The Palestinian National Authority has lurched from crisis to crisis for years, struggling to pay its arrears amid a decline in international aid. Israel has often withheld taxes it collects on behalf of the authority in an effort to penalize its leadership. On other occasions, Israel has sent tens of millions of dollars to keep it afloat.But many have called the current economic situation in the West Bank the most difficult to date.After the Hamas-led attack on October 7, tens of thousands of Palestinians who had worked in Israel were no longer allowed to enter, creating mass unemployment almost overnight. Israeli military raids, road closures and tougher checkpoints have further stifled the Palestinian economy.Before the war, Mahmoud Abu Issa, 53, earned more than $2,000 a month – an ...

Since scientists discovered earlier this year that the flu infects American cows, they have wondered how it spreads from one animal to another. An experiment in Kansas and Germany has shed some light on the mystery.Scientists have failed to find evidence that the virus can spread as a respiratory infection. Juergen Richt, a virologist at Kansas State University who helped lead the research, said the findings suggest the virus is primarily infectious via contaminated milking machines.In an interview, Dr. Richt said the findings raised hopes that the epidemic could be stopped before the virus evolved into a form that could spread easily among humans.“I think it's good news that we can most likely control it more easily than people thought,” Dr. Richt said. “Hopefully we can now kick t...

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 has adopted new rules for police use of facial recognition technology that the American Civil Liberties Union, which represented Mr. Williams, says should be the new national standard.“We hope this moves the needle in the right direction,” Mr Williams said.Mr Williams was the first known person to be wrongly arrested due to faulty facial recognition.

The Biden administration said this week that it opposes gender reaffirmation surgeries for minors, the most explicit statement yet on the topic from a president who has always been a staunch supporter of transgender rights.The White House announcement was sent to the New York Times on Wednesday in response to an article reporting that staff in the office of Adm. Rachel Levine, assistant secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, had solicited an influential organization International Transgender Health Committee to remove age minimums for surgery from its guidelines for the treatment of 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 sur...

Rishi Sunak’s gamble was remarkable. Five weeks ago, the British prime minister bet the house 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 o...

What does artificial intelligence sound like? Hollywood has imagined this for decades. Now AI developers are taking inspiration from movies, creating voices for real machines based on dated movie fantasies about how machines should talk.Last month, OpenAI revealed updates to its AI chatbot. ChatGPT, the company said, was learning to hear, see, and converse in a natural voice, one that sounded a lot like the disembodied operating system voiced by Scarlett Johansson in Spike Jonze’s 2013 film “Her.”ChatGPT’s voice, called Sky, also had a raspy timbre, a soothing effect, and a sexy edge. It was pleasant and modest; it seemed ready for anything. After Sky’s debut, Johansson expressed disappointment that it sounded “disturbingly similar” and said she had previously rejected OpenAI’s request t...
