Mikaela Shiffrin's bid for her record-setting 100th World Cup win came to an unexpected stop in Vermont. The prominent skier crashed during a giant slalom event, despite securing the fastest first-run time. In a dramatic twist, Shiffrin lost control near the finish line, impacting the safety netting after catching an edge. She was promptly attended to and later taken to a medical facility for assessment. A resilient Shiffrin announced minor injuries and expressed gratitude for the support. However, she confirmed she would sit out the next slalom event. Meanwhile, Sara Hector clinched victory following Shiffrin's crash. (With inputs from agencies.)
Meet Smith at CES 2025 in Las VegasEAGAN, Minn. (AP) — The Minnesota Vikings waived cornerback Akayleb Evans on Saturday in another setback for their beleaguered 2022 draft class. Evans started 15 games last season, but he had been relegated to a special teams role this year after the Vikings added veteran cornerbacks Stephon Gilmore and Shaquill Griffin. Evans was a fourth-round pick out of Missouri, one of three defensive backs among Minnesota's first five selections in 2022. Lewis Cine (first round) was waived and Andrew Booth (second round) was traded earlier this year. One of their second-round picks, guard Ed Ingram, lost his starting spot last week. Evans was let go to clear a roster spot for tight end Nick Muse, who was activated from injured reserve to play on Sunday at Chicago. The Vikings ruled tight end Josh Oliver out of the game with a sprained ankle. ___ AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/NFL The Associated Press

EFF confident of winning Phala Phala case in ConCourtMANILA, Philippines — Let the Department of Justice (DOJ) determine Vice President Sara Duterte’s criminal liability for her alleged death threats against President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos, and House Speaker Martin Romualdez. This is according to the leaders of the House of Representatives. This developed as the House concurrently addressed two impeachment complaints covering the same allegations. READ MORE: VP Sara Duterte faces 2nd impeachment rap First impeachment complaint vs VP Sara filed at House Raymond Garcia: ‘I won’t let any national concerns affect Cebu City’ Bataan 1st District Rep. Geraldine Roman, House Committee on Women and Gender Equality chairperson, on Sunday underscored the separation of powers. Roman said that Congress would focus on the impeachment proceedings while the DOJ would handle potential criminal liability. She said, partly in Filipino, in a statement, “That is a totally separate and independent process. We each have our jobs. As far as we are concerned, we have the mandate to process this impeachment complaint.” She further stressed the need for government agencies “to work independently and transparently.” “We’re not the ones who are going to tell the justice department to do their work. But we should let our government agencies do their work freely, independently, with transparency, with honesty,” she said. Meanwhile, Assistant Majority Leader and Tingog Party-list Rep. Jude Acidre said it would be important for the public to understand the distinction between the impeachment process in Congress and the DOJ’s criminal investigation. “This is under the DOJ, a separate process within the executive branch involving the criminal liability of the vice president. This is different from the impeachment process in the lower house, which is a political and legislative procedure,” Acidre explained in Filipino. The first impeachment complaint, filed on Monday by civil society and religious groups, accuses Duterte of culpable violations of the Constitution, graft and corruption, bribery, betrayal of public trust, and high crimes. This includes the reported death threats she supposedly made against the country’s top leaders. Meanwhile, the second impeachment complaint filed on Wednesday, cites betrayal of public trust, focusing on various issues related to the use of confidential funds by the Office of the Vice President and the Department of Education, which she previously chaired.The U.K. government has opened a consultation to explore ways to protect the rights of artists, writers, and composers when creative content is used to train AI models. The goal is to give creators control over their copyrighted material while fostering technological innovation. A proposal has been put forward to mandate transparency from AI developers, like OpenAI and Google, on what creative material they use and how they obtain it. It will also allow rights holders to opt out of their work used to train models or strike licensing deals if they do consent. While many licensing deals have already been agreed between tech companies and artists, the government says that many creators have been unable to reach agreements under the current copyright regime and require additional support. At the same time, the proposal wants to ensure tech companies “have access to high-quality material to train leading AI models in the UK and support innovation across the UK AI sector.” It suggests creating an exception to the U.K. laws that currently prohibit using copyrighted material without permission to train commercial models. This change aims to provide AI firms with greater clarity over what material they can legally use. “Currently, uncertainty about how copyright law applies to AI is holding back both sectors from reaching their full potential. It can make it difficult for creators to control or seek payment for the use of their work, and creates legal risks for AI firms, stifling AI investment, innovation, and adoption,” the government said in a press release. The consultation, which will run until Feb. 25, 2025, and be led by the Intellectual Property Office, will also seek views on copyright protection for AI-generated art and the personality rights of public figures in the context of deepfakes or voice cloning. In May, OpenAI faced criticism for using a voice nearly identical to Scarlet Johansson’s in its GPT-4o demo without her consent. SEE: Google to Label AI-Generated Images in Search Results Peter Kyle, the U.K.’s technology minister, said in the press release that the focus is “balancing strong protections for creators while removing barriers to AI innovation.” “It’s clear that our current AI and copyright framework does not support either our creative industries or our AI sectors to compete on the global stage,” he added. Creative industry unsatisfied with the proposal The creative industry has not reacted positively to the proposals. The Independent Society of Musicians has “immediate concerns” regarding how the opt-out system will work for artists in practice. The Council of Music Makers said that “explicit consent must always be secured from music-makers,” and licensing deals should result in them being “fairly remunerated for their contributions.” Several high-profile musicians, including Paul McCartney, Kate Bush, and ABBA’s Björn Ulvaeus, have recently voiced their concerns about how AI companies use copyrighted works without permission. Dr Jo Twist, the CEO of the British Phonographic Industry, told Music Week : “We remain to be convinced that a copyright exception would move the AI and creative industries closer to agreeing on a functioning licensing model; in fact, we believe it would further disincentivise tech companies from doing so.” Publishers Association CEO, Dan Conway, agreed, saying in a statement that “there has been no objective case made for a new copyright exception, nor has a water-tight rights-reservation process been outlined anywhere around the globe.” Baroness Beeban Kidron, a crossbench peer, AI ethics expert, and former filmmaker, told The Guardian that she was “very disappointed” with the proposals as they would allow AI firms to “shirk their responsibilities.” On the other hand, techUK, the UK’s technology trade association, “welcome(s) the Government’s commitment to finding a solution that creates a competitive and supportive environment for both the UK tech and creative sectors,” as per its statement . “It is in everyone’s interests to resolve these issues in a way that supports innovation and growth.” Coalition launched to urge the government to protect copyright laws The consultation was opened just one day after the launch of the Creative Rights in AI Coalition, a group advocating for the U.K. government to protect copyright laws and establish a dynamic licensing market. Members include the BPI and bodies representing authors, illustrators, publishers, and photographers. The Creative Rights in AI Coalition has three demands of the government, the first being that existing copyright law be upheld so that intellectual property owners have exclusive rights over their work, including control over licensing to AI companies. SEE: Behind the Controversy: Why Artists Hate AI Art “We must ensure the onus will be on generative AI firms to seek permission and engage with rights holders to agree on licences,” the coalition states on its website . “Just as tech firms are content to pay for the huge quantity of electricity that powers their data centres, they must be content to pay for the high-quality copyright-protected works which are essential to train and ground accurate GAI models.” It added that clear and robust copyright laws would incentivise AI companies to pay for artists’ content, ensuring that both the original training data and resulting AI-generated work remain of high quality. The second and third demands are that the government ensures creators receive transparent information about how their content is used in AI development and supports policies that balance the protections of creative rights with the advancement of AI technologies. This week’s proposal does cover these principles. However, it remains to be seen whether they are sufficient for the coalition. Many of its members, including the Publishers Association and the Authors’ Licensing and Collecting Society, have expressed that they will participate in the consultation. TechRepublic has contacted the coalition for a statement.
