Sports Illustrated is the latest media company to see its reputation damaged by being less than forthcoming — if not outright dishonest — about who or what is writing its stories at the dawn of the artificial intelligence age. The once-powerful publication said it was firing a company that produced articles for its website written under the byline of authors who apparently don't exist. Earlier this year, experiments with AI went awry at both the Gannett newspaper chain and the CNET technology website. On Monday, the Futurism website reported that Sports Illustrated used stories for product reviews that had authors it could not identify. At the end of each such story is a note that explains technology's role in its production, a spokeswoman said.

REUTERS/Guglielmo Mangiapane/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsROME, Nov 16 (Reuters) - Italy's rightist government on Thursday backed a raft of measures to improve public security including potentially tougher penalties for women offenders who are pregnant or have very young children, in a move aimed at pickpockets. The coalition League party had long called for the scrapping of a rule that prevents such women from being immediately detained, as part of its campaign against foreign pickpockets on public transport. "This is aimed at avoiding the use of the maternity status as an exemption when committing a crime," the minister said. In a statement, the Green-Left Alliance (AVS) called it an "abuse against pregnant women and their children ... who are blameless". The measure has been included in a government bill subject to approval by both houses of parliament before becoming law.
