Tim Walz has supported publicly and is expected to sign, stipulates that starting January 1, 2025, drivers will be entitled to earn at least $1.28 per mile and $0.31 per minute.
The US Department of Justice arrested a Wisconsin man last week for generating and distributing AI-generated child sexual abuse material.

Microsoft wants to put its Copilot everywhere. It's only a matter of time before Microsoft renames its annual Build developer conference to Microsoft Copilot.

Copilot Studio, meanwhile, provides tools to connect Copilot for Microsoft 365 -- the AI-powered "copilot" in apps like Excel, Word and PowerPoint as well as Microsoft’s Edge browser and Windows -- to third-party data.
