AI-Guided Hike Leads to Emergency Rescue on Mount Shasta, Highlighting Risks of Unverified AI Advice

AI-Guided Hike Leads to Emergency Rescue on Mount Shasta, Highlighting Risks of Unverified AI Advice

Three climbers on California's Mount Shasta required a multi-day emergency rescue after relying heavily on Google Gemini AI for their trip planning. The group, which set out for an eight-hour ascent, ended up lost for three days after one climber sustained an injury. The Siskiyou County Sheriff’s Office reported that the climbers were advised by Gemini to bring significantly less food and water than needed, contributing to their predicament. Additionally, their phone batteries died, and backup batteries failed, leaving them without offline maps and the injured hiker without a headlamp. This incident underscores the dangers of using generative AI tools, which predict patterns from unverified web sources, as a sole source of critical information for real-world activities like mountain climbing.

CMS Shifts Focus to AI Adoption Outcomes Over Usage Metrics

CMS Shifts Focus to AI Adoption Outcomes Over Usage Metrics

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) is re-evaluating its approach to Artificial Intelligence (AI) adoption, moving beyond simply tracking the number of employees using AI tools to measuring the actual outcomes and benefits derived from these technologies. According to FedScoop, CMS Chief Information Officer Patrick Newbold highlighted this shift during a panel discussion in Bethesda, Maryland. The agency has reported that approximately 80 percent of its workforce interacts with AI tools, including its internal AI assistant, CMS Chat. Additionally, CMS has over 70 documented AI use cases in the Department of Health and Human Services’ 2025 AI use case inventory and utilizes generative AI tools through discounted contracts under the General Services Administration’s OneGov initiative. Newbold emphasized that while usage data remains valuable, it is no longer the primary metric for success. Instead, CMS is prioritizing the achievement of specific outcomes, viewing AI as a means to an end rath...
