Rhode Island Urges Storm Preparedness Amid Risks

Rhode Island Urges Storm Preparedness Amid Risks

Rhode Island residents are being encouraged to prepare for potential storms as part of a three-part series by RINewsToday, coinciding with National Preparedness Month. The series emphasizes the importance of understanding local risks, such as heavy rain, flooding, and power outages, and making emergency plans in advance. The Rhode Island Emergency Management Agency (RIEMA) has provided hurricane evacuation maps for 21 coastal communities, including Cranston, Providence, Pawtucket, and Warwick. These maps highlight areas at risk of hurricane surges but do not account for all potential flooding zones. Residents are urged to familiarize themselves with these resources and follow local officials' instructions during emergencies. The series also highlights the importance of planning for power outages, transportation, and care for vulnerable individuals and pets.

Supreme Court to Address Definition of 'Consumer' in Video Privacy Protection Act Case

Supreme Court to Address Definition of 'Consumer' in Video Privacy Protection Act Case

The U.S. Supreme Court is set to resolve a circuit split regarding the definition of 'consumer' under the Video Privacy Protection Act (VPPA) in the upcoming October 2026 term, specifically in the case of Salazar v. Paramount Global. The VPPA, a 1988 federal law, prohibits video providers from disclosing consumers' personally identifiable information to third parties without consent. The core legal question is whether the phrase 'goods or services from a video tape service provider' in the VPPA's definition of 'consumer' applies to all goods or services offered by such a provider, or only to audiovisual goods or services. This case stems from a class action lawsuit filed by Michael Salazar against Paramount Global, alleging that the company violated the VPPA by sharing his video viewing history from 247Sports.com with Meta via a third-party tracking pixel without his consent.

University of Kentucky Installs AI Facial Scanning Technology in Residence Halls for Enhanced Security

University of Kentucky Installs AI Facial Scanning Technology in Residence Halls for Enhanced Security

The University of Kentucky (UK) is implementing artificial intelligence (AI) facial scanning technology, named 'Rock' and developed by Alcatraz AI, in several campus buildings, including residence halls. This technology allows students to gain entry by having their face scanned, serving as an alternative to traditional key cards. According to Alcatraz AI CEO Tina D’Agostin, the system creates a digital map of a person's face, similar to Apple Face ID, but does not store images; instead, it stores mathematical layouts. The university states that this technology is part of its broader commitment to campus safety, aiming to prevent 'tailgating'—unauthorized individuals following authorized ones into buildings. The technology is currently undergoing a two-week test trial in Woodland Glen IV and Kirwan-Blanding halls, and is also used in research labs.
