A slow-moving low-pressure system has unleashed record-breaking rainfall, with some areas receiving over 27 inches of rain.

The deluge has resulted in five confirmed deaths, left approximately 50,000 people isolated, and damaged an estimated 10,000 properties.

Con menos tendencia «woke» y «más valores norteamericanos», Estados Unidos busca liderar la industria IA

Published

on


El gobierno de Donald Trump lanzó este miércoles un plan con el que busca colocar a Estados Unidos al frente del desarrollo de la Inteligencia Artificial (IA), a través de una reducción de regulaciones, el rechazo de tendencias «woke» y la promoción de «valores norteamericanos».

El jefe de la Casa Blanca consideró en su presentación que los avances en este campo tienen el potencial de transformar el equilibrio de poder global, por lo que para Washington es un imperativo de seguridad nacional lograr y mantener un dominio tecnológico global «indiscutible».

«Estados Unidos es el país que inició la carrera de la inteligencia artificial y como presidente de este país estoy aquí para decir que Estados Unidos la va a ganar. A partir de hoy, Estados Unidos tendrá como política hacer lo que sea necesario para liderar el mundo en inteligencia artificial«, indicó en una cumbre en Washington, reportó la agencia de noticias EFE.

La iniciativa identifica 90 políticas federales que pueden acelerar ese desarrollo y se basan en torno a tres pilares: agilizar la innovación, construir infraestructura estadounidense en la materia y un liderazgo a nivel diplomático y de seguridad.

«Estados Unidos necesita innovar con mayor rapidez y de forma más integral que sus competidores en el desarrollo y la distribución de nuevas tecnologías de IA en todos los campos, y desmantelar las barreras regulatorias innecesarias que impiden al sector privado hacerlo», indicó el documento que detalla ese programa.

La administración trumpista expuso entre las prioridades acabar con las «trabas burocráticas» que, aseguró, limitan al sector privado.

«La IA es demasiado importante como para sofocarla con burocracia en esta etapa inicial, ya sea a nivel estatal o federal», añadió el texto.

El gobierno nacional, además, continuó el documento, «no debe permitir que la financiación federal relacionada con la IA se destine a estados con regulaciones de IA engorrosas que desperdician estos fondos, pero tampoco debe interferir con el derecho de los estados a aprobar leyes prudentes que no restrinjan excesivamente la innovación».

Entre sus recomendaciones, recomendó revisar todas las investigaciones de la Comisión Federal de Comercio (FTC) iniciadas bajo la gestión de Joe Biden para garantizar que no promuevan teorías de responsabilidad que obstaculicen indebidamente la innovación.

Desde Washington también se constató que los sistemas de IA desempeñarán un papel fundamental en la educación, el trabajo y el consumo de medios.

«De ahora en adelante, el gobierno solo tratará con IA que busque la verdad, la justicia y una estricta imparcialidad. No vamos a pasar por la locura que hemos vivido durante los últimos cuatro años», dijo.

El plan apunta a que Estados Unidos cuente con modelos abiertos basados en los valores del país. «Los modelos de código abierto y de peso abierto podrían convertirse en estándares globales en algunas áreas de negocios y en la investigación académica a nivel mundial. Por ello, también tienen valor geo estratégico«, indicaron desde el Ejecutivo.

«Defenderemos nuestra nación, nuestros valores, nuestro futuro y nuestra libertad«, dijo en su intervención Trump, que abogó por permitir a la inteligencia artificial bucear en el conocimiento disponible sin atravesar complejas negociaciones contractuales.

Cuando se tiene algo que entra «en esa vasta máquina de inteligencia», según el mandatario, no se puede esperar «pagar cada vez» por ello. «Simplemente no funciona así. Por supuesto, no puedes copiar o plagiar un artículo», aclaró.

Según el plan de acción, hoy en día el obstáculo para aprovechar todo el potencial de la IA no es necesariamente la disponibilidad de modelos, herramientas o aplicaciones, sino más bien una adopción «limitada y lenta» de la IA, especialmente en organizaciones grandes y consolidadas.

El Ejecutivo se propuso ampliar la alfabetización y el desarrollo de habilidades en IA, evaluar de forma continua el impacto de la IA en el mercado laboral e implementar innovaciones para capacitar rápidamente a los trabajadores y ayudarlos a prosperar en una economía impulsada por esta herramienta.

«Ganar la carrera de la IA no es negociable. Estados Unidos debe seguir siendo la fuerza dominante», dijo en el documento el secretario de Estado, Marco Rubio, para quien los nuevos objetivos marcan el camino para que el país establezca «el patrón de oro» tecnológico al respecto y que el mundo «siga funcionando con tecnología estadounidense».

Jewish leader predicts violent future for NYC residents if Mamdani wins in November: ‘Real concern’

Published

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

A New York City Jewish leader is speaking out about the possibility of a Zohran Mamdani term as mayor of New York City, telling Fox News Digital he is concerned about the safety of Jewish residents, as well as all New Yorkers.

Scott Feltman, executive vice president of the One Israel Fund, told Fox News Digital that the Jewish community in the country’s largest city is «not against» a Muslim or any person of faith running for office, but what they do oppose is candidates that «align themselves with nefarious actors» like Hamas or Hezbollah. 

«He was just recorded at a local mosque where the Imam of that mosque has basically called for the death of IDF soldiers and praised the efforts of Hamas,» Feltman said. «So that’s what we’re opposed to, and it’s a very, very real serious concern.»

Feltman pointed to the rise of antisemitic attacks in recent years, particularly in New York City, which he says has «created a certain trepidation in the Jewish community and having this particular candidate now making such inroads» is a «real concern.»

Two Israeli embassy staffers were killed in Washington, D.C., earlier this year by a man shouting «free Palestine» around the same time that an Egyptian man targeted a pro-Israel demonstration, killing one person and injuring several others, in Boulder, Colorado.

«I know that every single day I fear for my own staff knowing that our organization has been called out by this candidate, and we have no idea, you know, who’s following him and what their interests and what their actions may be. So it is a real serious concern.»

Mamdani, along with actress Cynthia Nixon, called out the One Israel Fund earlier this month in a post Feltman responded to with an article in American Thinker.

«When you go out and you align yourselves with terminology like globalize the intifada, which is basically a euphemism for kill Jews all over the world, that’s what it is, the intifada was basically a movement in Israel 25 years ago to destroy the state of Israel and didn’t discriminate against civilian or military personnel,» Feltman told Fox News Digital.

«And when you want to globalize that, the messaging is very clear to the people who are listening and following and that has put many people in the Jewish community, if not all of us, on notice and has created the feeling of genuine concern. I’m concerned for New York City in general. It’s not just the Jewish community. His platform of defunding the police and basically offering all kinds of free things to people, which I don’t think he can even accomplish, even though he keeps doubling down on the rhetoric, but just defunding the police puts everyone here in jeopardy.»

Mamdani has been widely criticized for his initial failure to condemn the phrase «globalize the intifada», which many Jewish people view as a call for violence. Mamdani eventually walked back his initial reluctance by saying he discourages people from using the phrase and told business leaders he would not use it.

Feltman referred to Mamdani as a «social media darling» and complimented the way he has been able to mobilize voters but said, ultimately, while discussing his rise, that the education system has done a «tremendous injustice to our children, especially on the university level where we see antisemitism exploding exponentially.»

Fox News Digital reached out to Mamdani’s campaign for comment.

The United Nations’ highest court on Wednesday ruled that wealthy countries must comply with their commitments to curb fossil fuels and pollution or risk being held financially liable by nations hit the hardest by climate change.

«States must cooperate to achieve concrete emission reduction targets,» Judge Yuji Iwasawa said at The Hague. «Greenhouse gas emissions are unequivocally caused by human activities which are not territorially limited.»
