Every new car in the U.S. will be required by law to have tech that puts constant surveillance on the driver by 2027.

AI in your car will determine if you're sober and fit to drive, automatically turning off the vehicle if it determines you're a danger on the road.

"Meta decides not to shut down Horizon Worlds on VR after all" - good thing! My whole book is based on the Metaverse. By 2044, it will be high-definition and indistinguishable from reality

"AI fake images of women and girls appalling, says UK minister"
