An AI-controlled fighter jet took the Air Force leader for a historic ride. What that means for war

EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. (AP) — With the midday sun blazing, an experimental orange and white F-16 fighter jet launched with a familiar roar that is a hallmark of U.S. airpower. But the aerial combat that followed was unlike any other: This F-16 was controlled by artificial intelligence, not a human pilot. And riding in the front seat was Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall.

Georgia senators find little oversight over how Fani Willis spends taxpayer dollars: 'Like the Wild West'

Georgia lawmakers heard testimony Friday that caused one Republican senator to express concern that there's little oversight of how Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis uses her $36.6 million budget.

State Sen. Bill Cowsert, a Republican representing Athens and chairman of the committee, questioned Fulton County Commissioner Robb Pitts and Fulton County Chief Financial Officer Sharon Whittmore about how the DA's office receives and spends its funds. The witnesses testified that Willis has broad discretion over those taxpayer dollars, including whether to hire a special prosecutor and how much they should be paid.

"This is sounding to me kind of like the Wild West, very little control from Fulton County over a $36 million budget," Cowsert said after asking several questions about the county budget process.

"You don't know how much of that is spent on professional services, who is hired, how much they're paid per hour, what their total compensation is. Yet you're being asked to provide $36.6 million a year that you know encompasses a number of those types of independent contractors that you know you're funding with no oversight or control, right?" he asked Whittmore at one point.

The Japanese government has released a response to President Biden's recent comments asserting that the island nation is "xenophobic" for not accepting more immigrants.

Biden told the audience at a Wednesday campaign fundraiser that the U.S. economy is dominant "because we welcome immigrants."

"Why is China stalling so badly economically? Why is Japan having trouble? Why is Russia? Why is India? Because they’re xenophobic," the president said.
