When State Farm Insurance agents rose up earlier this year in a cry against changes to the contracts State Farm offers them as independent contractors, part of the pushback centered on blaming company plans for AI implementation and a deep suspicion among some agents that State Farm has designs on significantly reducing the number of

In this tutorial, we design a complete GeoAI workflow for extracting building footprints from high-resolution NAIP aerial imagery. We begin by configuring the geospatial deep learning environment, downloading raster imagery and vector labels, and inspecting their spatial properties before generating georeferenced image chips and segmentation masks. We then train a U-Net model with a ResNet-34

Welcome to dystopia – or perhaps better spelled as dystopAI: harassment, humiliation, grooming, sextortion, suicide, and fraud cases exceeding $1.5 billion in 2025. Because humans have an extremely difficult time spotting the difference between authentic images and deepfakes, the crisis is all the more difficult to stop. And it’s massive.

Peter Thorne still regularly thinks about a weekend job he had almost 70 years ago, running a computer the size of a garage. "They needed somebody to turn it on, run the test programs and make sure it worked for people at the weekend," he says. The device Dr Thorne was in charge of —
