Another attempted ban of the "Tush Push" has been brought before the NFL, and a team that fell in the playoffs to the Philadelphia Eagles, who made the play famous, is reportedly behind the rule change.
The Green Bay Packers, whose president Mark Murphy has come out against the short-yardage play, submitted a proposal to the NFL’s competition committee to ban it, per The Athletic.
In a Q&A on the Packers’ team website, Murphy said he was against the play, saying that it’s "almost an automatic first down on plays of a yard or less."
He also brought up the Washington Commanders’ attempts to stop it on the goal line during the NFC Championship Game, which ultimately led referees to warn them they could award a score if they continued to jump offsides.
"I am not a fan of this play," Murphy said. "There is no skill involved and it is almost an automatic first down on plays of a yard or less. The series of plays with the Commanders jumping offsides in the NFC Championship Game to try to stop the play was ridiculous.
"I would like to see the league prohibit pushing or aiding the runner (QB) on this play. There used to be a rule prohibiting this, but it is no longer enforced because I believe it was thought to be too hard for the officials to see. The play is bad for the game, and we should go back to prohibiting the push of the runner."
Now, it’s worth noting that the Packers have done their own version of the "Tush Push," going a perfect 5-for-5 when tight end Tucker Kraft gets under center on sneak attempts. They converted two of those against the Eagles in the playoffs as well.
However, those are more traditional sneaks instead of Jalen Hurts being shoved by tight end Dallas Goedert and running back Saquon Barkley from behind, making it virtually impossible to stop the play.
Hurts scored Super Bowl LIX’s first touchdown on that play from the goal line on their way to winning, 40-22, over the history-seeking Kansas City Chiefs.
Other teams have attempted their own version of the "Tush Push," but the Eagles have mastered the play, hitting successfully on first-down conversions or touchdowns more than any team by far.
Last offseason, there was some heated debate about whether the play should remain in the game, but it never came to a vote.
League owners would have to vote to have the play removed, which would be done in March.
Amazon is holding a press event this week, where we expect it to finally launch its “new” Alexa. This could be the beginning of a major shift in how we use generative AI in our homes, or it could be a big disappointment.
The latter seems likely, based on the delays and persistent rumors that the voice assistant is struggling with its revamp. But I’m hoping we’ll at least end up somewhere in the middle — with a smarter, more useful Alexa, if not the “superhuman assistant” Amazon has promised.
The event, scheduled for 10AM on Wednesday, February 26th, in New York City, is being hosted by Amazon’s new devices and service chief Panos Panay, which is a strong hint there’ll be new hardware. The flagship fourth-gen Amazon Echo speaker is way past due for an upgrade, and with smart glasses being so hot right now, I could see Alexa getting cozier on our faces.
Here’s a look at what we expect from the event, what not to expect, and what we hope is coming. Remember to tune in to The Verge’s live blog on Wednesday.
A “new” Alexa
I expect Amazon to announce the long-awaited arrival of its new Alexa, which has been rearchitected and infused with generative AI — courtesy of its LLMs, including Titan and reportedly some of Anthropic’s Claude.
First announced in the fall of 2023, the revamp of Amazon’s once trailblazing AI voice assistant has been a long time coming. While it’s fine to set a timer or play music and turn your lights off, the current Alexa has struggled to find purpose in a world dominated by ChatGPT, Gemini, and their ilk.
The new “Remarkable Alexa,” as it’s reportedly called, should understand natural speech, interpret context, respond to multiple requests in a single command, and take action on your behalf with either deeper API integrations and / or genuine agentic abilities.
All of this means that we should be able to talk to Alexa without using clunky nomenclature and get more useful responses (assuming Amazon has managed to squash Alexa’s reported need to show off).
For smart home control, we should be able to say a command like, “Alexa, turn out the lights, lock the back door, and turn the thermostat to Sleep — oh, and play sleep sounds in the bedroom,” and the Assistant will do it all.
Amazon’s new Alexa will be tuned in to your smart home and its capabilities
Amazon’s new Alexa should also be tuned in to your smart home and its capabilities. At CES this year, I spoke with companies working on integrations with the new Alexa, using the new developer tools Dynamic Controller and Action Controller that Amazon announced in 2023. Then Amazon said it was working with GE Cync, Philips Hue, GE Appliances, iRobot, and Roborock on features that would allow the Assistant to better understand what you want devices to do. For example, say “Alexa, the floor is dirty,” and it will send out your robot vac.
GE Cync’s Carmen Pastore confirmed to The Verge that the smart lighting company is working on integrating what he called “Amazon Alexa Reflex” to simplify lighting scene control with natural language voice commands.
This is where Alexa can differentiate itself. The voice assistant could bring value if it can fuse its current capabilities with generative AI-powered improvements. However, reports suggest this has been a challenge, with the new Alexa prone to hallucinating or refusing to turn on lights. It’s also an area competitors Apple and Google, who are tackling the same challenge with Siri and Google Assistant, are reportedly struggling with.
A new flagship Echo speaker and better access to Alexa on the go
Thanks to the billions of cheap Alexa-enabled devices in people’s homes, Amazon has a head start in the smart home. However, the flagship Echo fourth-gen smart speaker is now four years old. The company has said its new Alexa will run on all current hardware, but I expect the improved voice assistant will come with a shiny new home — especially considering Panay, the new devices and services chief, has impressive hardware chops, courtesy of his time at Microsoft building the Surface line.
The stage is set for an Echo speaker with a new design, improved processing power, local control, and more sensors
When it announced the new Alexa in 2023, Amazon launched the Echo Hub smart home controller and the third-gen Echo Show 8 smart home display. While we might see an Echo Hub 2.0, the stage is set for a new Echo speaker with a new design, improved processing power, local control, and more smart home sensors.
While the home is Alexa’s comfort zone, Amazon could continue pushing us to use Alexa on the go with new Echo Frame smart glasses and a third generation of the flagship Echo Buds, making the smarter Alexa accessible wherever we are.
New Fire TV features
At the 2023 event, Amazon showed off several new AI features on its Fire TV line, including an improved Alexa search and generative AI screensavers, along with a new soundbar and souped-up Fire TV sticks. While new capabilities are likely, it’s also possible we’ll see new, more powerful Fire TV hardware, perhaps with Thread and Matter functionality built in, to help power deeper integration between Fire TV, Alexa, and the smart home. We’ll have to wait and see.
No firehose of crazy gadgets
We probably won’t see a slew of new devices. There wasn’t a traditional fall hardware event in 2024. Instead, Amazon has announced a steady flow of new products over the past few months, including new Kindles and two new Echo Shows. And earlier this month, Ring announced its first 2K-capable security camera, and Eero expanded its line of Wi-Fi 7 routers. All of this points to this event being just about Alexa and ways to communicate with the AI.
Alexa for a price
Amazon has said publicly that it’s considering charging for the new Alexa, with reports suggesting a price between $5 and $10 a month. Some have said it will be free for a limited time.
Reuters reported that Amazon could generate $600 million annually if just 10 percent of its users paid $5 per month for the service. Considering that Amazon reportedly lost over $25 billion on its Alexa division, this would be a much-needed boost for the product.
Making Alexa really useful is Amazon’s biggest hurdle
A subscription-based Alexa would be a first for the company, but it’s fairly common with AI services. In the smart home, we’ve already seen features like AI-powered video search from Ring and Google Home behind paywalls.
But will you pay for a better Alexa? If it can deliver on its promises and more — maybe. The new Alexa needs to create enough value for users. One area it can do this is by solving specific problems. For example, I tested the Skylight Calendar, whose AI assistant could manage my household’s calendar for me. It costs $80 a year but is genuinely useful.
Making Alexa really useful is Amazon’s biggest hurdle. It doesn’t have the personal context that competing assistants like Siri and Google Assistant have by being embedded in your phone. If Amazon can find a way to connect to that personal data, combined with the context it has about your home, it could get there. It’s a big if, and Amazon has a huge trust and privacy mountain to climb to get there.
The University of Virginia Health Hospital will end its service providing transgender treatments to new patients as young as 11, falling in line with President Donald Trump's order after being at risk of losing federal funding.
The medical center, an academic healthcare facility associated with the University of Virginia (UVA), has been offering transgender medical care to minors aged 11 to 25, including providing children with puberty blockers that delay sex-related physical changes and cross-sex hormones, like testosterone and estrogen.
However, in compliance with a recent executive order from the White House banning such treatments on children, the Board of Visitors passed a resolution that the center will no longer provide the services to new patients.
"Common sense and medical ethics have prevailed," Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin, R-Va., wrote in a post on X.
"I’m grateful to the University of Virginia Board of Visitors for its action today to stop harmful transgender treatments for minors and to transfer existing patients to other providers," Younkin added.
Under the new resolution, the UVA Hospital will no longer provide new patients who are minors with services related to sex, contraception, and referrals for gender-affirming surgeries and voice therapy, according to its website.
Additionally, transgender individuals seeking medical care at the hospital will be referred to alternate private healthcare providers.
Trump signed an executive order in January to restrict "chemical and surgical" sex-change procedures for minors and threatened to cut off "federal financial participation in institutions which seek to provide these barbaric medical procedures that should have never been allowed to take place!"
UVA Hospital affiliates currently receive over $100 million in federal funding each year from the National Institute of Health (NIH) and "a loss of such federal funding would jeopardize the financial viability of the University," according to the new resolution.
The UVA School of Medicine’s funding increased from $155.1 million in 2022 to $174.2 million in 2023, the UVA reported in February, citing the Blue Ridge Institute for Medical Research.
The Secret Service agent who heroically jumped into action to try to shield President John F. Kennedy during his assassination in 1963, Clint Hill, has died at the age of 93.
"It is with a broken heart that I must announce the passing of my remarkable husband, Clint Hill. He died peacefully at home, in my arms, on February 21, 2025," Hill's wife, Lisa McCubbin Hill, posted to Instagram, confirming his death.
Hill died Friday at his home in California, the Associated Press reported.
Hill was a 31-year-old Secret Service agent assigned to first lady Jackie Kennedy's security detail when he traveled with the first couple to Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963.
The young agent was captured on camera in famous photos jumping on the back of the vehicle carrying the president and first lady after gunfire broke out, killing the nation's 35th president. As the first lady made her way out of convertible amid the chaos, she was seen crawling towards Hill in the devastating photos.
"On November 22, 1963, three shots were fired in Dallas," Hill posted to X on the 61st anniversary of the assassination in 2024. "The horrific images are still vivid. I was a 31-year-old unknown Secret Service agent, suddenly thrust into history. At 92, I have come to terms with my place in history. I tried. I was unsuccessful, but at least I tried."
The former Secret Service agent wrote a handful of memoirs reflecting on his relationship with the Kennedys in the years following JFK's death, including reporting that he was consumed by guilt after the death.
"Guilt and anguish consumed me. All I could think about was Dallas," he wrote in the memoir, "My Travels with Mrs. Kennedy."
"I was running as fast as I could, my arm reaching for the handholds on the trunk but it was like my legs were in quicksand," he wrote. "Mrs. Kennedy climbing out of the back seat, her terrified eyes looking but not seeing me, like I wasn't there."
Following the announcement of Hill's death, tributes poured in from those in the media who knew him, as well as others offering their condolences.
"From the moment we met, there was an undeniable spark between us. We had that once-in-a-lifetime love that everyone hopes for—a relationship filled with passion, respect, admiration, and the pure joy of being together. I am eternally grateful for every day and every moment of the past 15 years we shared. To us, forever. Rest in Peace my Sweet Prince," his wife added on Instragram Monday afternoon.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said Monday that he would not necessarily support President Donald Trump's pick to replace him, Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fla., and acknowledged the rumor of his wife, Casey DeSantis, potentially running next year.
Donalds has not formally announced plans to run for governor of Florida in the 2026 race, but Trump said in a TRUTH Social post Thursday that Donalds had his "complete and total endorsement" if he so chooses. DeSantis, meanwhile, has been rumored to be floating the idea of his wife running for governor to donors.
At a press conference in Tampa on Monday in which he discussed the creation of Florida's own Department of Government Efficiency, DeSantis declined to back a Donalds gubernatorial bid at this stage.
"Donald Trump just got into office. I want these congressmen focused on enacting his agenda," DeSantis said. "They haven’t done very much yet. They’re not putting his executive orders into place. We’ll see what they do on the spending, but we have such a narrow majority that to be trying to campaign other places and missing these votes I think is not something that’s advisable at all."
"We’ve achieved victories in Florida. We need to start achieving those victories up there, so I think people look at it and say, you know you got a guy like Byron, he just hasn’t been a part of any of the victories that we’ve had here over these last years," DeSantis continued. "He’s just not been a part of it. He’s been in other states campaigning doing that, and that’s fine, but OK, well then deliver results up there. That’s what I want to see. I want to see them delivering results for the people of Florida. We deliver it here all the time for the people of Florida, and that’s what we need to be doing."
DeSantis said he’s going to be raising money for the 2026 race and is looking for someone "that’s going to be able to continue and build off that success that we’ve had here in Florida."
"I think a lot of people think somehow the battle’s been won, and you don’t have to worry about it. We could revert very quickly. That could happen. 100%," DeSantis, who Trump endorsed in the 2018 gubernatorial race, said. "And so it really needs to be, 'OK, are you going to be somebody that’s going to fight for people, especially when it’s not easy? Have you been willing to get in and get involved in these big battles that we’ve had and have won over these many years?’ And if you’re not willing to do that, then I think we are going to see this state revert, so I would not take anything for granted."
"We’ve had hundreds of thousands of people move here specifically because of the policies that we have, and I think that’s something that you should not take for granted," DeSantis said. "This is not necessarily something that just goes on auto pilot."
Asked about his wife potentially running, DeSantis gave no confirmation Monday but spoke highly of her political acumen and conservatism.
"People ask me all the time about our wonderful first lady, who has done a fantastic job as first lady of Florida," DeSantis said of the first lady. "I will tell you this, you’re talking about somebody like her. I won by the biggest margin that any Republican has ever won a governor’s race here in Florida. She would do better than me."
"She’s somebody that has the intestinal fortitude and the dedication to conservative principles that, you know, anything that we’ve accomplished she’d be able to take to the next level," DeSantis said.
He added that the late legendary American broadcaster Rush Limbaugh once told him at a dinner in Palm Beach during his first year as governor, "The only person I would rather have as my governor than you, is her."
On Thursday, Trump wrote on his social media platform in part, "Byron Donalds would be a truly Great and Powerful Governor for Florida and, should he decide to run, will have my Complete and Total Endorsement. RUN, BYRON, RUN!"
In response, Donalds shared a screenshot of the president's message. "President Trump is Making America Great Again. I'm committed to working with him to Keep Florida Great. Announcement coming soon!" the congressman said.
At the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) afterward, Donalds did not formally announce a gubernatorial bid but said it had been an "interesting 12 hours" and to "stay tuned."
The world's supply of Brie and Camembert could be in danger. One mold, called Penicillium camemberti, is responsible for the cheeses' iconic white rinds and creamy, tangy centers. But the qualities that once made it a star of the cheese world are becoming a liability — driving some to hunt for colorful fungi in the wild to make completely new cheeses. So, are these famous French cheeses really facing catastrophe? And what does this mean for cheese lovers around the world?
That's a confusing, but accurate, summary of the new administration's relationship with Big Tech. On the one hand, it is gearing up for a brawl with European lawmakers who have been punishing the likes of Apple, Google, and Meta for perceived antitrust violations. On the other, it is warning Big Tech companies that it will be watching for signs that the platforms are behaving badly.
We got to see both sides of that positioning last week, via two memos from the administration. On Thursday, Trump's Federal Trade Commission announced an "Inquiry on Tech Censorship," aimed at "technology platforms [that] deny or degrade users' access to services based on the content of their speech or affiliations."
But a day later, team Trump also offered Big Tech companies a chance at something they really, really want: Relief from European regulation, in the form of a memo announcing that the federal government will be "defending American companies from extortion."
The short summary of that one: Trump says he will threaten tariffs against countries that use "taxes, fines, practices, and policies that foreign governments levy on American companies."
One way to look at the two different tech messages coming out of Trump's White House could be a basic carrot and stick: We'll fight the Europeans on your behalf — but you'd better toe the line at home.
But another lens could simply be about different messages for different audiences: Trump tells the men running some of the biggest companies in the world — the ones lined up behind him at his inauguration — that he'll work on their behalf. Meanwhile, his proxies tell Trump voters that they're keeping up the pressure on Big Tech, just like they promised. Like last month's JD Vance interview with CBS' "Face the Nation", when the vice president announced that "we believe fundamentally that Big Tech does have too much power," and that the companies need to "stop engaging in censorship."
As always, we'll need to see what Trump et al actually do because announcing investigations and threatening tariffs are one thing — following up is another. Seeing where the administration puts its energy will be telling.
Despite UConn's stellar academics, its rural campus offered little appeal to me. Plus, its emphasis on science and engineering didn't align with my creative interests.
I had been rejected from all three of my top schools and only landed on UConn because it was the cheapest tuition. With my decision to attend UConn, my dreams of leaving Connecticut and going to school in a city came to a swift end. That was a hard pill to swallow.
Nevertheless, in August 2023, I packed up my bags, stuffed them into the back of my mom's car, and started my college journey. I joined clubs, made friends, and even pushed myself to take on new challenges. However, despite trying to make the best of UConn, my desire to go to a different school persisted.
I originally struggled to adapt as a freshman
As someone who never quite found their place in high school, I romanticized the idea of college. Coming to UConn, I had very rigid expectations for myself and my experience.
I never stopped to consider the challenges I might face or the possibility that I wouldn't love every minute of my time there. I expected everything to fall into place as soon as I arrived, and when it didn't, I felt lost.
I knew I wanted to be somewhere else, but I had no idea what that place was or how to get there.
I turned to a close friend, who had transferred the year before, for advice. She told me that the key to a successful transition was to "make sure the reason you're transferring has something to do with the school."
This advice stuck with me. The transition to college is hard, and it's important to acknowledge that it's not always going to be a smooth ride. I had to make sure that the problem was the school itself — not my struggle to adapt to this new life change.
I knew then that I couldn't just flee UConn because I was struggling. I had to settle in and see if it really was the wrong place for me.
I tried to make the best of UConn, but it just wasn't the right school
Coming back from winter break, I decided to give my second semester at UConn my best shot. I came into the spring semester with a more open-minded approach. I hosted my own radio show, became the social media manager of one of my clubs, and continued to develop deep connections.
By the time April came, I had turned my experience around. Yet, despite my newfound happiness, my desire to transfer continued to linger.
The moment I truly knew it was time to transfer came in the middle of March. I was walking back to my dorm room after a night spent with friends, laughing. I remember taking in my surroundings, the cool winter air, and thinking to myself, "This is great, but I have to go."
I ultimately transferred because I was unhappy in a rural environment.
I'm glad I transferred colleges based on something I could fix — not because I was searching for something unrealistic or intangible. If I had, I might have experienced the same challenges I did at UConn.
I'm glad I gave myself the time to explore my options
I transferred to Boston University, and the urban environment was the right fit for me.
During my process as a transfer, I've learned that it's easy to want to leave when the going gets tough. But I quickly realized it wasn't just a difficult transition; my school of choice was the problem. It just wasn't the right fit.
Ultimately, you know what's best for you, but it's also important to give yourself time to settle and adjust — and then you can make a definitive decision.
The time I spent at UConn was definitely transformative. It taught me a lot about myself — how I handle stress, how I deal with new environments, and what I value in a community.
But it also reinforced the idea that if something doesn't feel right, it's OK to move on.
JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon defended some of his previous comments on DEI and WFH.
He said he he's not against work from home, but he's against it where it doesn't work.
He identified some DEI efforts as wasteful, but he said the bank is committed to diverse communities.
Many people have piled into the work-from-home debate that's been amplified by Jamie Dimon's testy comments. Now Dimon has something he wants to say back to them.
During a CNBC interview from JPMorgan's global leveraged finance conference in Miami, Dimon was quick to acknowledge some of his faults.
"I should never curse, ever. That — OK. And I shouldn't get angry or stuff like that," Dimon said.
But he also didn't waste much time before defending his stance on pulling employees back to the office five days a week, a mandate that is set to go into effect for most employees starting March 3.
"I completely respect people that don't want to go to the office all five days a week. That's your right. It's my right. It's the citizen's right. But they should respect that the company is going to decide what's good for the client, the company, et cetera, not an individual," Dimon said.
"They can get a job — I'm not being mean — to get a job elsewhere, I totally understand that it may make total sense for them to do that," he added.
Dimon was defending some fiery comments he made during an internal town hall meeting in February, the audio of which was leaked by Barron's. In it, Dimon complained that there's "not a god-damn person" he can get a hold of on Fridays, and griped about employees not paying attention on "fucking Zoom."
Dimon pointed out that "we do have 10% of jobs that are full-time at home," highlighting virtual call centers in Baltimore and Detroit.
"I'm not against work from home. I'm against where it doesn't work," Dimon said.
Employees during the town hall and afterward have spoken out about some of the drawbacks of being back in the office full time. A petition against the in-office mandate has collected more than 1700 signatures. During the town hall, Dimon said he didn't care about how much support the petition garnered and reiterated that during the Monday interview.
"That's fine. They have the right to feel that way. But we're not going to change. We're going back to the office and I'm sure when we do, there'll be some seats not available. But for the most part, most of our people understand why we need to do it."
During the town hall, Dimon also sounded off on the bank's DEI-related programs, reportedly saying "I saw how we were spending money on some of this stupid shit, and it really pissed me off," and threatening to cancel them because "I don't like wasted money in bureaucracy."
He expanded Monday that what he found specifically wasteful was training programs that don't work, or too many of them, and hiring outside consultants for meetings and events. He also said a lot of small programs grew over time and should be consolidated.
"All very rational," he said about those inefficiencies.
He maintained that the bank is "still going to reach out to the black, Hispanic, LGBT, veteran, disabled communities. We're not changing that."
More than 25 million Americans move each year. And they expect their most precious items to arrive in one piece — whether they're traveling hundreds or thousands of miles.
So moving companies such as Texas' 3 Men Movers are increasingly turning to AI to meet these expectations.
Founded in 1985, long before artificial intelligence was ubiquitous, 3 Men Movers has adapted its business for the digital age. The company started testing and implementing AI-powered solutions in the late 2010s, its CEO, Jacky Fischer, said.
Today, 3 Men Movers uses the technology to detect distracted drivers and optimize route planning. It's just one of the millions of small businesses in the US that leverage AI in their everyday operations, illustrating how much the technology has redefined business.
Jacky Fischer is the CEO of 3 Men Movers and the daughter of John Fischer, the company's founder.

Creating an AI-powered moving company
Higher insurance costs and steadily growing accident rates led Fischer's team to implement AI. The company also wanted to improve efficiency and reduce costs, critical in the fiercely competitive moving industry.
"To prosper, we had to focus on safety and liability as early as possible," Fischer said in an email interview.
To improve safety, the company installed cameras in the driver's cabin. Live video is transferred to its server through an AI-enabled distracted-driver detection system. The system is trained to recognize when a driver is using a smartphone, eating, drinking, doing some personal grooming, smoking, or even yawning. If it detects distracted behavior, both the driver and the supervisor receive a notification.
In addition, 3 Men Movers uses advanced open-source routing-machine technology, which identifies the best routes between points.
"There is a big misconception that AI was born in 2020 with the launch of ChatGPT," Fischer said. "While it was a major turning point in AI adoption, machine learning and data analytics for OSRM were already used in pioneering industries such as finance, telecommunications, and logistics."
The tech helps drivers at 3 Men Movers avoid high-traffic areas, high-crime zones, places with high crash rates, restricted areas, and even environmental hazards. It also allows the company to route in the most optimal way that will avoid liability and reduce risks, Fischer said.
Balancing AI benefits and risks
So far, implementing AI has paid dividends for 3 Men Movers. Comparing the AI detection reports to manual reports, the company has determined that the distracted driver detection system has an accuracy of 91% and prevents 80% of distractions. In the first three months of use, the system reduced the company's accident rate by 4.5%, according to Fischer.
Despite these results, implementing AI wasn't seamless. One of the biggest challenges, Fischer said, was integrating the distracted-driver detection system. Some of the initial products the company tried returned too many false positives, such as misinterpreting a driver's moving patterns at different speeds.
"It was quite challenging to keep the balance between staying competitive and avoiding more drawbacks than benefits due to adopting bleeding-edge tech," Fischer said. "This is why we always keep an eye on the benchmarks and do microtests before adopting any tech, including AI."
Fischer added that testing is key for any small business adopting AI. She urges other small-business owners to remember the risks of AI. To validate the technology, companies should always ask tech providers for proof points, such as case studies, information on how their results compare with industry benchmarks, and who will be responsible for implementation and false positives or hallucinations, meaning when AI tools deliver misleading or inaccurate results.
Along with testing, Fischer said transparency is critical for AI implementation. Her company is transparent with its team about when, how, and why the AI solution is interacting with them and their data. The company has also created a feedback loop so that every team member can share their suggestions and complaints about each solution.
"AI will only augment and empower," Fischer said, "but it will never replace or lead the people."
