVNews.ca over the phone on Friday.Deepfakes have been used to produce a wide variety of fake news content, such as one supposedly showing Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy telling his country to surrender to Russia. Scammers have also used deepf...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:33:34 GMT

(CNN) — The North Carolina Zoo has welcomed three litters of red wolf pups, bringing in a dozen new members of the world’s most endangered wolf species.The wolves were born during a three-day period in late April and are part of the zoo’s red wolf breeding program, it said in a news release.“All pups and their mothers are healthy and doing well. This is the first time in the Zoo’s breeding program that three litters were born in one spring,” the zoo said in the release.Next month, the zoo plans to announce a public naming poll for one of the litters.With the addition of the new pups, the zoo’s breeding program now has 36 red wolves, making it the second-largest pack in the United States, after Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium in Tacoma, Washington, the news release noted.“These births are important because many of our wolves, once matured, have been moved to other breeding packs to continue to help bring this species back from near extinction. Our hope is that more and more red wolve...

Religious theme park in Orlando demolished

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:33:34 GMT

Orlando’s controversial religious theme park, The Holy Land Experience, sees its final days as it is torn down.The end of an era was marked once claws tore at the last of the Roman Coliseum, one of the most iconic landmarks of the park. The attraction opened in 2002 and told the story of Jesus through the eyes of Christianity. Though it was revered by many, it was also mocked. The park’s gift shop sold Holy Land fanny packs and, using bean bags, guests could hit the devil with their best shot.YouTuber Vincent Rodriguez lives in Orlando and bought a ticket out of curiosity.“It was a pretty interesting experience,” said Rodriguez. “There was a lot to see and do. I could see why it had been here in Orlando so long.”But eventually, the park was no longer able to make a profit, causing the gates to close several years ago.“You have to be successful 365 days a year,” said theme park expert Abe Pizam, who believes that in the motherland of th...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:33:34 GMT

Joe Paolucci knew his team possessed plenty of talent. To see it all come together, however, was hard to expect.Behind ace Sean Zaslaw and a relentless lineup that has four hitters batting over .400, Weymouth heads into the final week of the regular season with a 15-4 record, with wins in 11 of its last 12 games.The Wildcats hold a season sweep over Braintree to go splits versus Div. 2 favorite Milton and perennial Div. 1 contender Walpole.“Every year here I have been cautiously optimistic but it has not worked out,” said Paolucci, who is in his ninth season as head coach. “I knew with a caliber pitcher like Sean Zaslaw he could take us to 6-7 wins. Between what he has been doing and 3-4 other guys, it’s turned into a great year.”Senior first baseman Andrew Ferguson is batting .481 to go with three home runs and 21 RBIs. Paolucci’s shortstop, senior Gill Dolan, is one of the top overall players in the Bay State Conference as evidenced by his .468 ...
