LONDON (AP) — Harry Kane scored a goal and lost the game in perhaps his final home appearance for Tottenham.The England captain, who again has been linked with an offseason move away from Tottenham, curled home after an indirect free kick in the eighth minute only for Bryan Mbeumo to score twice and set up another goal in the second half for Brentford in its 3-1 win in the Premier League on Saturday.Tottenham might now struggle to qualify for any European competition for next season, having come into the game in seventh place — the division’s only qualifying spot for the third-tier Europa Conference League.Brentford stayed in ninth place but is only one point behind Tottenham ahead of the teams’ final games of the season next weekend.Kane’s 28th league goal this season was perhaps his best of the campaign as he picked out the top corner with a 25-meter shot after Dejan Kulusevski rolled the ball backward with the sole of his foot at a free kick.

World needs to be ‘vigilant’ as AI technology improves and deepfakes spread: UN adviser

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:54:03 GMT

Toronto, Ontario (CTV Network) — A UN adviser says the world needs to be “vigilant” as artificial intelligence technology improves, allowing for more realistic-looking deepfakes.Deepfakes refer to media, typically video or audio, manipulated with AI to falsely depict a person saying or doing something that never happened in real life.“A digital twin is essentially a replica of something from the real world… Deepfakes are the mirror image of digital twins, meaning that someone had created a digital replica without the permission of that person, and usually for malicious purposes, usually to trick somebody,” California-based AI expert Neil Sahota, who has served as an AI adviser to the United Nations, told CTVNews.ca over the phone on Friday.Deepfakes have been used to produce a wide variety of fake news content, such as one supposedly showing Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy telling his country to surrender to Russia. Scammers have also used deepf...

This is the first time in the Zoo’s breeding program that three litters were born in one spring,” the zoo said in the release.Next month, the zoo plans to announce a public naming poll for one of the litters.With the addition of the new pups, the zoo’s breeding program now has 36 red wolves, making it the second-largest pack in the United States, after Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium in Tacoma, Washington, the news release noted.“These births are important because many of our wolves, once matured, have been moved to other breeding packs to continue to help bring this species back from near extinction.

The attraction opened in 2002 and told the story of Jesus through the eyes of Christianity. Though it was revered by many, it was also mocked. The park’s gift shop sold Holy Land fanny packs and, using bean bags, guests could hit the devil with their best shot.YouTuber Vincent Rodriguez lives in Orlando and bought a ticket out of curiosity.“It was a pretty interesting experience,” said Rodriguez. “There was a lot to see and do. I could see why it had been here in Orlando so long.”But eventually, the park was no longer able to make a profit, causing the gates to close several years ago.“You have to be successful 365 days a year,” said theme park expert Abe Pizam, who believes that in the motherland of th...
