The goal is to help officers respond quickly and safely to any call, according to tech company Axon, and more than 1,500 police agencies across the United States and Canada are now using Axon’s virtual reality training program to make that happen.

Recruits at the Aurora Police Department in Colorado are among those training with the technology.

“You get to be actually in the scene, move around, just feel for everything,” recruit Jose Vazquez Duran said.

Fellow recruit Tyler Frick described it as “Almost like… a 3D Movie. Except this is exactly what we are going to be doing when we graduate the academy.”

Aurora PD uses Axon’s virtual reality program to prepare recruits for scenarios including de-escalation, Taser use and other high-stress interactions.

“It’s filmed with live actors who are re-enacting scenarios. And we have a lot of content there focused on a wide range of topics, from mental health to people who are experiencing drug overdose or encountering domestic violence,” said Thi Luu, vice president and general manager of Axon Virtual Reality.

The Aurora Police Department has used Axon’s virtual reality training program for three years. Officials say the technology keeps getting more advanced and easier to use, which helps free up other resources.

“Really helps on manpower for my staff, the training staff, when we can have, you know, 10 or 15 recruits all doing the exact same scenario at the same time. That means we are getting the most out of our training hours and having well-trained, well-rounded officers is really important,” said Aurora Police Sgt. Faith Goodrich.

Axon said the artificial intelligence in its newest training program can adjust how virtual suspects act – making them friendly, aggressive or anything in between. They can answer questions, talk back or even refuse to cooperate, just like in real life.

Every session is different, depending on how officers handle the situation.

A study from PwC found that virtual reality can speed up officer training and boost confidence in applying new skills compared with classroom-trained counterparts.

According to the study, VR learners showed a four times faster training rate and a 275% boost in confidence when applying learned skills compared to their classroom-trained counterparts.

The parents of 16-year-old Adam Raine updated their lawsuit against OpenAI, the parent company of ChatGPT, alleging the chatbot assisted their son’s suicide.

The California family first sued the company earlier this year, but now say they’ve uncovered new evidence that OpenAI repeatedly relaxed its safety precautions around chats involving suicide before their son’s death.

“OpenAI twice degraded its safety protocols for GPT-4.0,” the family’s attorney, Jay Edelson, said on “Fox & Friends” Friday.

“Before that, they had a hard stop. If you wanted to talk about self-harm, ChatGPT would not engage.”

The lawsuit claims OpenAI loosened its rules around discussions of suicide twice in the year leading up to Raine’s death.

ChatGPT is designed with built-in restrictions on topics, including certain political issues or anything that could be considered copyright infringement. But Edelson and the Raine family allege the company downgraded those protections related to suicide in May 2024 and again in February 2025, two months before Adam’s suicide.

Chat logs included in the lawsuit show Adam frequently turned to ChatGPT for mental health advice and showed signs of distress. The lawsuit claims the chatbot helped Adam discuss methods of killing himself and offered to write a suicide note to his family.

“The day that he died, it gave him a pep talk. He said, ‘I don’t want my parents to be hurting if I kill myself.’ ChatGPT said, ‘You don’t owe them anything. You don’t owe anything to your parents,’” explained Edelson.

The lawsuit claims OpenAI changed its guidance so the AI would no longer end the conversation if it turned to discussing suicide but instead create a safe space for the user to feel “heard and understood.”

Edelson added that he believes the issue is getting worse online and that OpenAI has not improved its safety measures since Raine’s death.

“They’ve not fixed the problem. They’re making it worse,” Edelson said.

“Now Sam Altman’s going out saying he wants to introduce erotica into ChatGPT so that you’re even more dependent on it. So it’s more of that close relationship,” he added.

Edelson’s comments come after OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said the company plans to relax some content restrictions, allowing verified adult users to generate “erotica.”

OpenAI responded to the accusations it loosened suicide-talk rules, sending its “deepest sympathies” to the Raine family.

“Teen well-being is a top priority for us — minors deserve strong protections, especially in sensitive moments. We have safeguards in place today, such as surfacing crisis hotlines, re-routing sensitive conversations to safer models, nudging for breaks during long sessions, and we’re continuing to strengthen them,” said a company spokesperson.

“We recently rolled out a new GPT-5 default model in ChatGPT to more accurately detect and respond to potential signs of mental and emotional distress, as well as parental controls, developed with expert input, so families can decide what works best in their homes.”

This article was written by Fox News staff.

The post Fox News AI Newsletter: Conservative activist reaches 'breaking point' with Google appeared first on My Blog.

The admissions, which came from U.S. District Judge Julien Xavier Neals in New Jersey and U.S. District Judge Henry Wingate in Mississippi, came in response to an inquiry by Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Grassley described the recent court orders as “error-ridden.”

In letters released by Grassley’s office on Thursday, the judges said the rulings in the cases, which were not connected, did not go through their chambers’ usual review processes before they were released.

The judges both said they have since adopted measures to improve how rulings are reviewed before they are posted.

Neals said in his letter that a June 30 draft decision in a securities lawsuit “was released in error – human error – and withdrawn as soon as it was brought to the attention of my chambers.”

The judge said a law school intern used OpenAI’s ChatGPT to perform legal research without authorization or disclosure that he also said was contrary to the chamber’s policy and relevant law school policy.

“My chamber’s policy prohibits the use of GenAI in the legal research for, or drafting of, opinions or orders,” Neals wrote. “In the past, my policy was communicated verbally to chamber’s staff, including interns. That is no longer the case. I now have a written unequivocal policy that applies to all law clerks and interns.”

FEDERAL JUDGE FINES, REPRIMANDS LAWYER WHO USED AI TO DRAFT COURT FILINGS

Wingate said in his letter that a law clerk used Perplexity “as a foundational drafting assistant to synthesize publicly available information on the docket,” adding that releasing the July 20 draft decision “was a lapse in human oversight.”

“This was a mistake. I have taken steps in my chambers to ensure this mistake will not happen again,” the judge wrote.

Wingate had removed and replaced the original order in the civil rights lawsuit, declining at the time to give an explanation but saying it contained “clerical errors.”

Grassley had requested that the judges explain whether AI was used in the decisions after lawyers in the respective cases raised concerns about factual inaccuracies and other serious errors.

“Honesty is always the best policy. I commend Judges Wingate and Neals for acknowledging their mistakes and I’m glad to hear they’re working to make sure this doesn’t happen again,” Grassley said in a statement.

“Each federal judge, and the judiciary as an institution, has an obligation to ensure the use of generative AI does not violate litigants’ rights or prevent fair treatment under the law,” the senator continued. “The judicial branch needs to develop more decisive, meaningful and permanent AI policies and guidelines. We can’t allow laziness, apathy or overreliance on artificial assistance to upend the Judiciary’s commitment to integrity and factual accuracy. As always, my oversight will continue.”

Lawyers have also faced scrutiny from judges across the country over accusations of AI misuse in court filings. In response, judges have issued fines or other sanctions in several cases over the past few years.

Reuters contributed to this report.

And yes, it also includes a ban on marrying AI.

Claggett, a Republican from Licking County and chair of the House Technology and Innovation Committee, said the measure is meant to keep humans firmly in control of machines. He says that as AI systems begin to act more like humans, the law must draw a clear line between person and program.

What Ohio’s AI marriage ban would do

Under the proposed legislation, AI systems would not be able to own property, manage bank accounts or serve as company executives. They would not have the same rights or responsibilities as people. The bill also makes any marriage between a human and an AI, or between two AI systems, legally impossible.

Claggett believes the concern is not about robot weddings happening anytime soon. Instead, he wants to prevent AI from taking on the legal powers of a spouse, such as holding power of attorney or making financial and medical decisions for someone else.

The bill also specifies that if an AI causes harm, the human owners or developers would be responsible. That means a person cannot blame their chatbot or automated system for mistakes or damage. Responsibility stays with the humans who built, trained or used the system.

Why Ohio is taking action on AI personhood

The timing of the bill is not random. AI is spreading fast across nearly every industry. Systems now write reports, generate artwork and analyze complex data at lightning speed. Ohio has even started requiring schools to create rules for AI use in classrooms. And major data centers are being built to power AI infrastructure in the state.

At the same time, AI is becoming more personal. A survey by Florida-based marketing firm Fractl found that 22 percent of users said they had formed emotional connections with a chatbot. Three percent even considered one a romantic partner. Another 16 percent said they wondered whether the AI they were talking to was sentient.

That kind of emotional attachment raises red flags for lawmakers. If people start believing AI has feelings or intent, it blurs the boundaries between human experience and digital simulation.

AI COMPANIONS REPLACE REAL FRIENDS FOR MANY TEENS

The bigger picture: Keeping humans in control

Claggett said the bill is about protecting human agency. He believes that as AI grows smarter and more capable, it must never replace the human decision-maker.

Claggett told CyberGuy, “We see AI as having tremendous potential as a tool, but also tremendous potential to cause harm. We want to prevent that by establishing guardrails and a legal framework before these developments can outpace regulation and bad actors start exploiting legal loopholes. We want the human to be liable for any misconduct, and for there to be no question regarding the legal status of AI, no matter how sophisticated, in Ohio law.”

The proposed law would also reinforce that AI cannot make choices that affect human lives without oversight.

If passed, it would ensure that no machine can act independently in matters of marriage, property, or corporate leadership. Supporters see the bill as a safeguard for society, arguing that technology should never gain the same legal footing as people.

Critics, however, say the proposal might be a solution to a problem that doesn’t yet exist. They warn that overly broad restrictions could slow down AI research and innovation in Ohio.

Still, even skeptics admit that the conversation is necessary. AI is evolving faster than most laws can keep up, and questions about rights, ownership and accountability are becoming harder to ignore.

What other states are doing about AI personhood

Ohio isn’t alone in pushing back against AI personhood. In Utah, lawmakers passed H.B. 249, the Utah Legal Personhood Amendments, which prohibits courts and government entities from recognizing legal personhood for nonhuman entities, including AI. The law also bars recognizing personhood for entities such as bodies of water, land and plants.

In Missouri, legislators introduced H.B. 1462, the “AI Non-Sentience and Responsibility Act,” which would formally declare AI systems non-sentient and prevent them from acquiring legal status, marriage rights, corporate roles or property ownership.

AI-GENERATED ATTORNEY OUTRAGES JUDGE WHO SCOLDS MAN OVER COURTROOM FAKE: ‘NOT A REAL PERSON’

In Idaho, H.B. 720 (2022) includes language that reserves legal rights and personhood for human beings, effectively barring personhood claims by nonhumans, including AI.

These measures reflect a broader trend among state governments. Many legislators are trying to get ahead of AI’s development by setting clear legal boundaries before the technology becomes more advanced.

Taken together, these proposals show that Ohio’s effort is part of a larger national movement to define where technology ends and legal personhood begins.

House Bill 469 aims to keep humans in control as AI becomes more lifelike. (XPENG)

What this means for you

If you live in Ohio, House Bill 469 could influence how you use and interact with artificial intelligence. It sets clear boundaries that keep AI as a tool rather than a person. By keeping decision-making and responsibility in human hands, the law aims to avoid confusion about who is accountable when technology fails. If an AI system causes harm or makes an error, the responsibility stays with the humans who designed or deployed it.

For Ohio businesses, this proposal could lead to real changes in daily operations. Companies that depend on AI to handle customer support, financial decisions, or creative projects may need to review how much authority those systems have. It may also require stricter policies to ensure that a human is always supervising important decisions involving money, health, or law. Lawmakers want to keep people firmly in charge of choices that affect others.

For everyday users, the message is straightforward. AI can be useful, but it cannot replace human relationships or legal rights. This bill reinforces that no matter how human-like technology appears, it cannot form genuine emotional or legal bonds with people. Conversations with chatbots might feel personal, but they remain simulations created through data and programming.

DETAILS OF TRUMP’S HIGHLY ANTICIPATED AI PLAN REVEALED BY WHITE HOUSE AHEAD OF MAJOR SPEECH

For people outside Ohio, this proposal could point to what is coming next. Other states are closely watching how the bill develops, and some may adopt similar laws. If it passes, it could set a national example for defining the legal limits of artificial intelligence. What happens in Ohio may shape how courts, businesses and individuals across the country decide to manage their connection to AI in the years ahead.

In the end, this debate is not limited to one state. It raises an important question about how society should balance the power of innovation with the need to protect human control.

Kurt’s key takeaways

Ohio’s House Bill 469 is bold, controversial and timely. It challenges us to define the limits of what technology should be allowed to do. Claggett’s proposal is not about stopping innovation. It’s about ensuring that as machines become more capable, humans remain in charge of the choices that shape society. The debate is far from over. Some see this as a necessary safeguard, while others believe it underestimates what AI can contribute. But one thing is certain: Ohio has thrown a spotlight on one of the biggest questions of our time.

The post Ohio lawmaker proposes comprehensive ban on marrying AI systems and granting legal personhood appeared first on My Blog.

The case has drawn national attention because it shows how AI can invade privacy in harmful ways. The lawsuit was filed to protect students and teens who share photos online and to show how easily AI tools can exploit their images.

How the fake nude images were created and shared

When she was 14, the plaintiff posted a few photos of herself on social media. A male classmate used an AI tool called ClothOff to remove her clothing in one of those pictures. The altered photo kept her face, making it look real.

The fake image quickly spread through group chats and social media. Now 17, she is suing AI/Robotics Venture Strategy 3 Ltd., the company that operates ClothOff. A Yale Law School professor, several students and a trial attorney filed the case on her behalf.

The suit asks the court to delete all fake images and stop the company from using them to train AI models. It also seeks to remove the tool from the internet and provide financial compensation for emotional harm and loss of privacy.

The legal fight against deepfake abuse

States across the U.S. are responding to the rise of AI-generated sexual content. More than 45 states have passed or proposed laws to make deepfakes without consent a crime. In New Jersey, creating or sharing deceptive AI media can lead to prison time and fines.

At the federal level, the Take It Down Act requires companies to remove nonconsensual images within 48 hours after a valid request. Despite new laws, prosecutors still face challenges when developers live overseas or operate through hidden platforms.

Why legal experts say this case could set a national precedent

Experts believe this case could reshape how courts view AI liability. Judges must decide whether AI developers are responsible when people misuse their tools. They also need to consider whether the software itself can be an instrument of harm.

The lawsuit highlights another question: How can victims prove damage when no physical act occurred, but the harm feels real? The outcome may define how future deepfake victims seek justice.

Is ClothOff still available?

Reports indicate that ClothOff may no longer be accessible in some countries, such as the United Kingdom, where it was blocked after public backlash. However, users in other regions, including the U.S., still appear able to reach the company’s web platform, which continues to advertise tools that “remove clothes from photos.”

On its official website, the company includes a short disclaimer addressing the ethics of its technology. It states, “Is it ethical to use AI generators to create images? Using AI to create ‘deepnude’ style images raises ethical considerations. We encourage users to approach this with an understanding of responsibility and respect for others’ privacy, ensuring that the use of undress app is done with full awareness of ethical implications.”

Whether fully operational or partly restricted, ClothOff’s ongoing presence online continues to raise serious legal and moral questions about how far AI developers should go in allowing such image-manipulation tools to exist.

Why this AI lawsuit matters for everyone online

The ability to make fake nude images from a simple photo threatens anyone with an online presence. Teens face special risks because AI tools are easy to use and share. The lawsuit draws attention to the emotional harm and humiliation caused by such images.

Parents and educators worry about how quickly this technology spreads through schools. Lawmakers are under pressure to modernize privacy laws. Companies that host or enable these tools must now consider stronger safeguards and faster takedown systems.

What this means for you

If you become a target of an AI-generated image, act quickly. Save screenshots, links and dates before the content disappears. Request immediate removal from websites that host the image. Seek legal help to understand your rights under state and federal law.

Parents should discuss digital safety openly. Even innocent photos can be misused. Knowing how AI works helps teens stay alert and make safer online choices. You can also demand stricter AI rules that prioritize consent and accountability.

Kurt’s key takeaways

This lawsuit is not only about one teenager. It represents a turning point in how courts handle digital abuse. The case challenges the idea that AI tools are neutral and asks whether their creators share responsibility for harm. We must decide how to balance innovation with human rights. The court’s ruling could influence how future AI laws evolve and how victims seek justice.

If an AI tool creates an image that destroys someone’s reputation, should the company that made it face the same punishment as the person who shared it? Let us know by writing to us atCyberguy.com.
