☆ Los Angeles is using AI in a pilot program to try to predict homelessness and allocate aid
  + stars: | 2024-04-19 | by ( Kate Rogers | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +3 min
In December of last year, single mom Courtney Peterson was laid off from her job working for a now-shuttered inpatient transitional living program. Peterson said she began to research potential avenues for help, immediately concerned about making January's rent. "I started to reach out to local churches or places that said they offered rent assistance," Peterson told CNBC. Instead of an eviction notice, Peterson received a letter from Homelessness Prevention Unit within the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services, offering a lifeline. The pilot program uses predictive artificial intelligence to identify individuals and families at risk of becoming homeless, offering aid to help them stabilize and remain housed.

The regulator also noted an overarching concern that a lack of a “holistic overall risk view” could mean that controls are inadequate.

The bargain shopping app of Shein, which also hosts bricks-and-mortar pop-ups, is raising concerns in the U.S. Photo: Allen J. Schaben/Los Angeles Times/Getty ImagesA law that allows low-price packages to enter the U.S. duty-free and with little customs scrutiny has enabled the breakneck growth of two e-commerce companies with roots in China, Shein and Temu. Packages valued under $800 can enter the U.S. under simplified procedures known as the de minimis exemption. Lawmakers and some U.S. businesses say it is a loophole that the Chinese companies are using at a huge scale, allowing shipments of products that are unsafe or made with forced labor, while avoiding taxes.

The administration should block imports from seafood-processing facilities in China that run afoul of a U.S. law meant to target forced labor linked to Xinjiang, home to the country’s Uyghur people and other minority groups, said Rep. Chris Smith (R., N.J) and Sen. Jeff Merkley (D., Ore.) in a letter sent Tuesday to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas .
