Exclusive look inside Gateway Tunnel construction

NEW YORK (PIX11) — Crews are working on both sides of the Hudson River to build the Gateway Tunnel Project.

The $16 billion project will add two new tracks for NJ Transit and Amtrak and double the available capacity between New York and New Jersey.

PIX11 News was given an exclusive tour of the construction site at Tonnelle Avenue in North Bergen, NJ.

Managers have also completed an important round of paperwork.

Gateway Development Corporation CEO Kris Kolluri called the submission the last milestone on the path to fully funding the project.

“The pace of progress has been unprecedented, and Gateway has never missed a submission deadline during this process,” he said.

The federal government is paying for half with the states of New York and New Jersey funding the balance.

For the next two years, work will continue on both sides of the river. A giant machine will dig the new structure under the river.

It is set to open in 2035.

Apple earnings see 10% iPhone sales drop, massive buyback fuels stock jump
Apple on Thursday reported a 10% drop in iPhone sales for the second fiscal quarter, dropping from $51.33 billion to $45.96 billion, year-over-year. Apple’s slow adoption of AI versus competitors like Google and Microsoft likely played a role in consumers’ decision to hold off on purchasing a new iPhone. Apple has promised some big announcements on that front (likely at WWDC in June), but the iPhone 16 itself likely won’t arrive until fall.

Microsoft bans US police departments from using enterprise AI tool for facial recognition
Microsoft has reaffirmed its ban on U.S. police departments from using generative AI for facial recognition through Azure OpenAI Service, the company's fully managed, enterprise-focused wrapper around OpenAI tech. Language added Wednesday to the terms of service for Azure OpenAI Service more obviously prohibits integrations with Azure OpenAI Service from being used "by or for" police departments for facial recognition in the U.S., including integrations with OpenAI's current -- and perhaps future -- image-analyzing models. A separate new bullet point covers "any law enforcement globally," and explicitly bars the use of "real-time facial recognition technology" on mobile cameras, like body cameras and dashcams, to attempt to identify a person in "uncontrolled, in-the-wild" environments.

EU plan to force messaging apps to scan for CSAM risks millions of false positives, experts warn
A controversial push by European Union lawmakers to legally require messaging platforms to scan citizens' private communications for child sexual abuse material (CSAM) could lead to millions of false positives per day, hundreds of security and privacy experts warned in an open letter Thursday. Concern over the EU proposal has been building since the Commission proposed the CSAM-scanning plan two years ago -- with independent experts, lawmakers across the European Parliament and even the bloc's own Data Protection Supervisor among those sounding the alarm.
